About Us

Nexora Commerce — the engine behind Tudoholic

Nexora Commerce Pvt. Ltd. is the company building the technology, data, and operating systems behind Tudoholic — one of Nepal’s largest fashion and lifestyle e-commerce operations.

We run a high-velocity, cash-on-delivery model: products are discovered, sourced from China, imported, quality-checked, and delivered across Nepal at a scale that demands serious operational and engineering rigor. The business is profitable, growing fast, and deeply data-driven — we already build our own internal tools for pricing, profitability, quality scoring, demand intelligence, and fulfillment.

What makes the next phase different is ownership. We are moving from off-the-shelf commerce platforms to our own ERP, our own algorithms, and our own machine-learning models — systems designed specifically for the economics of high-volume, COD, cross-border retail.

The Founder’s Story

Ten years ago, this started as a few hundred orders a day. Today we move roughly a thousand orders every single day across Nepal — cash on delivery, sourced entirely from China, run on a stack we have stretched, bent, and out-engineered well past what it was designed to do.

We are now at the point where the next phase of growth will not come from working the same systems harder. It will come from building our own.

Over the next two to three years we intend to grow from one thousand orders a day to five thousand, and then ten thousand. That is not a marketing ambition — it is an engineering and operations problem. It means a catalog moving toward millions of SKUs, a supplier network approaching a quarter-million sources in China, and decisions about pricing, inventory, demand, and fulfillment that no human team can make fast enough, or often enough, by hand.

So we are building our own. Our own algorithms. Our own models. Our own commerce engine that crunches millions of data points, learns from every order, and corrects itself over time. We will move off the platforms we have outgrown and onto systems we own end to end.

To do that, we are hiring five senior people in 2026 — the architects, builders, and operators who will design and run that engine. This is one of them.

What You’d Be Walking Into

  • ~1,000 orders/day today, scaling toward 5,000 and then 10,000 over the next 2–3 years.
  • A distinctive model: 100% cash on delivery, 100% China-sourced, Nepal market — unique data, margin, and logistics challenges you won’t find in a textbook.
  • A real build agenda: a custom ERP, profitability and quality dashboards, demand and pricing engines, and a roadmap toward proprietary ML models.
  • A builder’s culture: a founder who builds alongside the team, prototypes tools personally, and respects people who think in systems.

The Mission

This is the most senior technical role in the company. We’re moving off the platforms we’ve outgrown and building our own commerce engine — ERP, demand and pricing algorithms, profitability and quality intelligence, and ultimately proprietary ML models that crunch millions of data points and self-correct over time.

We need a principal-level architect who can hold the entire system in their head: the data model, the services, the ML pipeline, the migration path off our current stack, and the long-term platform vision — with the scale target of millions of SKUs and a quarter-million suppliers firmly in view.

What You’ll Own

  • System architecture: design the end-to-end architecture for our proprietary platform — ERP, catalog, pricing, demand, fulfillment, and the data backbone underneath.
  • AI/ML platform: architect the enterprise AI layer — pipelines, feature stores, and model-serving infrastructure that let our algorithms learn from every order and self-correct.
  • Migration strategy: design and lead the path off our current commerce platform onto systems we own, without disrupting a live, high-volume operation.
  • Technical standards: set the patterns and guardrails for the whole engineering org — data modeling, service boundaries, scalability, reliability.
  • Scale by design: ensure every foundational decision holds at millions of SKUs, hundreds of thousands of suppliers, and 10x order volume.
  • Force multiplier: mentor senior engineers, raise the bar, and translate the founder’s vision into a coherent multi-year roadmap.

Who You Are

  • 10+ years building software at scale, with real architect- or principal-level ownership of complex systems.
  • Deep experience designing data-intensive platforms — e-commerce, marketplace, fintech, logistics, or similar high-throughput domains.
  • Hands-on with modern AI/ML systems: you know how to take models from experiment to production, and how to build the data infrastructure that feeds them.
  • Fluent across the stack — data modeling, distributed systems, APIs, cloud — with the judgment to choose boring, reliable technology where it counts.
  • A clear communicator who can align a founder, an engineering team, and a roadmap around one architectural vision.

Bonus Points

  • Experience replacing a SaaS platform with in-house systems at a live, revenue-generating business.
  • Background in recommendation, pricing, demand-forecasting, or other applied ML at scale.
  • Familiarity with our stack: React, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and cloud-native deployment.

What Success Looks Like

Within 12–18 months: the architecture for our owned platform is defined, de-risked, and partially live; the migration off our current stack is underway; and the AI/ML foundation exists for our first proprietary, self-correcting models. The whole engineering org builds on standards you set.

Why This Role, Why Now

Every foundational technical decision we make in the next year compounds for a decade. Architect them well now — while the catalog is in the tens of thousands and the team is small enough to align around one vision — and we scale to millions of SKUs gracefully. Architect them poorly, and we inherit a decade of rework. This is the rare role where the decisions are still genuinely open, and you make them.
