Medior / Senior Laravel Developer

Medior / Senior Laravel Developer at Awoostria

Awesome to see that you might be interested in joining our volunteer team as a Medior or Senior Laravel Developer! We’re searching for people with a true passion for development who love a challenge, who want to help us take our services to the next level.

Allow me to introduce myself…

Hi! I’m Diego (Dot, DoggoDot), and I’m the Head of Technology at Awoostria. Due to my technical background, I’ve always had a heart for development, and I play a crucial role within Awoostria and its IT department.

I am responsible for managing every digital aspect of Awoostria that you will come across, a rewarding but also a significant and time-consuming challenge! That’s why I am looking for Laravel developers that are ready to take Awoostria’s services to the next level. Sounds challenging? Read on.

About the position

We’re looking for a Laravel Developer to join our small but productive team. Most Awoostria services are built with Laravel, MySQL, Livewire, Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. Our storage is managed with Scaleway S3, and we make use of Stripe for our payment processing.

You’ll spend time improving our existing services and developing new features.

About our team

The IT department is a small, but fast-paced and fully remote team. You will be in active contact with our IT Lead and Executive Board. Most of us have a full-time job as well, so you aren’t expected to be active 24/7. However, since we are a fully remote team, you must be able to work autonomously, whilst keeping your teammates up-to-date through our project management board (Linear), and our Telegram group.

What we expect from you:

• You call yourself a medior or senior Laravel developer
  Currently, we do not have the capacity to train entry-level or junior developers

• In-depth knowledge of the Laravel framework, its first-party ecosystem, and common third-party packages

• Extensive experience with PHP

• You understand how to efficiently design (relational) MySQL databases & tables whilst keeping performance and scalability in mind
  Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a MySQL guru

• Experience with writing feature and unit tests with PHPUnit or Pest PHP

• Experience with version control systems; we use Git
  You should know how to manage feature branches, pull requests, and how to resolve merge conflicts

• You have an excellent command of English, both written and spoken
  We don’t judge accents! Most of our team aren’t native English speakers.

Bonus points if you have experience with:

• Designing and developing (RESTful) APIs

• Livewire

• Tailwind CSS and front-end design

• Leading other developers

If you tick some — but not all — boxes, we’d still love to see your application! Self-confidence and an ambition to learn new things can take you a long way.

• We don't have a minimum number of years of experience for this role. We highly favour talent and interest.

• Please don't feel discouraged if you don't match every dot on our ad. There's a good chance you're more skilled than you're giving yourself credit for. So, please apply anyway!

What we offer

• A volunteer position at Awoostria, contributing to a vibrant and growing community

• Work remote; from home, on the train, in a café, or wherever you feel most productive.

• Flexible hours; no on-site attendance is required, no night shifts, and you work whenever it is the most convenient for you. (Except for pre-scheduled meetings)

• Watch your features get used by hundreds of users as they make it to production. Expect to be shipping code within your first month!

• The chance to work with a passionate team that is obsessed with shipping the best possible features.

Our tech stack ❤️‍🔥

We are extremely proud of our tech stack and code quality. When joining our team, you will need to be comfortable using the following tools and technologies:
