We're a small remote team based out of Vancouver, Canada. We really love shipping software on the web. We built our business around delivering the most value we can to our clients and customers, and as a result all of our business to date has been through referrals. We're growing because we deliver exceptional results.
We're looking for a full-stack developer to join our team and help us build great software with Laravel. If we had to put a designation in front of the title, it'd be senior. You'll be working on a small and focused team organized around a single project within an interesting domain, devliring work for an exceptionally good client.
The project you'll work on is a Laravel 9 application built on an InertiaJS/React/TailwindCSS stack, with just over a year of active development to date. We also use Laravel Nova to handle some of the backend admin. We use Storybook to manage our front end component library. We use Horizon to manage our queues, and our infrastructure is deployed via Envoyer to EC2 instances managed by Forge. We really love the Laravel ecosystem and make full use of the tools it provides.
We've worked with Laravel a long time now, and you might say we've forked the "Laravel Way" into the "Springloaded Way". We've been putting our models into their own namespace for a long time. Our application is organized by domain, and we use single action, invokable controllers. Other than that, everything else is the same old Laravel defaults you're used to.
We write well tested code, and lean heavily on integration tests. Sometimes we take a test driven development approach to writing our features, other times we'll write the tests after the feature is complete. We don't believe in prescriptive solutions to programming - if you want to write tests first, great. If you want to write them later, also great. We don't mind as long as there's good coverage.
We're a company of developers, and we prefer to optimize our time for doing just that. Our processes are intentionally lean, with enough structure to deal with the complexities of the systems we build. We run our project management through Linear, in a kanban style format. Our repos reside in GitHub, and we review and merge code through pull requests. We try to avoid meetings where we can and favor async communication. That said, we're always more than happy to hop on a pair session.
Here's some examples of things you might work on:
We're happy to help you get up to speed in areas that may be new to you, as long as you are eager to learn them. We do need to hit the ground running, so a foundation in Laravel is a must. If other pieces of the stack are new to you, let us know if you have relevant experience that might translate over.
While this is a contract position, the existing team members working on this project have been working on it for over a year now, and we'd prefer a 6 month commitment to start. We hope to end up as your favorite client. There is potential for this role to transition into full time employment for Canadian applicants if that's of interest.
Heads up! We closed this posting on . We're no longer accepting applications at this time. If you'd like to work with us in the future you can shoot us a note, and we'll keep you in mind for future opportunities.
