About the role

You will play a key role in the continued development of our coaching platform and the next phase of our product: a paid, app-based experience built around unlockable features, monthly programs, and premium functionality.

Today, we operate a PWA and web platform offering:

• Online coaching (training & nutrition plans)
• 1-to-1 follow-up with clients
• Long-term coaching programs

Our next step is to build a native app experience, designed as a standalone product with flexible monetization (feature unlocks, subscriptions, programs).

• Laravel Nova 5 with 25+ custom admin components
• MySQL 8.0, Redis (caching/queues)

• Laravel Horizon (queue monitoring)
• Docker/Sail development environment
• Upgraded from Laravel 5.8 to 12 and Nova 2 to 5 this year

Current frontend:

• Vue.js 2.7 PWA with Vite 5, Tailwind CSS 4
• Full offline support, service workers, app shortcuts

Transition plan:

• Build a React Native app as the new customer-facing product
• Vue.js PWA will be maintained during transition and features ported progressively
• Laravel backend remains and will serve the new app

Requirements

• Strong Laravel experience (required)
• Strong React Native experience (required)
• Vue.js experience (required for maintenance and feature porting)

What we are looking for

• Senior-level developer with solid real-world experience
• Able to work independently as the only dev and take ownership of features, technical choices and testing
• Detail-oriented and thorough in implementation
• Comfortable working on a long-term product, not short-term gigs
• Able to think product-first, not just code-first
• Good communicator who can work closely with a founder-led team
• Able to work in timezone Central European Time (CET)

Project background

The project has been under active development for 6 years. Previously supported by:

• One developer for 2.5 years
• One developer for 3.5 years

This is a long-term position, not a short contract.

The reason we are looking for a new developer is expertise in app building. We value continuity, clean architecture, and thoughtful decisions over rushing features.

Compensation

• Annual compensation: USD 36,000 – 48,000
• Long-term collaboration with room for growth as the product scales
