I'm hiring a part-time Laravel Developer

Introduction

I’m looking to hire a new Laravel developer to work on Growth Method around 4 to 8 hours per week.

Growth Method is an opinionated project management tool specifically for marketing and growth teams. We want to be the Linear for modern marketing teams.

We have a number of early beta customers and a designer that I have worked with for years. The app is stable and has a clean and well structured codebase having been built and maintained by a senior developer up until this point.

You can work from anywhere, anytime.

The Stack

Growth Method is built on the TALL stack, hosted on Digital Ocean, and currently uses:

All development work is tracked in GitHub, and all historical context is there.

Upcoming work

There are currently 10 issues open in GitHub a few of which I’d like to tackle in the short term such as:

  • Update Livewire

  • Continue to polish MCP tool integration

  • Remove old code that is no longer used

  • Improve the self-serve signup process

Longer term, I’m thinking about things like:

  • Adding oAuth for MCP tool calling

  • Enabling Growth Method to function as an MCP server

  • Upgrading to Livewire 4

  • Moving to Prism & Prism Relay for the AI stuff

  • Using Laravel Cloud or Forge to simplify management

  • Using Pest 4 for better testing

  • Using Flux for UI components

The foundation is really solid, hence a lot of the longer-term work is optimising and improving what already exists.

Are you a good fit?

As a solo-founder I’m keen to adopt “the Laravel way” where it makes sense to keep things simple and standardised. Hopefully that translates to you enjoying working on the app and being able to move fast as well.

I am generally bullish on AI so anything we can leverage to improve your workflow (eg Laravel Boost) I’m keen for us to try. The app also uses AI itself so the more you are interested in it the better. If you are apprehensive about the future of AI and it’s important for you to manually write every line of code this project is unlikely to be a good fit.

I try to write detailed GitHub issues such that we can keep calls to a minimum but I’m on the phone or WhatsApp whenever you need. If a decision needs to be made on something we can make it together quickly - no stakeholders, no team, no managers.

I like to see progress and updates every week but you can work any day of the week, and at any time you like. If you can’t work the odd week here or there because of holidays, needing a break or some other project taking priority that’s fine. If you send me an invoice, I’ll always pay it within a day or two.
