Descripción del empleo

We are looking for a highly skilled Web Developer to support our client Portal, currently built on a legacy stack (PHP 7.1, Laravel 4.2, MySQL 5.0). The project involves maintaining the current system and migrating it from AWS to another hosting provider (likely inMotion Hosting). This may require minor updates to the stack to ensure compatibility and stability, but the goal is to keep the application functional on its existing architecture rather than performing full modernization.

• 2+ years of experience handling server migrations or infrastructure work.
• Demonstrated experience upgrading, modernizing, and migrating legacy systems.
• Strong experience with PHP (7.x and above) and Laravel (legacy 4.x + modern versions).
• Hands-on expertise with MySQL (5.0 through 8.0+).
• Proven track record in server migrations (AWS, cPanel, or other hosting service).
• Solid Linux server administration skills (Apache, Nginx, SSH, SSL).
• Demonstrated experience in modernizing or upgrading legacy systems, including full-stack upgrades.
• Familiarity with Git workflows and deployment best practices.

Preferred Qualifications:

Nice to Have
