Mid-Level Laravel DeveloperPart-Time Contract Role | 1099 | Remote
We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Mid-Level Laravel Developer to join our team on a part-time, contract basis.

The developer will serve as the primary Laravel resource for an existing health and wellness coaching platform that is already in production.

This is a remote 1099 contractor position with a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week.

- Support ongoing improvements to application performance, reliability, and usability
- Apply best practices for security and compliance, especially in a health-focused environment

- 2–4 years of hands-on professional experience with Laravel and PHP
- Strong working knowledge of MySQL, including query optimization and database design
- Experience working on production applications
- Experience with APIs and third-party software integrations
- Experience with Git or another version control system
- Familiarity with front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern UI frameworks

- Clear communication and ability to provide regular progress updates
- Understanding of secure development practices
- Ability to work in an existing codebase and improve it over time
Preferred Experience
- Experience with health, wellness, coaching, pharmacy, compliance-focused, or data-sensitive applications
- Experience with AWS, server environments, or application deployments
- Experience with Laravel queues, jobs, notifications, or scheduled tasks
- Experience building automations, dashboards, portals, or internal business tools

Ideal Candidate
