Project description:
"I run a rope access company in Australia and we’ve been developing a custom job management system (SaaS) over the last 2 years. The system is already built with:
• Laravel backend
• Vue.js frontend (some areas still need modernisation)
• AWS hosting
• GitHub repo with active commits

The app includes modules for:
• Quotes and invoices
• Timesheets
• Photos and reporting
• Scheduling and calendar
• User roles & permissions
• Xero integration (in progress)
• Daily reports
• Client management
• Dashboard with activity feed

I already have a developer in the Philippines working on features, but I now need a senior, product-level engineer to:
• Audit the system
• Fix architecture or UX issues
• Polish the UI and UX properly
• Implement best practices (PR workflow, refactors, component structure)
• Finish complex features like Xero sync and advanced media handling
• Help guide the product towards a professional, production-ready standard

This is not a simple “task-based” job. I want someone who can lead the technical side, work cleanly, and finish the system to a high standard.

⸻

What I’m Looking For

✔️ Must-Have Technical Skills
• Expert-level Laravel experience
• Strong Vue.js or React experience
• Strong MySQL / database design
• Experience with SaaS architectures
• UI/UX awareness, not just coding
• GitHub workflow (branches, PRs, proper commit messages)
• Able to refactor messy areas safely
• Able to work with existing code, not just greenfield builds

✔️ Bonus Experience
• Xero API integration
• AWS (S3, CloudFront, EC2)
• TailwindCSS
• Photo/media handling workflows
• Role/permission systems
• WorkflowMax or job management apps
• Mobile responsiveness and clean UI design

⸻

Responsibilities

You will:
• Review the current system and identify what needs reworking
• Work alongside an existing developer to raise standards
• Modernise the UI where needed
• Implement a proper GitHub PR workflow
• Ensure code quality, structure, and consistency
• Finish complex modules (Xero sync, calendar polish, etc.)
• Improve performance and UX consistency
• Provide guidance from a product perspective, not just coding tasks

⸻

Who This Role Is For

This role is ideal if you are:
• A senior full-stack dev who has built SaaS products before
• Someone who enjoys taking a half-built system and finishing it properly
• Someone who understands product thinking, not just coding
• Someone who cares about polish, edge cases, security and long-term maintainability
• A strong communicator
• Comfortable providing suggestions, not just taking instructions

I do not want someone who just “codes the ticket”.
I want someone who thinks, improves, and takes ownership.

⸻

Working Arrangement
• Part-time or full time dependent on your availability, for the duration of the project
• Long-term relationship available for future projects
• Work async with weekly alignment calls
• Use GitHub for all commits and PRs
• Paid hourly through Upwork
• Must provide videos or screenshots with PRs

⸻

How to Apply

Please include:
1. A short intro about your experience with Laravel + Vue/React
2. Examples of SaaS apps you’ve built
3. A description of a project where you improved someone else’s codebase
4. Your hourly rate
5. Your availability per week
6. A link to your GitHub or portfolio

Optional but appreciated:
Tell me one improvement you would make to most job management apps.

Why Work With Me
• Clear communication
• Fast feedback
• Realistic expectations
• Long-term development roadmap
• Flexible hours
• Chance to build a real product used by companies in Australia" (client-provided description)
