We’re looking for a reliable freelance developer to become a long-term technical partner for our e-commerce business.

Our current developer is moving on, and we need someone experienced to take over day-to-day support, development tasks, and help us navigate a major store rebuild.

What You’ll Be Doing:​

• Handling ad-hoc development and maintenance on our existing PrestaShop store
• Troubleshooting and fixing urgent issues ("fires") as they arise – quick thinking and calm under pressure are essential
• Developing bespoke modules, refining functionality, and improving performance
• Collaborating with our internal design team during a complete store rebuild
• Working with and occasionally managing server-side issues – experience with server environments is a strong plus

What We’re Looking For:​

• Solid experience with PHP, MySQL, and Smarty
• In-depth knowledge of PrestaShop, including custom module development and store architecture
• Confidence in navigating server environments to help troubleshoot and resolve deeper technical issues
• Reliable, responsive, and clear communicator
• Comfortable working independently and in sync with a team
• Available via Slack during business hours (8am–3pm or 9am–4pm, timezone flexible)

Project Structure & Budget:​

• Initial projects will be paid hourly or on a per-quotation basis, depending on the scope.
• Once we’ve successfully completed the first few tasks together, you’ll be offered a $3,000/month retainer, continuing month-to-month for ongoing development and support.
• A separate $60,000 budget has been allocated for the full redevelopment of our website, which is set to begin in approximately 4 months, with an estimated timeline of 12–18 months. You’ll play a key role in that project alongside our in-house design team.
• Long-term, you’ll be our primary developer for everything related to our PrestaShop platform.

This is a flexible but committed partnership – work comes in waves, but when it does, we need someone we can count on.

To apply, please send:

• A brief intro and relevant experience (DM is fine)
• Examples of PrestaShop or similar projects you’ve worked on
• Your hourly rate or general availability
