About the Company

We are a growing organization operating in the property and hospitality sector, supporting two primary business units: a marina and a homeowner’s association.

Our team relies on a custom-built software platform that manages operational workflows, administrative tasks, and internal processes across these business units.

As the organization grows, we are looking to bring on a PHP Laravel Developer to maintain, improve, and expand this internal platform. This role will help transition development responsibilities away from the owner-administrator and into a dedicated technical resource.

The system is well documented, allowing a motivated developer to ramp up quickly and contribute meaningfully even at a novice-to-intermediate experience level.

This role will focus on maintaining existing features, fixing bugs, and implementing new functionality to support operational workflows for the marina and homeowner association.

The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented developer who is comfortable working with existing codebases, following documentation, and collaborating with stakeholders to translate operational needs into software improvements.

This is a great opportunity for a developer who wants to grow within an established system, gain real-world product experience, and contribute directly to improving operational efficiency.
