PHP/Laravel Developer for Linux-based Platform
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
We’re looking for an experienced PHP / Laravel developer with strong knowledge of Linux systems and single-board computers (SBCs) such as Orange Pi, Raspberry Pi, or Radxa.
You’ll help maintain and extend a custom Linux-based software platform that powers interactive media and display devices. The platform is already live and stable — most of the hard work is done — but it requires ongoing maintenance, feature updates, and performance optimization.
:gear: Responsibilities
Work with the existing PHP/Laravel codebase to maintain and improve application functionality.
Debug and fix issues related to media playback, UI components, and OTA updates.
Optimize software performance for SBC hardware running Linux.
Collaborate with the lead engineer to integrate new features and streamline deployment workflows.
Manage and troubleshoot AWS resources used for system updates and hosting (e.g., S3, Route 53).
Contribute ideas for improving user interface and user experience.
(Optional) Support creation of 4K animated banners or motion poster content.
:bulb: Qualifications
Required:
Proven experience with Linux administration and SBC environments (Orange Pi, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
Strong skills in PHP and the Laravel framework
Solid understanding of UI/UX design principles and responsive front-end integration
Experience with AWS services such as S3 or Route 53
Nice to Have:
Experience with video playback, encoding, or streaming pipelines
Familiarity with home automation or embedded display systems
Background in multimedia or content-driven applications
:clock3: Work Environment
Fully remote — flexible schedule, work at your own pace.
Collaboration through regular online check-ins.
Fast-moving, creative environment focused on delivering a premium media experience.
:rocket: Why This Role
Join a small, innovative team working on a cutting-edge Linux-based media platform with global reach.
This role offers both freedom and technical challenge — ideal for developers who love solving real-world problems on embedded systems.
:envelope_with_arrow: How to Apply
Please include:
A short summary of your PHP/Laravel and Linux SBC experience
