Looking for Expert Full Stack Developer (Next.js + Laravel) – Long Term Project

I’m looking for a highly experienced full stack developer who specializes in Next.js (frontend) and Laravel (backend) to work on a large-scale eCommerce platform.

This is NOT a small project. I need someone who understands performance, scalability, and clean architecture — not just someone who writes code.

Project Overview:

Large eCommerce platform (tens of thousands of products)
Built with Next.js + Laravel
Heavy API integrations (external providers)
Requires fast performance (frontend + backend + database)

Key Responsibilities:

Optimize frontend performance (SSR, caching, fast loading)
Improve backend performance and architecture (Laravel)
Work on API integrations and data handling
Fix existing bugs and improve overall system stability
Implement scalable solutions for large datasets
Collaborate and push clean, production-ready code to GitHub

Requirements:

Strong experience with Next.js (very important)
Strong experience with Laravel (very important)
Experience with large-scale systems (50k+ products or similar)
Deep understanding of performance optimization
Experience with REST APIs and third-party integrations
Clean, structured, and maintainable code
Good English communication
Ability to meet deadlines (no delays, no excuses)

Important Notes:

Work must be pushed regularly to GitHub (no local-only work)
Progress updates are required daily
Code quality and performance are top priorities
I prefer working with individuals, not agencies

Bonus (Big Plus):

Experience with search systems (Meilisearch / Typesense)
Experience with high-performance eCommerce platforms
Understanding of caching strategies and queue systems

Budget & Commitment:

Open to fixed or hourly (based on experience)
Looking for long-term collaboration if performance is solid
