Join Us!

TradeNet Solutions is an Australian SaaS company providing whole of business solutions to buying groups across AU/NZ/UK/US with platforms including communication, eLearning, rebates/deals, EDI, reporting, and data distribution. We’re also developing exciting new innovations to their broader supply chain with the highly anticipated launch of new technology imminent.

We’re a small, hands-on team that ships quickly, values clean code, and works closely with customers. We have an immediate need to grow our existing rockstar team of talented in-house developers by adding a new full-time PHP Full-Stack Developer.

The role (Laravel-first: legacy → Laravel)

Lead and contribute to the progressive redevelopment of a legacy CodeIgniter 3 application into Laravel. You’ll design new Laravel services, carve out legacy domains into clean modules, and own end-to-end delivery on Azure. In a compact team, your decisions directly shape the architecture, tooling, and developer experience.

You’ll work on

Designing Laravel services/modules and REST APIs to replace legacy features

Incremental migration (e.g. strangler pattern) from CI3 to Laravel

Defining domain boundaries, data contracts, and MySQL schema improvements

Front-end features with HTML/CSS/JS (Vue or Alpine) & Laravel Blade/Livewire

Quality & delivery: PHPUnit, static analysis, code reviews, and CI/CD on Azure

Observability & performance: meaningful logging/metrics, query tuning, p95/p99 gains

Who thrives here

You like small squads, real ownership, and clear outcomes. You’re pragmatic (tests, readable code, right tool), communicate early, and are happy to jump in where needed. You’re excited to use the latest coding tech in real-world applications while shaping the products with your experience and input.

What you bring

4–5 years’ experience (including 3+ years in commercial software; 2+ in SaaS)

Strong PHP with CodeIgniter 3 (legacy) and Laravel

MySQL fundamentals (queries, schema design, indexing, optimisation)

Git/GitHub, REST fundamentals, and front-end basics (HTML/CSS/JS; Vue/Alpine)

Nice to have: Azure services & pipelines, JIRA/agile, PHPUnit/automation.
