The Mission
Transform our proven PHP platform's deployment and testing infrastructure in 90 days. We serve law enforcement nationwide with a register of CCTV camera locations with some streaming/remote access integrations. The product works; we just need modern DevOps yesterday. Pre-revenue startup with paying pilots starting Q1 2026. ISO 27001 assessment of our platform is about to commence.
Your 90-Day Sprint
- Week 1-2: Git migration from FTP, fine-tune existing dev/staging environments
- Week 3-4: CI/CD pipeline live, automated deployments working
- Week 5-8: Testing framework + critical path test coverage
- Week 9-12: Compliance documentation, monitoring, handover
This isn't an "ease into it" role. We need someone who can ship from day one.
Technical Reality
- Pure PHP (no framework) - 50k+ lines, working well
- AWS Lightsail LAMP + S3
- Twilio, WhatsApp Business, and Postmark integrations
- Active law enforcement users, but not mission-critical yet (still a mature pilot)
You Bring
- Proven track record of FAST modernisation projects
- "Good enough" mindset - we need working, not perfect
- Git/CI/CD you could set up blindfolded
- PHP expertise to understand our codebase quickly
- AI tools experience (Claude/Copilot) to move faster
Non-Negotiables
- Australian citizen (government clients)
- Available to start within 2 weeks
- Full-time commitment for 90 days
- Melbourne-Canberra-Sydney based or willing to travel for key meetings
The Deal
- $800/day for 90 days ($48,000 total)
- If we hit our sprint goals: permanent offer at $120-140k + equity
- If we absolutely crush it: equity discussion starts immediately
How We'll Know You're Right
Answer these without hesitation:
- "How would you ship code to production on day 3?"
- "What's the minimum viable CI/CD for a government client?"
- "How do you add testing without slowing down feature delivery?"
Not Looking For
- Architecture astronauts
