[Hiring] (Remote/Anywhere) Laravel / PHP Web Developer

We have a SaaS CRM product built on Laravel 4.2 that we're needing to rebuild in Laravel 5. Along the way we'll be re-organizing the core foundation of the application. I am a partner and the lead developer, and I will be heading up the architecture, high level structure, and other major features. The developer we hire will be working on migrating major and minor features of the CRM over to the new foundation, and writing unit tests as we go along.

We are looking for a developer with experience in the following areas:
• Laravel 4 & 5
• MySQL
• Google Services APIs (Calendar & Mail mostly)
• Testable Code
• Git (we use bitbucket)

Bonus points for experience with:
• PDF Creation using TCPDF / FPDI
• Excel report creation using PHPExcel (and/or the laravel wrapper for it)
• CRM / Sales Software
• Building RESTful json APIs

We are setting a timeline of 6-8 weeks for this project and a budget in the ~$10k range. Exact pay would depend on experience. We would like to get someone started immediately. If interested, please PM me with a brief bit about yourself, relevant work experience, and a portfolio and/or code examples/github profile if possible.

In terms of work environment, I'll be setting up a slack instance, and we will communicate via slack and/or skype. You must be able to work US hours.
