Laravel & Livewire Developer
About Oh Dear
Oh Dear is a website monitoring service that helps thousands of teams worldwide keep their sites running smoothly. We catch problems before users notice them - downtime, expiring certificates, broken links, performance issues.
We're a small team of 4 based in Belgium. No layers of management, no bureaucracy - just high standards and the freedom to pursue them. We've spent 7+ years building Oh Dear, and now we're ready to take it to the next level.
The opportunity
A beautiful design is only half the story. The real magic happens when someone implements it with the same level of care the designer put in. That's what we're looking for.
We're redesigning Oh Dear from the ground up. Your job is to translate exceptional designs into code that's just as exceptional - pixel-perfect layouts, smooth interactions, thoughtful animations. The kind of implementation where the designer says "yes, that's exactly what I meant."
If you take pride in craft and can't stand shipping something that's "close enough," keep reading.
What you'll do
- Implement the new Oh Dear app designs using Laravel, Livewire, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS
- Build responsive, accessible UI components that work flawlessly across devices
- Create interactions and animations that feel polished and intentional
- Work within our existing codebase - understanding and respecting what's already there
- Write clean, maintainable code that future us will thank you for
What we're looking for
We need someone who bridges the gap between design and code - and refuses to let quality slip through that gap.
-
Deep Laravel & Livewire experience — you've built complex applications, not just tutorials.
-
Pixel-perfect Tailwind skills — you can look at a design and implement it exactly, without "close enough" compromises.
-
A designer's eye in a developer's brain — you notice when spacing is off, when a transition isn't quite right.
-
Experience with data-heavy interfaces — tables, charts, real-time updates - the kind of UI that's easy to make ugly.
-
Strong async communication — we work remotely across time zones. Clear written communication and self-direction are essential.
