Job description

Our client, a well-known guru in the fantasy football world, is seeking a freelance Full Stack Web Developer to lead a time-sensitive platform migration.

- Implement account registration/authentication and subscription management (via Braintree)

- Coordinate partner webhook setup with third parties

- Manage production environment setup: source control, hosting, VPN access, email services

- Execute QA testing and verification (including email SPF/DKIM/DMARC compliance)

- Migrate full subscriber database and manage DNS cutover

- Set up password reset flow if current encryption methods are incompatible

You Have:

- Proficiency in full stack development (frontend, backend, database)

- Experience with WordPress and Braintree integrations
