Magento Developer

Tired of Being Stuck in Magento Forever? Here’s Your Exit Strategy.

This Isn’t Another Dead-End Magento Role

While everyone else is asking you to maintain legacy Magento sites indefinitely, our client is offering something different: a planned escape route.
They need a senior Magento developer who wants to transition into modern technologies like TypeScript, AWS, and headless architectures. Not in 5 years. In 18 months.

The Reality Check: Magento (especially self-hosted) is dying. You know it, we know it, everyone knows it. But most companies want you to pretend otherwise.

The Different Approach: Our client, a fast-growing European pet food group, is actively migrating away from Magento to a modern, centralised platform. They need someone to lead this transition for their brand while learning cutting-edge tech.

What’s In It For You:
Escape Magento professionally with a clear timeline (not vague promises)
Gain valuable migration experience – the kind that makes your CV stand out
Learn TypeScript, AWS, and microservices while still getting paid to use your current skills
Own the technical relationship with a major European brand
Future-proof your career instead of managing legacy code forever

What You’ll Actually Be Doing
Phase 1 (First 12 months): Be the Magento expert for the brand’s three websites. Handle the interesting stuff – loyalty schemes, headless integrations, substantial feature builds. Not just bug fixes.
Phase 2 (Final 6 months): Lead the migration to their new TypeScript/AWS platform. Work with their core team to transition everything over.
Post-Migration: Become their dedicated developer for this brand on the new modern stack. No more PHP. No more Magento headaches.

Who They’re Looking For
Essential:
5+ years full-stack Magento development
Agency background (you’re comfortable with varied, fast-paced work)
TypeScript/JavaScript skills
AWS experience preferred
You want to transition away from Magento
Big Bonuses:
Platform migration experience (any kind)
Headless/API integration work
Commerce platform knowledge beyond Magento

The Package
£65k base (flexible for the right person)

20 days holiday + bank holidays
Christmas closure (doesn’t eat into your holiday)
No corporate nonsense – they actually close between Christmas and New Year
