Description
Experience Level: Expert
General information for the business: We are an Email Service Proivder
Kind of development: Customization of existing program
Description of requirements/functionality: Who's afraid of Spaghetti code?
Me.
But...I have to live with what I got: a 9 year old monolithic legacy email marketing application that has been handled by way too many PHP "experts". The first to lay their hands on this latest version were insistent on using Smarty and then writing a lot of their own code.
How bad is it?
There is no DRY here, its hardly scalable and its not optimized.
The last team took a year to make "improvements" that have set us so far back, its like we are in pre-startup mode now.
I am building a new app with all modern, bleeding edge technologies to replace this one but there is just 1 problem:
The current system is live and I have a whole bunch of customers using it or trying to.
So, that is where you come in:
You are a rockstar PHP superhero
You are unafraid of bad, legacy code.
You are an expert troubleshooter who can detect where the problems are, fix up everything, make it as optimized as this old system can be and move on.
You are ready, willing and able to step in, work with my team to fix this system and help us and our customers get back to stability again.
You want the chance to play with cool technologies like RabbitMQ and Redis (which the old team started working with but did not get far enough). In addition you will play with some really interesting commercial MTAs that help deliver massive volumes of email per hour.
I need people to make money from this software so they can continue on with their lives and we can continue to build our latest iteration.
If you are an expert journeyman who isnt afraid to get your hands dirty, fix up something and really help us out. I want to talk to you.
I do NOT want any script kiddies or more "experts".
I want someone who knows what the heck they are doing, is a team player, follows instructions and recognizes the business needs.
This is not a longterm project but if your skills extend past PHP into python, node, pgsql, mongo , docker etc, you could be a potential help for us on our other business so this could be a very long relationship.
If you are the superhero I am looking for (and to prove you can follow instructions) please lead your post with the answer to this question:
What was the name of the Island Oliver Queen was stuck on for almost 5 years?
Specific technologies required: php, python, mysql
OS requirements: Linux

I think you need a Complete DevOps Engineer, someone more familiar with Systems, OS, MTAs and how email actually works, how SMTP handshake works, how reputation management and RBLs work and how to do efficient bounce processing. Without these scenarios clarified, no developer can make you what you seek.
I have built such bulk mailing engine before in CakePHP for a 15 years old portal, the project is in its refinement stage right now so I know the intricacies of the work. Let me know if you want to go the longer way :) -

Is it possible to test it?
