Senior Magento Developer (Project-based M1 → M2 Migration)

Hi, Polcode here!

We’re a global, people-first software house matching ambitious developers with challenging projects. Our team of over 100 professionals helps build and improve digital businesses, software platforms, eCommerce stores, websites, apps, and everything in between. And they’re good at it. Right now, we’re looking for an experienced Magento Developer to support a migration project for our long-term UK client. This is a clearly defined, project-based engagement (4–6 weeks), focused on migrating an existing Magento 1 store to Magento 2 and preparing the new store for production launch. The client operates in the interior design industry (designer wallpapers & home décor), and we have been maintaining their Magento 1 store for years. Now it’s time for a full migration. We’re ideally looking for a full-stack profile, but a strong backend-oriented developer is absolutely welcome.

Why this cooperation is worth your attention:

• Clear migration scope with defined objectives
• Work with an existing, stable client
• Real influence on technical decisions and implementation approach
• Collaboration in a compact, experienced team
• Short but intensive engagement with potential follow-up work

Requirements

• Migrate Magento 1 → Magento 2
• Reimplement required functionalities in a clean, maintainable way
• Support data migration (products, customers, orders)
• Work on backend customizations and integrations
• Contribute to frontend implementation (Hyvä-based setup – nice to have)
• Prepare and support production deployment
• Collaborate with 2 developers, QA, and PDM.

Responsibilities

• Strong commercial experience with Magento 2 (full-stack or backend)
• Hands-on experience with migrations and integrations
• Ability to analyze legacy solutions and reimplement them properly
• Solid understanding of Magento architecture (modules, DI, plugins, etc.)
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven project
• Experience with AI code assistants (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Codex) used responsibly
• Full-time availability (min. 40h/week) for 4-6 weeks
• Availability to start ASAP
• English at a communicative level (nice to have; not a strict requirement).
