We are looking for a **Senior Full-Stack DevOps Engineer** to build a scalable migration architecture for moving 200+ legacy MODX websites to a modern static setup using Astro.

Master Astro Theme (Neutral Skeleton) * Build a reusable, component-based Astro theme (Hero, Content Block, Gallery, Footer). * Use Tailwind CSS with a clean, neutral style. * Enable easy rebranding (colors, fonts, logo) via configuration. * Focus on structure and data mapping — not final design. # 2. Migration Script (Node.js) * Create a Node.js script to convert MODX SQL exports into Markdown with frontmatter. * Map database content to Astro components. * Normalize URLs and media paths. * Ensure compatibility with static site generation. # 3. CI/CD Pipeline * Write `.gitlab-ci.yml` to: * Install dependencies * Build the Astro site * Deploy the static `/dist` folder via Rsync/SSH * Deploy to self-hosted Plesk (Nginx). * Ensure zero-downtime deployment. # 4. Server Configuration * Provide Nginx configuration for: * Clean URLs (no `.html`) * Proper 404 handling for static files # Required Skills * Strong experience with Astro (SSG mode) * Solid Node.js scripting experience * GitLab CI/CD experience (not only GitHub Actions) * Linux server + SSH + Rsync * Nginx configuration * Experience with CMS migration or data transformation * Comfortable working in self-hosted environments (no Vercel/Netlify dependency) # Important * This is an automation-focused role. * AI-assisted development workflow (e.g., Claude/Cursor) is expected. * Clean architecture and scalability are critical.
