[01] — why hire with us

Senior PHP / Laravel devs, without the senior-dev wait.

Most engineering hires take 3–4 months. Ours take a week. Here's what makes that possible.

◆ 01

Pre-vetted, always.

Every PHP / Laravel engineer passes our 8-point assessment — technical, system design, communication, culture. 1 in 30 applicants make it.

◆ 02

Real seniors, not juniors in costumes.

Average 7+ years of production PHP / Laravel experience. Seen it, shipped it, fixed it.

◆ 03

Timezone-aligned.

At least 4 hours of daily overlap with your team — US, UK, EU, ME, APAC, ANZ. They show up to standup awake and ready.

◆ 04

Month-to-month. No lock-in.

Bill monthly with one week's notice to cancel. 90-day no-cost engineer replacement if it isn't working out. We win when you keep them.

[02] — what they can build

PHP / Laravel's in everything. So are our engineers.

Six use cases where our PHP / Laravel team consistently outships in-house engineering orgs.

Laravel monoliths

Laravel + Livewire or Inertia products. Modern PHP 8.3, Filament admins, queue workers, observability built in.

Laravel-as-API

JSON APIs backing React/Vue/mobile clients. Sanctum, Passport, rate limits — battle-tested at scale.

Symfony platforms

Symfony 7 + Doctrine for complex domain models. Messenger queues, API Platform, layered architectures.

WordPress at scale

Custom plugins, Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce extensions. Headless WP with Next.js + GraphQL when it fits.

Legacy modernization

PHP 5 / 7 → 8 upgrades, Laravel 5 → 11, framework migrations off CodeIgniter and Yii. Zero-downtime patterns.

Background workers

Laravel Horizon, Symfony Messenger, queue workers handling millions of jobs/day. Retries, DLQs, monitoring.

[06] — faq

Questions, answered.

Everything clients ask before hiring their first PHP / Laravel engineer from us.

Ask us anything
How much does it cost to hire a PHP / Laravel developer?

Rates range from mid-level to lead, depending on seniority and specialization. See our rates section above for current pricing.

Project-based engagements are quoted against scope — typically $15k–$250k+ depending on complexity. Volume discounts kick in for 3+ concurrent engineers.

How quickly can I hire a PHP / Laravel engineer?

Typically 5–7 days from your initial inquiry to an onboarded engineer. Day 1 we scope, day 2–3 we shortlist, day 4–5 you interview, day 7 they start.

For common roles we often move faster. For deeply specialized roles it can take 2–3 weeks.

What PHP / Laravel frameworks and tools are your developers experienced in?

Our bench covers the full modern PHP / Laravel ecosystem. Tell us your stack and we'll match engineers with hands-on production experience in it.

Can I interview developers before committing?

Yes — always, and at no charge. We send a shortlist of 2–3 vetted engineers with profiles, Loom intros, and code samples. You interview however you normally would (pair-coding, system design, behavioral — all fair game).

If none are a fit, we re-shortlist until they are. You only pay once an engineer starts billable work.

What if an engineer isn't the right fit?

Billing is month-to-month with one week's notice to cancel — you're never locked in.

First 90 days of an engagement: we'll replace the engineer at no cost — same process, new shortlist.

After 90 days: standard transition on your timeline with no penalties.

Do you offer part-time PHP / Laravel engineers?

Yes — minimum engagement is 20 hours/week. Below that it's hard to sustain context and quality for either side. Most clients start part-time and scale to full-time as the project grows.

Who owns the code your developers write?

You do, full stop. IP transfer is in every contract. Code sits in your repo from day one. You get complete documentation and clean handoff materials. No licensing, no lock-in, nothing "licensed back" to you — ever.

[07] — need other stacks?

Hire beyond PHP / Laravel.

Same vetting, same rates, same 7-day matching process — for every major stack we run.
