About this role

PHP / Laravel engineers we place.

Modern PHP is not what you remember. Our developers ship typed, tested, well-architected applications on Laravel, Symfony, and pure-PHP stacks — with the kind of static analysis and tooling that the language deserved a decade earlier than it got it. They migrate legacy projects without breaking them and build new ones without leaving you with technical debt.

Skills & expertise

What our php / laravel engineers cover.

  • 01

    Laravel applications

    Eloquent, Filament admin panels, Livewire, Inertia, queues, broadcasting. We ship Laravel that survives traffic spikes and audits.

  • 02

    Symfony & frameworks

    Symfony components, API Platform, custom kernels. Hexagonal architecture where it pays off, MVC where it does not.

  • 03

    Modern PHP

    PHP 8.3+ features (readonly, enums, intersection types). PHPStan / Psalm at level max. PSR standards across the codebase.

  • 04

    Testing & CI

    PHPUnit and Pest, mutation testing, integration tests against real databases, GitHub Actions pipelines that run in under five minutes.

  • 05

    API design

    REST with OpenAPI, GraphQL with Lighthouse, JWT and Sanctum auth, idempotent endpoints, rate-limited and audit-logged.

  • 06

    Legacy modernization

    PHP 5/7 to 8.x migrations, framework upgrades (Zend → Laravel, CodeIgniter → Symfony), strangler-fig refactoring without halting feature work.

Hiring models

Three ways to engage a php / laravel engineer.

  • Most popular

    Dedicated developer

    A senior engineer working 40 hours a week as part of your team. Daily standups, your tools, your timezone overlap.

    • Full-time on your engagement
    • Direct Slack / standup integration
    • Monthly billing on time-and-materials
    • Replacement guarantee in first two weeks
    Hire dedicated

  • Part-time / hourly

    Specialist depth on demand for short-cycle work — audits, spikes, code review, migration plans. Minimum 20 hours per month.

    • 20–80 hours per month
    • Hourly logging with weekly summary
    • Same vetting as dedicated engineers
    • Stop or scale up at any month boundary
    Hire part-time

  • Fixed-scope project

    Bounded engagement with a defined deliverable, milestone billing, and a clear exit. Best when scope is stable and timeline matters.

    • Fixed-scope SOW with milestones
    • Milestone-based billing
    • Includes hypercare on launch
    • Ideal for MVPs and audits

FAQ

What teams ask before they hire.

Can your developers work on legacy PHP 5.x or 7.x codebases?
Yes. We handle the upgrade path as part of the engagement — typically a phased migration to PHP 8.x with tests added before refactors.
Do you build with Laravel only, or also Symfony / pure PHP?
All three. We pick based on your existing codebase or, for greenfield, the team you are building toward.
What about hosting and deployment?
Forge, Vapor, Laravel Cloud, plain VPS, Kubernetes. We work with what you have or recommend based on traffic profile and team size.
