What you get

PHP skills that fit your platform

Backend and application code

Your PHP developer works on the server side of your product: business logic, authentication, background jobs and admin tooling. We match the person to your framework, whether that is Laravel, Symfony or a custom codebase, so you get working features instead of a long ramp-up.

Integrations and legacy upgrades

You get a developer who can connect your PHP application to payment gateways, CRMs and third-party APIs, and who can work safely in older code. For a legacy modernisation, we agree the order of changes in the sprint plan, so each release stays small and reviewable.

One team behind the code

Your PHP developer sits inside a cross-functional Netofficials team covering front-end, back-end, QA and DevOps, with one point of contact throughout. Code is tested and deployed by people who already work together, so fewer defects reach your release.

A clear hiring path

From brief to a PHP developer you have approved

  1. Share the brief

    Send us the PHP product, the work you need covered, such as a Laravel or Symfony build, a legacy modernisation or new features, and the skills you expect. The senior engineer who scopes the work reads it, and you speak to them directly.

    You receive
    • PHP role brief
    • Skills checklist
    • Proposed developer fit

    You confirm the role and the PHP skills needed

  2. Review the fit

    We propose a developer and a technical review approach for your stack. You agree role expectations, review practices and the working-hours overlap before any commitment.

    You receive
    • Technical review
    • Role expectations
    • Communication window plan

    You approve the proposed PHP developer

  3. Plan onboarding

    We plan repository, tool and environment access with you, map who owns which modules, and agree the communication window and update cadence. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before the build begins.

    You receive
    • Repository and tool access plan
    • Code ownership map
    • Sprint rhythm and cadence

    You sign off the onboarding plan

  4. Start together

    Your PHP developer begins on a shared backlog inside your sprint rhythm. You see progress at the agreed review points and speak directly to the technical lead.

    You receive
    • Shared sprint backlog
    • Sprint review schedule
    • Direct technical lead contact

    You review progress with the named lead at each sprint review

Review the role

What to check before you hire a PHP developer

  • Hands-on PHP experience with the frameworks and CMS your product runs on, such as Laravel or Symfony
  • Direct contact with the technical lead, plus an update cadence agreed before work starts
  • Working knowledge of your constraints: legacy code, database schema, hosting and third-party integrations
  • Named responsibilities for code, review and release, so the PHP developer fits your team
Three ways to hire PHP developers

Pick the PHP engagement model that fits your roadmap

Dedicated team

A dedicated PHP team suits you if you have a long-running platform, a new build or a legacy modernisation and want a full-time remote squad focused only on your product.

  • A full-time remote squad assembled for your product, with PHP skills matched to your stack
  • Scrum sprints run with your product owner, so priorities stay in your hands
  • Source code and IP owned by you from the start of the engagement

Staff augmentation

Staff augmentation suits you if your own team already runs the PHP product and you need one or two engineers to join it and work to your standards.

  • A PHP engineer added to your team for a specific skill gap, such as Laravel, Symfony or legacy code
  • PHP engineers work in your repository, ticketing, code review and CI setup
  • Communication window and update cadence agreed with your team before the first commit

Project delivery

Project delivery suits you if the PHP work has a clear start and finish, such as a defined feature set or migration, and you want a fixed-price scope with a handover at the end.

  • Fixed-price scope, acceptance criteria and milestones for your PHP build set out in writing
  • A sprint-end review where you check working PHP features with the technical lead
  • New PHP features or integrations beyond the agreed scope go through a priced change request
Hiring a PHP developer: your questions answered

Questions before you hire a PHP developer

Who owns the PHP code and IP if we hire a developer from Netofficials?

You own the source code and intellectual property, and IP assignment is written into the contract before the build begins. On a dedicated PHP team that ownership applies from the start of the engagement, so the code your developers write for your product is yours. At release, we also hand over documentation and deployment access. Send us your brief and we will confirm the contract terms with you before any work starts.

What decides the cost of a dedicated PHP developer, and how do we talk to them day to day?

Cost follows the scope: the PHP codebase and framework, how many systems it integrates with, the skills you need and how long you need them. We do not publish rates, so we quote after reviewing the role and scope. For daily contact, we agree the communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence with you before work begins. You speak directly to the technical lead, with no account manager in between. Share your brief and we will return a proposed fit and a quote.

Can a PHP developer join our existing team, or should we choose another engagement model?

Yes. A PHP developer can join your team through staff augmentation, working inside your tools, sprints and review process. Netofficials also offers a dedicated India-based team and fixed-price project delivery. If your work suits one of those better, for example a clearly bounded build or a long roadmap that needs a full squad, we will say so after scoping. Tell us about your product and team and we will recommend the model that fits.

Send your PHP role brief and get a proposed fit

Tell us what your PHP platform does, which skills the role needs and the hours you want covered. The senior engineer who scopes the work stays on to lead it, so you speak directly with your technical lead. We reply with a proposed fit and the next step. Cost follows the scope, and IP assignment is written into the contract before the build begins. If staff augmentation or a fixed-price project would suit you better than a dedicated developer, we will say so after scoping.
