How we find the best-fit devs for your PHP projects:
With hundreds of skilled PHP engineers on our team, we focus on one thing: finding the right fit. We bring in senior developers who’ve worked in teams like yours and built solutions like yours.
Verified Senior PHP Developers
Our PHP developers are senior professionals who have proven they can solve problems in complex environments. They have 8-10+ years of experience working on large-scale applications where stability, performance, and maintainability matter. Our multi-month hiring process consists of hands-on coding exercises, architecture discussions, and technical interviews led by other senior engineers.
We focus on the challenges PHP developers actually face in the field, like how they debug complex issues and structure long-term maintainable code. This also includes how they handle tradeoffs in performance, security, and delivery speed. By design, our evaluation process gives you highly skilled PHP developers who sound technical decisions and deliver quality work without extra oversight.
Project-Aligned Experience
Seniority is contextual. A brilliant API architect isn’t always the right expert to refactor a complex monolith. At BairesDev, we have hundreds of skilled PHP developers with diverse, hands-on experience across project types. This depth allows us to provide tech talent aligned with your project’s specific context.
Modernizing a monolith? Building new features in Laravel or Symfony? We staff your team with PHP developers who’ve done that work before. That means they’re not guessing. They bring proven approaches, anticipate edge cases, and make confident decisions.
Industry Experience
We strategically staff your project with PHP developers who already understand your industry. That might mean experience building secure, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, working with HIPAA-compliant healthcare systems, or optimizing eCommerce sites for high-volume transactions.
By bringing in PHP experts who’ve tackled challenges like yours before, we reduce ramp-up time, improve decision-making, and lower delivery risk. Your internal team spends less time explaining domain constraints and more time shipping software.
Modern PHP Skills, Legacy-Aware Approach
When faced with legacy code, many teams see only two choices: a risky, all-or-nothing rewrite, or leaving it untouched to accrue technical debt. Our developers forge a smarter path forward. They’re fluent in modern PHP frameworks and experienced in stabilizing old systems and extending legacy PHP code.
From large-scale modernization to targeted refactoring, they evolve legacy PHP applications incrementally. That means preserving critical business logic, reducing risk, and avoiding costly rewrites that stall delivery or introduce new bugs. Our experts allow you to continuously modernize without derailing feature delivery.
Reliable Long-Term Contributors
Our model is built for long-term continuity. We hire engineers with a proven history of long-term commitment, embed them directly into client teams, and support them with Delivery Managers who proactively monitor performance and retention. Most of our developers stay with clients for 2+ years.
What’s better, we've built a talent ecosystem that guarantees there's always someone capable and ready to step in without disruption. Our 4,000+ engineer bench and deep expertise provides even more stability to our clients. This results in fewer context switches, better long-term code ownership, and deep knowledge of your product and codebase.

What tech leaders ask us about hiring PHP developers:
What kinds of PHP-based frameworks do your developers work with?
Laravel and Symfony make up most of our new builds, but our bench also includes veteran engineers who have tamed Laminas/Zend Framework, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, and a string of home-grown stacks. That matters if you have a patchwork of legacy services or a niche content management system no one wants to touch. We can keep proven components running while modernizing the rest. Because every senior on our roster has solved problems across several popular PHP frameworks, they know when to follow convention and when to extend or swap pieces without breaking your release schedule.
Can your PHP developers work with our legacy systems and still move fast?
Absolutely. We maintain apps that span many PHP versions, ranging from 5.x through the latest 8.x, often in the same codebase. First, we stabilize brittle code, closing security gaps, adding logging, and writing safety tests. Then we phase in modern patterns like dependency injection or service layers.
Our approach keeps revenue-producing features online while we refactor behind the scenes. Teams typically see cleaner pull requests and faster release cycles within the first sprint, even though the platform underneath may be a decade old.
Do your developers handle secure authentication and database integration?
Yes. Enterprise PHP projects live or die on secure user authentication and solid data access. We implement JWT, OAuth 2.0, or SAML single sign-on, enforce least-privilege roles, and store secrets with HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.
On the data side, we handle MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB document stores when the model requires it. Schema migrations, connection pooling, and encrypted at-rest storage come standard, so you get reliable database integration without new attack surfaces.
How do you match senior PHP developers to our project scope and tech needs?
We start by mapping project scope, tech stack, and constraints, including PHP version, architecture choices, delivery goals, and other factors such as compliance requirements. Then, we share a shortlist of senior PHP developers who’ve worked on similar projects.
Our engineers are already vetted for technical and soft skills and aligned to US time zones, allowing them to integrate quickly and work your hours.
How quickly can we onboard your PHP experts?
Because we already have hundreds of vetted senior PHP developers on our team, we can onboard new engineers and full teams in 2-4 weeks. We also take care of hardware, tool access, certifications, and environment setup.
Put simply, partnering with us is the fastest and easiest way to get top PHP developers working on your projects.
Do your developers integrate seamlessly with our team and tools?
Our developers integrate like any in-house engineer. They attend your stand-ups and use your communication and project management tools. Because our talent sits in US-aligned time zones, you get real-time collaboration with zero async overhead.
Our engineers follow your branching model, respect your code standards, and adhere to your documentation practices. There’s no extra coordination layer to manage.
What makes your model better than hiring remote PHP developers on our own?
When you hire offshore PHP developers directly, you have to screen for technical fit, navigate contracts, and risk churn. Our model offers a white-glove experience. We provide vetted, full-time PHP talent with exceptional technical and soft skills. Our engineers quickly integrate into distributed teams and take ownership. When your needs change, you don’t need to start looking for additional talent. Just tell us what you need, and we will handle the rest.
How do you hire PHP developers? How are they vetted?
We rely on hands-on, scenario-based evaluations, which are far more effective than algorithm puzzles or multiple-choice tests. Our devs had to solve real PHP problems, explain architectural decisions, and walk through trade-offs they’ve made on past projects. We assess backend fundamentals, framework depth, and how they work in remote team settings. This rigorous vetting process is how we guarantee our engineers are senior professionals with a proven track record.
Can your PHP developers build or extend scalable web applications?
That is core to our practice. We profile live traffic with Blackfire, tune OPcache and PHP-FPM, and scale horizontally behind load balancers. When traffic spikes, we lean on Redis and queue workers to keep response times low. The result is a web application that grows predictably instead of wobbling under peak loads.
Have your PHP engineers handled CMS development or built dynamic websites?
Yes. We have rebuilt WordPress plugins for a media giant, refactored Drupal modules to speed editorial workflows, and delivered headless CMS solutions that feed mobile apps and storefronts.
Whether you need custom fields, real-time previews, or multi-site management, we have the talent to keep content teams happy while developers push new features without downtime.
