Why hire PHP developers through GlobalEmployees
PHP still runs a huge share of the commercial web, but experienced PHP programmers are increasingly hard to hire locally — senior engineers have moved on while the codebases remain. Through GlobalEmployees you hire a PHP developer in India who becomes your full-time, dedicated engineer: your hours, your standups, your repos, at up to 70% less than local cost.
Over 12+ years and 950+ placements — including for Officite and TherapySites, who ran large web operations on our developers — we've built a vetted pool of 2,800+ candidates.
What our PHP developers do
- Modern PHP 8 development — typed, tested code using Composer, PHPUnit, and PSR standards
- Framework work — Laravel and Symfony applications, plus CodeIgniter and custom MVC maintenance
- APIs and integrations — REST APIs, payment gateways, CRMs, and third-party services
- Legacy modernization — upgrading PHP 5/7 codebases safely, adding tests, and refactoring incrementally
- Performance and database — MySQL query optimization, caching with Redis, and profiling

Skills our PHP Developers bring
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a PHP developer in India?
One flat monthly rate — typically up to 70% below an equivalent local hire — covering salary, payroll, HR, workspace, and hardware.
Can your developers maintain an old PHP 5 or PHP 7 application?
Yes. Legacy maintenance and gradual modernization are among our most requested PHP engagements. We shortlist candidates with direct experience in your framework and version.
How are candidates vetted?
Technical screening on PHP fundamentals, framework depth, SQL, and real project review before joining our 2,800+ candidate pool — then your own unlimited free interviews before you hire.
Will the developer work my time zone?
Yes. Dedicated full-time employees work the hours you set, with full overlap for collaboration.
Is my code secure with a remote developer?
Developers work from our managed office infrastructure under NDA and IP assignment agreements, using only the repository and server access you grant.
What's the replacement policy?
Free replacement if a hire doesn't work out, plus a 100% money-back guarantee on the engagement.
