Hire Laravel developers for your team in the United States

Your developer should leave code that another person can review, test and maintain as your product changes.

• Database queriesUses Eloquent relationships and eager loading to avoid a separate query for every row, and knows when to use the query builder.
• Background workMoves imports, emails and PDF generation into queues, schedules tasks and watches failed jobs with a tool such as Horizon.
• SecurityUses Laravel’s CSRF protection, escaped Blade output, hashed passwords and controls against unwanted mass assignment.
• TestsWrites feature tests with Pest or PHPUnit that call routes and check the database against your business rules.
• Database changesUses migrations and seeders so changes are tracked in version control and environments can be built from scratch.
• DeploymentCaches configuration, routes and data in production, and uses a deployment tool or CI pipeline to deploy without downtime.

Start with the shape of your backlog. Full-time work suits an ongoing product backlog; part-time or hour-based work suits maintenance, a side project or tasks that arrive in bursts.

1. 01

   Choose your developer

   We provide people who already work on our client projects, and include a lead who reviews code and keeps work on track.

2. 02

   Join your workflow

   Your developer works in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. We agree the overlap hours before work begins.

3. 03

   Start with a real task

   Set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, then give the developer a small task that touches the main parts of the system.

4. 04

   Share the working rules

   Provide your architecture overview, coding standards, branching and release process, and local setup instructions. Record any gaps found during onboarding.

5. 05

   Control access and accounts

   Start with individual accounts and the least permissions needed in staging. Add production access after the review process is in place; keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation.

If your organisation is a covered entity and the work gives a business associate access to protected health information, the working agreement needs documented assurances about safeguarding that information. We set up the written agreement before that access is given, and use individual accounts so access can be audited and removed.

If your financial institution falls under the FTC Safeguards Rule, service-provider safeguards need to be addressed in the contract and assessed periodically. We set up the contractual safeguards and an assessment process with your team for the customer information involved in the work.

Prepare the work before hiring so your developer has useful tasks to start on.

• A ranked backlog or a first set of clearly described tasks.
• The skills and seniority you need, including front-end, back-end, mobile or legacy-system experience where relevant.
• Your working hours, the overlap you need and the person who will answer the developer’s questions.
• A definition of done covering review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.
