Hire PHP developers for your team in Germany

Look for skills that fit your codebase and your team's tools. A developer should be comfortable with the testing, debugging and database tools used on the project.

• Modern PHPUses type declarations and namespaces, manages dependencies with Composer and follows PSR coding standards so others can read the code.
• SecurityUses prepared statements against SQL injection, escapes output for its context, and handles passwords, uploads and form submissions safely.
• FrameworksKnows a framework such as Laravel or Symfony in depth and can work with plain PHP or an older application without a framework.
• TestingWrites automated tests with PHPUnit or Pest and uses static analysis to catch type errors before deployment.
• Legacy workAdds tests around existing behaviour before splitting large files and replacing outdated functions in stages.

You direct the work while we handle the studio side of the engagement. That moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence away from your business.

1. 01

   Choose a plan

   A full-time developer suits a full, ongoing product backlog. Part-time or hour-based work suits maintenance, a side project or tasks that arrive in bursts.

2. 02

   Set up the workflow

   Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. Agree the hours when both sides will be available before work starts.

3. 03

   Start with real work

   Give the developer a product and codebase walkthrough, set up the environment and pick a small task that touches the main parts of the system.

4. 04

   Control access

   Start with individual accounts and the permissions needed for staging. Add production access once the review process is in place.

5. 05

   Review progress

   A lead reviews code and keeps the work on track, so questions about implementation have a clear route back to you.

For cookies or other device storage that need consent, we set up a consent banner and configure the site so that storage is used only after informed consent. Strictly necessary storage for an explicitly requested digital service is an exception.

If the work involves transferring personal data to us in India, the contract and access arrangements need attention: India has no EU adequacy decision. We agree appropriate safeguards, which can include standard data protection clauses, and set up the processor contract and approval process for any further processors.

A little preparation gives the developer real work to start on and gives your team a clear way to approve it.

• Rank the backlog or write a first set of tasks with enough detail to begin.
• Identify the skills and seniority needed, including any framework or legacy-system experience.
• Name the person who will answer questions and set out your working hours and required overlap.
• Share the architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, and local setup instructions. Record gaps discovered during onboarding.
