Hire PHP developers for your team in the Netherlands

Look for someone who can understand the code you already have and leave it easier for your own team to maintain. These are useful skills to check against your backlog.

• Modern PHPuse type declarations, namespaces and Composer, and follow PSR coding standards so other developers can read the code.
• Framework knowledgework in depth with Laravel or Symfony while being comfortable with plain PHP and older code without a framework.
• Securityuse prepared statements, output escaping and CSRF tokens, and handle file uploads and password hashing safely.
• Testingwrite automated tests with PHPUnit or Pest and use PHPStan or Psalm to find type errors before deployment.
• Legacy changesadd tests around existing behaviour before splitting large files into classes and replacing outdated functions in stages.

We are a development studio in India. The developers we provide already work on our client projects; we do not find freelancers for your brief.

1. 01

   Choose capacity

   hire a developer full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month, based on the work you need covered.

2. 02

   Agree the workflow

   the developer works in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed before work starts.

3. 03

   Include management

   a lead reviews code and keeps the work on track, so review is part of the engagement.

4. 04

   Set access

   use individual accounts with only the permissions needed, beginning in staging and adding production access after a review process is in place.

5. 05

   Confirm ownership

   we provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Record the arrangements in the contract before work begins.

If your application sets tracking cookies, we set up a consent banner and keep those cookies off until the visitor explicitly agrees. The banner should also inform visitors about qualifying analytical cookies; pre-ticked boxes and cookie walls are not valid consent.

If development requires personal data to be transferred to India, agree the transfer safeguard before giving access: India has no EU adequacy decision, and standard contractual clauses are an available safeguard. We set up pseudonymised development data where the assessment calls for it, and assess any additional measures for the particular transfer.

A little preparation gives the developer real work to begin with and makes review easier.

• Rank the backlog or describe an initial set of tasks.
• Name the person who will answer questions and agree the overlap window you need.
• Define donespecify review rules, expected tests and who approves deployment.
• Share the architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus instructions for running the project locally. Record gaps during onboarding.
