Hire PHP developers for your team in Switzerland

A developer should be able to explain how their code will be read, tested and changed by the next person. Look for modern PHP with type declarations, namespaces, Composer and consistent coding standards.

• Frameworks and existing codeWork confidently in Laravel or Symfony, while understanding plain PHP and older applications without a framework.
• SecurityUse prepared statements for database queries, escape output, protect forms with CSRF tokens and handle passwords and file uploads safely.
• PerformanceProfile slow pages with Xdebug or Blackfire, investigate database queries and use OPcache or data caching where it helps.
• Legacy changesAdd tests around existing behaviour before splitting large files or replacing outdated functions. That gives reviewers something concrete to check as the code changes.

You work with developers already on our client projects, not freelancers recruited separately for your brief. We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards.

1. 01

   Choose capacity

   Hire full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month, according to the work you have ready.

2. 02

   Set up management

   We include a lead who reviews code and keeps work on track, while you direct the priorities.

3. 03

   Join your workflow

   Developers use your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with working overlap agreed before work begins.

4. 04

   Onboard the developer

   Walk through the product and codebase, set up the environment and assign a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.

5. 05

   Protect ownership

   We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm intellectual property assignment in the contract.

Your organisation may hold customer records containing information about identifiable people. If that data is disclosed to developers in India, the transfer needs attention: India is not on Switzerland’s adequacy list, and recognised standard contractual clauses must be adapted or supplemented for Swiss law where needed.

We set up individual accounts with only the access needed, starting in staging and adding production access once the review process is in place. Contractual safeguards also need checks on whether the recipient can meet its obligations; technical measures may be needed.

A little preparation gives your developer useful work from the start and makes reviews easier.

• Rank the backlog or write a first set of well-described tasks.
• Name the skills and seniority you need, including any framework or legacy-system experience.
• Decide your working hours, required overlap and who will answer developer questions.
• Define doneinclude review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.
• Share your architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus instructions for running the project locally. Record gaps found during onboarding.
