Web & Back-end Talent

Hire PHP Developers

Battle-tested PHP engineers who ship secure, high-traffic web applications without the agency overhead.

PHP still powers more than 75% of the server-side web, and badly written PHP is the reason so many of those sites are slow and insecure. Devlex Infotech gives you the other kind: senior PHP developers who write typed, tested, PSR-compliant code on PHP 8.3, tune OPcache and database queries for real traffic, and harden every endpoint against OWASP Top 10 risks before it ever reaches production.

Since 2020 our PHP teams have delivered 25+ projects for 10+ clients across 5+ countries — multi-vendor marketplaces, ERP modules, booking engines, and API back-ends handling millions of requests a day. Hire a dedicated PHP developer from $18/hour or $2,600/month, scale the team up or down monthly, and keep 95% of the predictability that made our client retention rate exactly that number.
