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 built multi-vendor marketplaces, ERP modules, booking engines, and API back-ends that carry real production traffic. Hire a dedicated PHP developer from $12/hour or $1,900/month, scale the team up or down monthly with 30 days notice, or send us a single scoped task from $12 first.

  • REST and GraphQL API development with OAuth 2.0, JWT, and rate-limited gateways
  • Third-party integrations — Stripe, PayPal, Twilio, QuickBooks, and custom CRM/ERP connectors

How We Work

What You Get In Writing

Terms that go into every agreement we sign. See all client commitments.

A Written Price Before Work Starts

Every job gets a scope and a number in writing first — a fixed price for defined work, or an hourly rate with a capped estimate. If scope changes, we re-quote before we build, not after.

You Own the Code

Source code, designs, and data are yours. We work in your repository where possible, hand over full documentation, and transfer everything at the end. No license fees, no hostage situations.

NDA Before You Share Anything

We sign your NDA — or send ours — before the first technical conversation. Your idea, your data, and your customer information stay confidential during and after the engagement.

Typically within 24-48 hours. We share matched CVs the same business day, you interview the candidates, and the selected developer is onboarded into your repository, tooling, and standups within two working days of approval.
