PHP engineer

This is not a single opening. When a US company asks for this skill, we introduce engineers from the network. Active client openings are on LinkedIn.

What this work is

You work in a PHP application a US team already runs, often Laravel. A change is a feature in their app, the database it touches, and their deploy. You follow the framework the repo already uses.

What you do on the team

On a placement, this is the work the US team expects.

• Add and change features in the PHP app the team already runs
• Follow Laravel, or the framework the repo already uses
• Update the database the feature touches
• Use AI tools to draft a controller or a test, then review it before it ships
• Cover the change with the test suite
• Ship through their deploy

The stack

• PHP
• Laravel or the framework in the repo
• MySQL or PostgreSQL
• The test suite
• Queues, if the app uses them
• The deploy path

What we look for

• PHP and Laravel, or the framework the team already runs
• MySQL or PostgreSQL
• A deploy path the team uses
• 5 or more years as a software engineer

How we check

We review work you have shipped. A keyword on a resume is not enough. You need advanced or fluent English. You will be in standups, code reviews, and Slack with a US team. You use AI tools to draft a controller or a test, then you review it before it ships. Every engineer is assessed on the four-level AI fluency scale before a client meets them. See the four levels.

How a placement runs

You join the client team and work in their repo, their standups, and their code reviews. You work US business hours from Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, or Uruguay. The placement is almost always a full-time contract. You are paid the same amount every month in US dollars. The monthly invoice is for bookkeeping. Candidates never pay to apply or to join.
