Get PHP/Laravel Developers from Latin America
Laravel engineers who build production-grade web applications, APIs, and e-commerce systems. PHP remains the backbone of a large share of the web, and LATAM has strong Laravel developers who know it well.
Why LATAM for PHP/Laravel development
Strong cost savings
Senior Laravel developers in LATAM cost $45-75k vs $120-150k in the US. PHP/Laravel expertise at 40-50% of the cost.
Large PHP ecosystem
PHP powers a large share of LATAM's web and e-commerce sector. Developers here have genuine production experience with real traffic, not just personal projects.
Laravel is dominant
Laravel is by far the most popular PHP framework in LATAM. The community is active, and developers are familiar with the full Laravel ecosystem.
Timezone fit
4-8 hours of overlap with US teams. Laravel teams often run lean and communicate well async.
Full-stack capability
Laravel developers in LATAM frequently work across backend APIs and frontend JavaScript. Livewire and Inertia.js are part of their toolbox.

GitHub ActionsHow we vet Laravel developers
Every candidate completes all seven stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
* For common roles like full-stack. Other roles typically take 7 to 10 days.
CV check
Stage 1We review experience, stack, seniority, and career history against the role before anyone is invited to interview. Most applicants stop here.
Behavioral interview
Stage 2A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
Technical interview 1
Role-specificA 90-minute session covering Eloquent ORM optimization including N+1 detection, eager loading strategy, and chunked processing for large datasets. We cover Laravel's queue system: job retries, failed job handling, and rate limiting. Candidates work through a feature design: API resource controllers with proper authentication, form request validation, and Pest tests covering the happy path and validation failures. We also assess PHP 8.3+ feature usage and when Livewire vs Inertia.js is the right choice.
Technical interview 2
Stage 4A second, deeper round on system design, architecture tradeoffs, and code review, matched to the seniority you are hiring for.
Take-home assessment
Stage 5A practical assignment that mirrors real work. We review code quality, testing, documentation, and how the candidate explains their decisions.
Reference check
Stage 6We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate, not personal contacts.
Background check
Stage 7Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

GitHub Copilot for generating Eloquent models, API resources, and Pest test cases. Laravel's conventions make AI-assisted generation particularly accurate.
AI-assisted N+1 detection and Eloquent query optimization suggestions during code review.
They use Laravel Telescope in development and Laravel Horizon for queue monitoring in production.
Clear PR descriptions that explain migration changes, queue design decisions, and performance considerations.
They keep composer.json clean. They evaluate packages critically before adding them.
