Get PHP/Laravel Developers
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.
Senior Laravel developers in LATAM cost $45-75k vs $120-150k in the US. PHP/Laravel expertise at 40-50% of the cost.
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 by far the most popular PHP framework in LATAM. The community is active, and developers are familiar with the full Laravel ecosystem.
4-8 hours of overlap with US teams. Laravel teams often run lean and communicate well async.
Laravel developers in LATAM frequently work across backend APIs and frontend JavaScript. Livewire and Inertia.js are part of their toolbox.
Every candidate completes all five stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
A timed test measuring analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving clarity, independent of specific programming language knowledge.
A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
A 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.
Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate in an engineering context, not personal contacts.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

Laravel has an ecosystem that rewards developers who use it deeply. Ours do. They know when to use Eloquent and when to drop to raw queries, when to queue a job and when to run it synchronously, and how to keep a Laravel application performant as data grows.
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.
