Hire a PHP Developer in Dubai
Engineers for the enormous amount of working software written in PHP, framework based or inherited and undocumented.
Tell us the gapPHP is judged by its worst code, which is usually what you inherit
What we screen for before you spend an hour interviewing.
Input trusted from the browser
Queries built from request data, which is how old PHP sites get compromised.
No framework and no structure
Logic and markup in the same file, repeated across dozens of pages.
Running on an unsupported version
A site on an old PHP release because upgrading was never tested.
We screen PHP engineers on security, structure and version discipline. Prepared statements, validation at the edge, and the ability to bring an old codebase up to a supported version without breaking the business.
Modern PHP work with Laravel or Symfony is a different engagement from maintaining a legacy site, and we staff them differently.
Both are legitimate, and we will tell you plainly which one your codebase needs.
A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.
One call about the work, the stack and the deadline. You get a written shortlist, not a stack of unfiltered profiles.
01You interview a short list we have already tested ourselves, and you set the technical exercise if you want one.
02The engineer starts inside your tools and your process, and we replace anyone who is not right without an argument.
03Accelerate your launch

Tested before you meet them
Every engineer is screened by our own developers on real work, not on a keyword match against a CV.
Working hours that overlap yours
Teams that sit in the Gulf working day, so review, standup and escalation happen inside your hours.
Your code, your accounts
Repositories, cloud accounts and credentials stay yours. Engineers work inside them and leave nothing behind.
One invoice, no visa admin
We carry the employment, the visas and the payroll, so you add and remove capacity without an HR project.

Tell us the gap →Questions founders ask us
Can they modernise an old PHP site?
Yes, usually in stages: supported version first, then security, then structure. A rewrite is a last resort rather than a first proposal.
Do they work with Laravel and Symfony?
Yes, and we screen for the framework you actually use.
Can they fix a hacked or compromised site?
Yes, including cleaning it, closing the entry point and hardening what allowed it.
Is PHP still a reasonable choice?
For web applications, yes. Modern PHP with a framework is productive and easy to hire for here.
