WHO THIS ROLE FITS
US teams maintaining PHP applications and services
Your PHP system has recurring feature and maintenance work requiring familiarity with its framework and runtime.
What stays with your team
Your team owns architectural decisions, accounts and production releases. Legacy upgrades should be scoped before timing or cost commitments.
THE WORK TO DELEGATE
What you can delegate.
- Maintain application business logic
- Build API integrations
- Update validation and forms
- Investigate database and runtime issues
- Add regression tests for changed behavior
Match your tools and workflow

Share application age, framework, upgrade plans and technical review process.
Include your monthly budget, required US-hours overlap and the person who will review the work.

What you should be able to review.
Use these examples to agree deliverables and review standards for your workflow.

Where a person adds value alongside automation
AI can suggest code changes. A developer must account for legacy behavior, framework conventions and compatibility in the real application.
Start with the work your tools leave unresolved. The remaining workload should justify a dedicated full-time hire.

Find the right person.
Suggested assessment: Use a bounded feature in representative code. Assess validation, database access and regression checks.
Make the interview useful
Discuss a representative task, ask how the candidate handles uncertainty, and agree what good output looks like. Use sanitized examples rather than live credentials or sensitive customer data.

Start with a manageable scope.
Suggested priorities to agree with your hire, adapted to your systems and expectations.
Start with a bounded assignment: Application patch with behavior documented. Review it together before expanding responsibility.
Set a recurring review for regression tests for affected workflows. Keep an escalation list for items the hire cannot resolve.
A paid trial, with clear terms
The current offer is a paid one-week trial, credited toward your first month if you continue. Confirm the trial price, scope and continuation terms before starting.
Agree the complete quote
Confirm the role, working hours, extras, payment schedule, notice requirements and replacement arrangements in writing before you commit. A published range is a budget guide, not your final quote.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Before you decide.
Clarify the working arrangement before you commit. If your scope spans several roles, we can help you decide where to start.
Talk through my requirements ↗Should I hire PHP, Laravel or WordPress expertise?
Choose the specific environment dominating your workload. General PHP experience is useful but does not automatically establish deep Laravel application or WordPress platform experience.
How soon can someone start?
Timing depends on skills, seniority, working hours and candidate availability. We confirm the expected shortlist timeline after reviewing your brief.
Who supports the employment and office setup?
Your Remote Staff is operated by Salt Technologies. Staff work from the managed Pune office, with recruitment, standard hardware, IT, HR, payroll, attendance and replacement support. You direct daily work.
