About This Role

We are looking for a Laravel developer for our India-based remote team on a contractor basis. Build Laravel apps, APIs and Livewire interfaces for clients.

Role overview

You’ll own Laravel applications end to end for client projects: clean Eloquent models, well-designed APIs, reliable queued work, and server-rendered interfaces that stay fast without a heavy frontend build. We’re a remote-first team, so clear communication and solid engineering habits matter as much as raw output.

What you’ll work on

• Building and evolving Laravel applications and REST APIs
• Interactive server-rendered UI with Blade and Livewire, or HTMX where it fits better
• Eloquent models, migrations and query patterns designed for performance
• Queued jobs, scheduled tasks and event-driven workflows
• Test coverage with Pest or PHPUnit, and CI-friendly development

How we work

• Remote-first, async communication, long stretches of focused work
• PR-based workflow with code review
• AI tooling in the loop by default — we expect you to use it, and to catch what it gets wrong
• Pragmatic documentation: decisions, APIs and handover notes

How we engage you

Be clear on this before you apply. This is an independent contractor engagement, not employment:

• Initial six-month term, renewable after review
• You invoice us monthly and are paid by bank transfer in INR
• You are responsible for your own income tax, professional tax and GST where applicable
• You provide your own laptop, internet and development tooling
• No PF, gratuity, paid leave or medical insurance — the rate reflects that

If that structure doesn’t suit you, we’d rather you knew now than after an interview.

• Short intro call (experience + role fit)
• Small take-home or live exercise (scoped and time-boxed)
• Final conversation (ways of working + offer)

Requirements

• 2-5 years of professional experience building and shipping web applications
• Strong PHP (8.4 or 8.5) and Laravel 13 — we build on current versions, not legacy ones
• Solid Eloquent skills: relationships, eager loading, migrations, and avoiding N+1 queries
• Experience designing REST APIs, with Sanctum or Passport for authentication
• Queues, jobs and scheduled tasks (Horizon, Redis) in production
• Blade with Livewire, or HTMX (2.x) — interactive server-rendered UI without a heavy SPA
• MySQL or PostgreSQL and practical database design: schema modelling, indexing, query tuning
• Writing tests (Pest or PHPUnit) and working comfortably in CI pipelines
• Security fundamentals: authentication, authorization, OWASP Top 10
• Git and PR-based collaboration, including reviewing other people’s code
• Confident daily use of AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT — and the judgement to review, test and correct what they produce
• Clear written English; most of our collaboration is async and in writing
• Your own laptop, reliable high-speed internet and a workable home setup — we do not ship hardware
• Experience with Filament, Inertia, or third-party and payment integrations is a plus

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain Laravel applications, REST APIs and admin panels
• Build interactive server-rendered interfaces with Blade and Livewire or HTMX
• Design and optimise Eloquent models, migrations and query patterns
• Implement queued jobs, scheduled tasks and event-driven workflows
• Write feature and unit tests, and take part in code reviews
• Improve performance, observability and reliability of what you ship
• Use AI tooling to move faster, while staying accountable for correctness and qualityIntegrate third‑party services, payment providers and client systems
• Work with UK‑based clients and teams across time zones
• Keep implementation notes and API documentation current
• Fully remote — work from anywhere in India
• Flexible hours arranged around project needs rather than fixed shifts
• Six‑month renewable contract, reviewed for renewal and rate increase on performance
• Paid monthly in INR by direct bank transfer against your invoice
• International client work — UK and European projects, not domestic body‑shopping
• AI‑assisted development is encouraged, not restricted
• Real ownership: you ship features end to end instead of picking tickets off a queue
• Direct access to the technical lead, with no management layers in between
• Rate is open to discussion for candidates who are clearly stronger than the band
