AI-driven development
We build and extend Laravel applications using AI coding agents, with senior engineers setting the architecture, reviewing every change and owning quality.
Laravel services
Hire experienced Laravel developers
Need more Laravel capacity without a six-month hiring process? Our engineers join your team, work in your repositories and tools, and use AI coding agents responsibly to get more done in every sprint.
Laravel specialists
Laravel is all we do. Our engineers know the framework, its ecosystem and its upgrade path inside out.
AI-assisted by default
Engineers use AI coding agents with clear rules and review, so they deliver more without lowering the bar.
Part of your team
Your Slack, your Jira or Linear, your Git workflow and your stand-ups. We adapt to how you work.
Senior oversight included
A senior engineer reviews our developers' work and is on hand for architecture questions.
When hiring Laravel developers through an agency makes sense
Hiring a permanent Laravel developer in the UK takes months and costs a recruitment fee before anyone writes a line of code. Freelancers can be quicker, but they come and go, and you carry the risk if they disappear mid-project.
Adding engineers from a Laravel specialist sits between the two. You get experienced people quickly, on a flexible contract, with a company behind them that guarantees cover, quality and continuity.
It works best when you:
- have a roadmap that needs more hands than your team has;
- need specific Laravel skills, such as upgrades, queues, Filament or the AI SDK, for a few months;
- have lost a developer and need someone to keep things running while you rehire;
- want to try AI-assisted development with people who already do it every day.
What you get from a Larasoft engineer
Every engineer we place is a Laravel specialist who works the way modern Laravel teams work: tests with Pest or PHPUnit, static analysis with Larastan, consistent style with Pint, and small, reviewable pull requests.
They also use AI coding agents in a disciplined way. Agents draft code and tests; the engineer reviews, refines and takes responsibility for every change. A senior Larasoft engineer reviews their work too, so you get a second pair of experienced eyes without paying for one.
Dedicated developers or a delivery team?
If you want engineers who take direction from your own product or tech lead, this service is the right fit. If you would rather hand over a project and get working software back, our AI-driven development service gives you a managed team with fixed-price milestones instead.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a Laravel developer through Larasoft?
£20 per hour for a Laravel engineer and £25 per hour for a senior engineer, excluding VAT. Time is tracked and invoiced monthly. There are no recruitment fees and you only pay for the hours worked.
Where are your developers based?
Larasoft is a UK company and engagements are managed from the UK, in UK hours. Our engineering team includes vetted developers working remotely. We tell you exactly who is working on your project and where they are based.
Can we interview the developer first?
Yes. You meet the engineer before the engagement starts, and you can begin with a short engagement to judge the fit.
Do your developers use AI tools on our code?
Only with your agreement. We agree which AI tools may be used, under what terms and with what review process, before we start. If your policy rules out AI tools, we work without them.
What is the minimum engagement?
There is no fixed minimum, but most engagements are at least two days a week for a month, so the engineer can get to know your codebase.
