Laravel developer for Ireland
You are an Irish SaaS founder or product team who needs a senior Laravel engineer for an MVP, subscription billing, dashboards, or integrations, without the day rate and hiring timeline of a permanent Dublin engineer. I work remotely from Spain, one hour ahead of Ireland, with near-full overlap across your working day.
A good fit for Enterprise Ireland-backed startups and established Irish product teams who need senior Laravel work delivered reliably, whether that is a new build, augmenting an existing team, or taking over a stalled project.
Multinationals in Dublin absorb most local senior talent and push day rates up. I offer the same level of engineering as a remote engagement, without the wait for a contractor to become available.
Enterprise Ireland and NDRC-backed founders often have a fixed window to reach a working product. I build the MVP core, not a prototype that needs rebuilding once real users arrive.
Irish SaaS products commonly bill through Stripe. I build subscription logic with Laravel Cashier that handles trials, plan changes, and failed renewals correctly, not just the happy path.
Your in-house team is stretched on one workstream. I plug in as a senior Laravel engineer on a defined piece of work, coordinate with your team, and hand back clean, documented code.
Product and infrastructure decisions need to account for GDPR and where customer data is hosted. I build with EU data residency and GDPR requirements in mind from the start, not retrofitted later.
No tests, no documentation, decisions nobody can explain. I take over an existing Laravel project, document what exists, and make it safe for your team to build on again.
MVP builds, API and dashboard development, and integrations delivered by one senior engineer who owns the outcome, not a rotating team.
Plans, trials, proration, and dunning with Laravel Cashier, tested against real webhook events rather than only the demo purchase.
Join an existing sprint cadence, work against your backlog, and communicate through your existing tools, whether that is Slack, Linear, or Jira.
Spain and Ireland are both EU member states, so there is no work permit or visa process to manage before work starts.
Tests on the paths that matter and written documentation, so your team is never dependent on one contractor to keep moving.
Each stage is scoped before it starts, whether you need a one-off build or ongoing capacity alongside your team.
We cover your product, your Stripe or billing model if relevant, and whether you need a new build, team augmentation, or a takeover of existing code.
For a new engagement, I map the work into a fixed first phase. For a takeover, I audit the existing codebase before committing to changes.
Work happens on a branch or in your sprint cadence, with daily overlap across Irish working hours from CET, one hour ahead.
You get documentation and a clean handover, or we continue with a monthly capacity arrangement if you need ongoing senior Laravel work.

from €2,500 per month
Reserved senior capacity to keep shipping features, fixes, and integrations once the product is live.
from €480 per day
Team augmentation billed by the day, for short, defined pieces of work alongside your in-house team.

Your site is slow, updates break things, or customers cannot complete checkout. I find the real cause, fix the critical path, and leave you with a site your team can safely operate.
Turn a product idea or an unfinished platform into software people can actually use and pay for — including subscriptions, onboarding, dashboards, integrations, and reliable releases.
Reduce repetitive work with focused tools and workflows: process documents, prepare answers, connect systems, or give your team faster access to internal knowledge.
Keep the business running while an old PHP, Laravel, or WordPress system is made safer and easier to change. Improvements are delivered in controlled steps, not as a risky big-bang rewrite.
For businesses that need someone to know the system and take care of it every month: updates, monitoring, fixes, and small improvements without briefing a new contractor each time.

I work remotely from Spain, not from an Irish office. Spain is one hour ahead of Ireland, so there is near-full overlap across a normal working day. For a product team working through Git, video calls, and a shared backlog, this makes no practical difference to delivery.
Senior Laravel contractors in Dublin are in short supply, partly because multinationals absorb much of the local talent, and day rates reflect that scarcity. Working remotely from Spain, I can offer the same level of senior engineering without the Dublin market premium or the wait for availability.
Yes, this is EU-to-EU. Spain and Ireland are both EU member states, so there is no visa or work permit process for either side to manage. Contracting works the same way as hiring any other EU-based service provider.
Yes. Stripe is the common billing choice for Irish SaaS products, and I build subscription logic with Laravel Cashier that handles plans, trials, proration, and failed renewals, not just the demo checkout.
You do. Code lives in your repository from day one, and everything is documented and handed over. There is no dependency on me continuing beyond the engagement you choose.
Yes. A lot of this work is joining an existing Irish team on a defined piece of work: a feature, a billing rebuild, or an integration, working inside your sprint cadence and tools rather than as a separate silo.
Spain runs on CET, one hour ahead of Ireland. In practice that means a normal Irish working day overlaps almost entirely with my working day, so standups, reviews, and pairing sessions happen live rather than across a large time difference.
Share what you are building, your billing model if relevant, and whether you need a new build, a takeover, or team augmentation. I read every message and reply personally, usually within one business day.
