Too few of these roles publish a salary for a reliable benchmark. Where a figure is quoted it appears on the listing, and contract day rates are annualised so they can be compared against permanent salaries.
On working pattern, 100% are fully remote. By seniority, 100% at lead or principal level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for PHP in this slice most often ask for it alongside Python, MySQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Ruby and JavaScript. That co-occurrence is counted from the live listings on this page, not from a fixed list, so it moves with the market.
