Hiring Profile for This Role
What to expect when filling this position
Why This Hire Matters
Marketplace companies need to balance supply and demand sides while managing trust, payments, and logistics. Modern PHP (Laravel, Symfony) developers are a different breed from legacy WordPress/CodeIgniter developers — conflating them leads to bad hires. Mumbai's talent moves fast — the best candidates typically have 2-3 active offers within 10 days of entering the market a principal-level mis-hire can set an organization's technical direction back by years — the blast radius of a wrong decision at this level is enormous
Market Reality
The php developer talent pool in India is large but shrinking in premium segments. Mumbai is India's commercial capital with aggressive talent competition. Average time-to-close for principal profiles: 45-75 days. Candidates at this level typically juggle 2-3 carefully considered offers, often with retention packages from current employers.
