Hire vetted Joomla developers with published rates and US-hours overlap
Infyways places Joomla-only senior engineers for dedicated, part-time or hourly work on Joomla 5 and 6 — including Joomla 6.2, the latest version (released 13 October 2026). You get profiles within one business day, a paid trial, code review on every change, and a reply from a senior engineer within 12 hours.
A good fit if you are
- US small and mid-size businesses running Joomla 3, 4 or 5 with no in-house Joomla skills
- US and UK teams that need overflow Joomla developer capacity under NDA
- In-house teams that need a specialist for an upgrade, custom extension or VirtueMart work
Not a fit if you want
- A project where you want Infyways to own the full scope (see Joomla development services)
- Non-Joomla CMS work
- A 24- or 48-hour start promise
Who hires Joomla developers from Infyways
US businesses, agencies and in-house teams that need a person on their backlog — not a black-box project.
You can hire Joomla developers from Infyways as a dedicated full-time developer, a part-time developer for set hours each week, or by the hour for smaller jobs. Rates start from $25/h dedicated; hourly is $35/h with a 10-hour minimum.
US teams get 4 hours of morning overlap (9am–1pm ET). UK and EU agencies get afternoon overlap for stand-ups and code review. For a defined project instead of staffing, see Joomla development services.
Compatibility focus: Joomla 6.2 (latest, released 13 October 2026), Joomla 6.x and 5.x, with 4.4 supported and migrations from 3.x.
Our approach
Hire a Joomla developer in 3 steps
How fast you can start: reply within 12 hours, profiles within one business day, developer starts in 2–5 business days after the interview and agreed scope.
1. Send scope and time zone
Share your Joomla version, the work, hours you need and your time zone. A senior engineer replies within 12 hours.
2. Profiles, quote and interview
We send matching developer profiles and a USD quote within one business day. You interview the developer on stack and communication.
3. Paid trial, then start
Start with a paid trial task (or a trial week for dedicated). After the interview and agreed scope, the developer typically starts in 2–5 business days.

Custom templates and overrides on Cassiopeia or your design, Bootstrap 5, accessibility and Web Asset Manager work.
VirtueMart
Stores, payment and shipping plugins, checkout customisation and ERP or marketing integrations.

Vetting
How we vet Joomla developers
Every developer is assessed on real Joomla work before client placement — not generic PHP trivia. Our developers build and maintain JoomlaX extensions, so they work on Joomla code every day.
Joomla technical screen
Live exercise on components, modules or template overrides on current Joomla architecture — not multiple-choice PHP quizzes.
Code review sample
Submitted or pair-reviewed code checked for Joomla coding standards, security basics and testability.
Delivery on internal / JoomlaX work
Developers ship tasks on Infyways and JoomlaX extensions under senior review before client placement. They build and maintain JoomlaX, so they work on Joomla code every day.
Communication check
English fluency, written updates and a trial call in your US, UK or EU window before the engagement starts.
Trial
Interview and trial period
Reduce hiring risk with a short paid trial before you commit to a dedicated or part-time engagement.
- You interview the developer we propose and ask stack-specific questions.
- Optional paid trial task in your repository with code review.
- Trial week available for dedicated hires before a monthly commitment.
- If the fit is wrong after the trial, we replace the developer.
Profiles within one business day; developer starts in 2–5 business days after the interview and agreed scope.
Hours and communication
Working with US teams: hours and communication
We are based in India and plan each engagement around your morning. Overlap is 4 hours of your morning — 9am–1pm ET — with async work and written updates the rest of the day.
- 4 hours of your morning daily: 9:00am–1:00pm ET (6:00–10:00am PT) while US daylight time is on.
- Work continues while the US is offline; a written update arrives before your day starts.
- Your tools: Git, Jira or Asana, Slack (or equivalent). Daily written updates on an agreed schedule.
- A senior engineer replies within 12 hours to enquiries and client messages.
UK, EU and Australia
United Kingdom and EU
Most of the UK and Central European working day overlaps with our afternoon, so stand-ups and code review can sit in your hours. GDPR-aware handling when your site processes EU personal data.
Australia
Our morning matches your afternoon, so handovers at the end of your day are picked up straight away.
NDA and confidentiality
Hired developers who work under your brand
Placing a developer on client work? NDA by default, your repo and your standards, and no contact with your client unless you want it.
- NDA by default before we see your client code or brand assets.
- We work under your brand; no contact with your client unless you ask for it.
- Your repository, your coding standards, your project tools.
- Confidential agency clients already use this model — we do not name them.
Need full white-label delivery rather than a hired developer? See white-label Joomla services and outsource Joomla development.
Terms
Trial, replacement and code ownership
Paid trial, replacement if the fit is wrong, and clear IP assignment on every invoice.
Code ownership
You own everything we build for you. On payment of each invoice, all code, designs and documentation created for your project are assigned to you (or your client, for white-label work). We sign your NDA or ours before we see your code. We keep no rights except general know-how and our own pre-existing tools (such as JoomlaX extensions), which you get a perpetual licence to use on your site.
Dedicated engagements include a one-week paid trial. If the fit is wrong after the trial, we replace the developer.
