Senior PHP engineers. No middlemen.

Skyhawk Labs is a senior team of PHP engineers — remote-first, based in Utah, and working with businesses everywhere. When you hire us, you get experienced engineers: no account managers, no project coordinators, no junior team behind the curtain. You talk directly with the engineers working on your code, and the same engineer stays with your project from start to finish.

PHP is where we grew up

Our PHP engineers each have 20+ years building and maintaining PHP applications — much of it in CakePHP, across every version a business could still be running. Our database expertise covers MySQL and Postgres: the schemas, indexes, and backups that most PHP shops treat as an afterthought.

That history is why we do rescue work. We've read enough decade-old code to know that "old" doesn't mean "bad" — it means the person who understood it left, and nobody took their place. We take their place.

Why we'll never abandon your app

The reason your app needs rescuing is that one developer disappeared. We've built our whole service around not repeating that: everything we touch goes into version control, gets documented, and gets tested backups — so no single person, including any of us, is ever a point of failure again. And you'll always be one call away from an engineer who actually knows your code.
