Hire Magento developers in India, without opening an entity
Running a Magento store that needs constant work? Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform and local HR support let you build a full-time Magento team in India overnight. You own hiring, salaries, and day-to-day management. We handle payroll, compliance, and retention.
How to hire Magento developers
in India
Magento (now Adobe Commerce) is powerful, and it is never really finished. Security patches land every quarter, extensions break after upgrades, and every custom module adds something someone has to maintain. Hand that to a rotating cast of agency developers and you pay each new one to relearn your store.
So merchants that hire Magento developers full-time get one person who knows the modules, the integrations, and the history behind every workaround. Kaamwork makes that possible in India without a legal entity or a local recruiting team. Your dedicated Magento developer works as your employee, and typically costs around a third of an equivalent US salary.
When you hire Magento developers in India through Kaamwork, you get:
Engineers across Magento 2, Adobe Commerce, Hyva, and the wider PHP ecosystem
Salary savings of up to 65% compared with an equivalent hire in the US
Time zone overlap arranged around your working hours, not against them
Scale from one dedicated developer to a full team
Full-time employees who work as an extension of your team, not a vendor bench
What does a Magento developer do?
A Magento developer builds and maintains the custom code, themes, and integrations behind a Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce store. Here is what a full-time Magento developer on a Kaamwork team typically owns.
Custom modules
Builds modules using plugins, observers, and service contracts.
Themes and front end
Works on Luma or Hyva themes and checkout UI.
Extensions and integrations
Connects ERP, PIM, payment, and shipping systems.
Upgrades and patches
Applies 2.4.x releases and security patches without breaking the store.
Performance
Tunes Varnish, Redis, indexing, and search for faster pages.
Pricing and checkout
Handles catalog rules, cart rules, and checkout customizations.
B2B features
Sets up company accounts, quotes, and shared catalogs on Adobe Commerce.
Migrations
Moves stores from Magento 1, or between Magento and other platforms.
Why hire Magento developers in India
India has a large pool of Magento engineers, many with years of Adobe Commerce work for global retailers.
Deepest talent pool
India produces the highest number of STEM graduates each year, and a young, remote-ready workforce that has built and supported Magento stores for merchants worldwide.
Material savings
Comparable Magento talent typically costs about a third of an equivalent US salary. And you skip the overhead of your own legal entity, which runs about 35% on top of total salary cost.
Risk, handled
Time zone overlap, local tax and labor-law compliance, and retention are the usual friction points. Kaamwork’s EOR and local HR model takes them off your plate.
How to hire a Magento developer through Kaamwork
Five steps from job requirement to an onboarded, full-time Magento developer in India.
Share your Magento requirement
- Open Source or Adobe Commerce, Luma or Hyva, the extensions you run, seniority, and time zone overlap.
Source and shortlist
- Kaamwork’s network of proven recruiters can share relevant Magento developer profiles within 24 hours, matched to the stack and seniority you asked for.
Interview and decide
- You run the interviews and make the offer. The hiring call is always yours.
Onboard in days
- Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform onboards your new hire with your negotiated salary and title. No entity, no months of setup.
Payroll, benefits, retention

You keep 100% of the hiring decision. Kaamwork carries the entity, the compliance, and the local HR relationship.
Magento developer cost to hire
How much does it cost to hire a Magento developer in India? With Kaamwork, you pay the developer’s salary plus a flat monthly EOR fee. No entity, no setup bill.
Here is how that compares with opening your own Indian entity. Salary depends on seniority and skill set, whether that is module work, a Hyva front end, or Adobe Commerce Cloud, so talk to us for a benchmark on your specific role.
Add-ons such as laptops, medical insurance, benefits, offsites, and detailed background checks are charged at actual cost, with no markup, on top of salary and the monthly fee.
