Hire Backend Developers
Who Build for Scale

Add Node.js, Python, or Go engineers to your team who understand system design, API architecture, and databases well enough to make the right call when trade-offs matter.

What Our Backend
Developers Know

Our backend engineers are strong on fundamentals: data modelling, API design, concurrency, and deployment. They write code that is easy to reason about and safe to change.

Node.js & Express / Fastify

REST and GraphQL APIs, WebSocket services, event-driven architectures with message queues. Strong understanding of the Node.js event loop and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask)

Web APIs, data processing pipelines, async services, and ML model serving. Comfortable with both synchronous Django apps and high-throughput async FastAPI services.

Databases (SQL & NoSQL)

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch. Schema design, query optimisation, indexing strategies, and replication for high-availability setups.

Microservices & Event-Driven

Service decomposition, Kafka and RabbitMQ, API gateways, distributed tracing, and circuit breakers. They understand when microservices help and when they add unnecessary complexity.

Security & Auth

JWT, OAuth 2.0, RBAC, rate limiting, input validation, and OWASP Top 10 awareness. They treat security as a first-class concern, not an afterthought at the end of a sprint.

Cloud & Infrastructure

AWS, GCP, and Azure deployment. Docker, Kubernetes basics, serverless functions, CI/CD pipelines. They can deploy and maintain what they build without handing it off to a separate ops team.

Pick the Model
That Fits Your Team

We offer three ways to work with our backend developers. All include a technical interview, onboarding support, and our 90-day guarantee.

Part-Time (20 hrs/week)

Ideal when you need a senior backend engineer to review architecture, implement specific APIs, or provide ongoing support without the cost of a full-time hire.

Fixed 20 hours per week
Your timezone overlap guaranteed
Direct Slack or Teams access
Monthly rolling contract

Full-Time (40 hrs/week)

A dedicated backend engineer embedded in your team. They own their services end to end, participate in design discussions, and are accountable for what goes into production.

Full 40 hours, five days a week
Dedicated to your project only
Same-day response during work hours
Monthly or quarterly contracts

Project-Based

A fixed-scope backend engagement: an API, a data layer, a migration, or a performance overhaul. Clear deliverables, agreed timeline, and IP handed over on completion.

Fixed scope and price
Milestone-based delivery
Source code and IP handed over
Optional 3-month support period

From Conversation
to First Commit

Most clients have a backend developer contributing to their codebase within a week of the initial call. The process is straightforward by design.

Share Your Requirements

Tell us your tech stack, the nature of the backend work, team size, and timezone needs. A quick 20-minute call usually gives us everything we need.

Receive Matched Profiles

Within 24 hours we send two or three profiles of engineers whose skills and experience match your requirements. You choose who to interview.

Technical Interview

You run the interview in whatever format suits you. System design, coding challenge, code review. We help you tailor the format if needed.

Onboard and Start

We handle contracts and compliance. The developer sets up their environment, reads your architecture docs, and is ready to contribute from day one.

Things People
Usually Ask

What seniority levels do you offer for backend developers?

We place mid-level (3 to 5 years), senior (5 to 8 years), and staff-level (8+ years) engineers. Most of our placements are at senior level. We do not place junior developers for dedicated hire because the onboarding overhead rarely makes sense for the client.

Can your developers handle both API development and database design?

Yes. Our backend engineers are full-stack on the server side, meaning they can design schemas, write migrations, build APIs, set up caching layers, and configure deployment. They do not need to be paired with a separate DBA for standard projects.

Do you have experience with existing large codebases?

Yes. Many of our developers have joined existing teams with large, mature codebases. They are used to reading unfamiliar code, understanding architecture through documentation and code review, and contributing without breaking existing functionality.

How do you handle code quality and standards?

Our developers adapt to your team's conventions: your linting rules, PR review process, branching strategy, and documentation standards. If you do not have standards yet, they are experienced enough to suggest good ones.

What if I need both backend and frontend covered?

We can place multiple developers across different specialisations and manage them as a coordinated team. Many of our clients run with one backend developer and one frontend developer placed through us, working together on the same product.
