Hired and Working in One Week

Most staffing takes months because generalist recruiters fumble role-specific vetting. Our technical recruiters have deep experience in your vertical and industry, and we test for the exact skills the job actually needs.

Signs You Need a Backend Engineer

If any of these sound familiar, your back-end is becoming a bottleneck.

1

Your API Is Held Together With Duct Tape

  • Endpoints written by three different people with three different conventions
  • No real authentication layer, just a token someone hard-coded
  • Every new feature breaks something else in production
2

Your Database Queries Are Getting Slow

  • Pages that used to load instantly now take 4 seconds
  • Nobody on the team knows how to read an EXPLAIN plan
  • You added an index that made things worse and never followed up
3

Integrations Keep Falling Over Silently

  • Stripe webhooks fail and nobody notices until the customer emails
  • Background jobs die and the queue keeps growing
  • Logs and monitoring exist but nobody is actually watching them

Backend Engineer FAQ

What languages and stacks do they work in?
Most of our Backend Engineers work in Node, Python, or Go, with PostgreSQL or MongoDB. If your stack is more specific, like Ruby on Rails, Java Spring, or .NET, we match for it before sending a profile.
Can they own a feature end to end, from API design to deploy?
Yes. Every Backend Engineer we place can take a feature spec, design the API and schema, write the code, write tests, and ship it to production. They work the way a senior engineer on your team would.
What time zone do they work?
Our placements are nearshore in Colombia and other LATAM countries on US business hours. You communicate with them the same way you would a local remote employee, through Slack, Zoom, GitHub, whatever your team already uses. No async lag.
What is included in the $2,500 a month?
A full time Backend Engineer working 40 hours a week, dedicated to your team. We handle recruiting, vetting, payroll, HR, equipment, and free replacements. You also get a custom AI Copilot trained on your SOPs and tech stack.
What if they are not the right fit?
We replace them at no extra cost. No questions asked. We keep working until you have someone who clicks with your team and ships the way you need.
How is this different from hiring through Upwork or a dev shop?
Marketplaces hand you a list of resumes. Dev shops bill you hourly and rotate seats. We place one full time engineer dedicated to your roadmap, vetted by a recruiter with experience in your industry, with a flat monthly rate and free replacement.
