Hire a backend developer without paying $140K+ a year. Get pre-vetted, AI-fluent backend developers starting at $5K per month. We handle sourcing, vetting, payroll, and compliance so you can ship API work faster, clear your engineering backlog, and add server-side capacity without a six-month search.
When you need backend help, the usual route is a three to six month search, recruiter fees, and your senior engineers spending sprint time interviewing instead of shipping. Meanwhile API work stalls, technical debt compounds, and every new feature waits on the same two overloaded people. Our model closes that gap by delivering a vetted backend developer in weeks, ready to pull tickets from your first sprint together.
Every candidate goes through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation on production-style problems, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment before you see a single profile. When you hire a backend developer through us, they are embedded in your repos, ticketing system, and deployment workflow within 30 days, and we carry the employment contract, payroll, and compliance so there is no admin on your side.
A backend developer builds and maintains the server-side logic behind your product, the APIs, databases, and services users never see but always depend on. A good one gives your senior engineers their focus back.
The trigger is usually the same, roadmap items keep slipping because every server-side change routes through one or two overloaded engineers.
Your frontend team is blocked waiting on API endpoints that keep getting pushed to next sprint
Flaky background jobs and accumulated technical debt are eating time you meant to spend on new features
Your senior engineers spend more hours firefighting production issues than making architecture decisions
Integration work is piling up, payments, CRMs, webhooks, and nobody owns any of it end to end
We only work with the top 5% of candidates when companies hire backend developer through us. Every candidate is skills-tested on the exact work this role does, assessed for AI fluency on real tasks, and scored with our proprietary Remote Readiness Score — built from 1,000+ successful remote hires — before they reach your team.
Reads an unfamiliar codebase and ships a safe, tested first change within days, not weeks
Designs APIs and data models for the next two years of load, beyond the current sprint
Uses AI coding tools to move fast on boilerplate while still reviewing every line they ship
Explains trade-offs clearly in writing, so decisions happen async instead of in another meeting
You share job description, core requirements & key skills we should screen for.
We run skills-based testing and manual screening, then deliver 3-5 candidates.
We confirm each candidate is interested in your role & aligned with your company.
You interview each candidate and, if needed, run a 1-2 hour test project.
We handle identity verification, NDA, compliant contracts & full payroll setup.
Talent is embedded into your team and works like any other team member.
Hiring a backend developer locally typically costs $12,000 to $15,000 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time backend developer working directly inside your codebase, ticketing system, and deployment pipeline.
We employ your developer, manage the contract, payroll, benefits, and HR admin, and stay involved after placement. When you hire a backend developer this way, you get consistent full-time capacity that compounds, one engineer who knows your systems deeply instead of a rotating cast of contractors.
You get a rigorously tested engineer, a monthly cost your budget can actually absorb, and steady delivery on the services your product runs on. Hire a backend developer and start clearing the queue.
