For most backend searches we deliver a qualified shortlist within 48 hours. Timelines vary with role complexity and interview availability, but our goal is always speed without sacrificing quality.
What skills do you screen Backend Developers for?+
We vet for hands-on experience with server-side languages, RESTful and GraphQL API design, database design (SQL and NoSQL), caching, and system scalability.
What kinds of projects can your backend developers support?+
From new API development and microservices to database optimization and scalability improvements - on contract, contract-to-hire or direct-hire terms, on-site, hybrid or remote.
What's the difference between a Backend Developer and a DevOps Engineer?+
Backend Developers build the application logic, APIs and data layer, while DevOps Engineers focus on deployment pipelines, infrastructure and operational reliability. We help you define the exact scope and hire the right fit.
