Rules, data, authentication

Hire backend developers

The rules, data and security behind a product: APIs, business logic, user accounts and the server side that everything else depends on.

Hiring model that usually fits

Project based

A defined API or system can be scoped. A backend that keeps growing with the product suits monthly.

The backend decides whether a product can be trusted. It holds the data, enforces who can see what, handles payments and emails, and has to keep working when traffic or data grows.

A backend developer designs the API and database, writes the business rules, and sets things up so errors are logged and problems show up before customers report them.

Hire one when

  • You need an API behind a website or mobile app
  • Business rules live in spreadsheets or in people's heads
  • The current server is slow, fragile or insecure

What they do day to day

  • Design and build APIs for web and mobile apps
  • Model the database and write efficient queries
  • Handle sign-up, login, roles and permissions
  • Build the business rules: pricing, approvals, workflows
  • Connect payments, email, SMS and third-party services
  • Add logging, background jobs and scheduled tasks

What you get

  • A documented API your frontend or app can use
  • A database structure that fits the product
  • Access control that is enforced on the server
  • Error logging you can actually read

Technologies they work in

The stack depends on what you already run and who will maintain it. Open any one to see what that developer builds.

Common questions

PHP, Node.js or Python?

The one that fits your team and what the product does. If you already run one of them, we work in it.

Can you fix an existing backend?

Yes. We review the code first and tell you what state it is in before quoting new work.

Is the API documented?

Yes. You get documentation your frontend or app developers can work from.
