For companies

Hire backend engineers.

Builds the services, APIs, and systems the product runs on. We find the ones who can actually do it, and we figure out the right way to bring them to your problem.

01 / The role

What a backend engineer is

A backend engineer builds what the user does not see: the services, APIs, data models, and the systems that keep them fast and correct under load.

AI-native backend engineers reach for a model to move faster on the boilerplate and the glue, and spend their judgment on the parts that matter: correctness, latency, and design.

02 / Why it is hard

The good ones do not look good on paper

Most hiring filters on credentials and years. The thing that makes a backend engineer good does not show up there. It shows up in how they work, which means you have to watch them work to see it.

That is what we do. We watch people work instead of reading resumes, so the person we send you is calibrated on the actual job, not the interview. Sometimes that is a hire. Sometimes it is a project or a person embedded for a while. We work out the shape with you.

FAQ

Common questions

What does a backend engineer do?

They build the services, APIs, and data systems the product runs on, and keep them fast and correct.

Is this remote, and what does it pay?

Yes, it is remote and global. We hire the best person for the work wherever they are. Total compensation runs $165k to $360k depending on level and location.

Do I really need to be AI-native?

Yes. It is the one hard requirement. You should already build with AI day to day, with real taste for when to trust it and when not to. If AI coding is still a novelty to you rather than how you work, this is not the role.
