What they do
Day to day.
- Design and version APIs other teams build against
- Own database schema, indexes and query performance
- Build integrations that survive third-party outages
- Handle background jobs, queues and retries properly

Screening
How we actually test them.
Not algorithm puzzles. Real tasks from the work they'd actually do.
- 01Optimising a deliberately slow query, explaining the plan
- 02Designing retry and idempotency for a flaky third-party API
- 03Reviewing code with a subtle race condition
- 04Explaining how they'd debug a memory leak in production
You then interview every candidate yourself. Nobody joins your team without your approval.
How it works
The terms.
Monthly rolling
One month's notice either way. No annual lock-in and no severance.
You interview
We pre-vet; you make the final call. Nobody joins your team without your approval.
Replacement guarantee
If the fit is wrong, we replace them within a week at our cost.
Your process
They work in your repo, your board, your standups. No account manager in between.
IP is yours
Assignment in the contract. They commit directly to your repository.
Equipment included
Hardware, tooling and licences covered in the rate.
Domain experience
Sectors they've worked in.
Most do. We'll match to whichever framework you run — NestJS, Express or Fastify — rather than sending someone who'd rather rewrite it in their preference.
Yes. We vet on reading unfamiliar code, because most backend work is extending something that already exists.
Schema design, indexing and query optimisation are part of the screening. A backend developer who can't read a query plan isn't a senior backend developer.
Other roles
Often hired together.
