Engage the way the work needs
- Full-time on your teamAn engineer who works with you every day, in your repository, your tickets and your standups. They take work from your backlog like anyone else on the team.
- Part-timeA share of an engineer's week for work that does not need a full-time seat, such as keeping an integration running or a steady flow of smaller changes.
- For a sprintAn engineer or two for a defined piece of work: a feature, a migration step, an audit. The scope is agreed up front and the work is handed back at the end.
- For the long termA dedicated team that grows with your roadmap. The same engineers stay on your product, so what they learn about it stays with you.
How we vet developers
Four stages, before anyone joins your work. You meet the people we propose before anything is signed.
- Portfolio & experience reviewRelevant projects, technical depth and hands-on experience are reviewed first.
- Technical assessmentA practical task tests code quality, problem-solving and the stack the project uses.
- Quality & team reviewSenior engineers review the work for implementation quality, communication and collaboration.
- Final approvalConfirmed against the project's requirements and Backendz's quality standards before joining a team.
Hiring through Backendz: questions we are asked
How do you vet the developers?
Every engineer passes four stages before joining a project. We review their portfolio and experience, set a practical technical task in the stack your project uses, have senior engineers review their code quality and communication, and give final approval against your project's requirements.
How quickly can a developer start?
Usually within days. Once we have agreed the role and the stack, we match vetted engineers to it and they join your tools and standups, with most projects reaching working software within the first month.
Where are the developers based?
Our engineers are in the UK and South Asia, managed under one UK company in London. You deal with that company, and it is accountable for the work.
Who owns the code they write?
You do. Backendz transfers ownership of the code and IP to you under the contract, with no licence fees.
Can we hire a developer part-time or for a short piece of work?
Yes. Engineers can join full-time or part-time, for a single sprint or for the long term, and the arrangement can change as your work does.
What contract do we sign?
A contract with Backendz, a UK-registered company, governed by English law. It covers the work, the engineers on it and the transfer of code ownership to you.
