— WHY OUTSOURCE BACK-END DEVELOPMENT
Three patterns we see over and over.
Your front-end team is blocked waiting for APIs
Features sit idle while the back-end backlog grows. A dedicated developer ships endpoints so your roadmap stops stalling.
Your system breaks under load and nobody has time to fix it
Slow queries, timeouts, and outages chip at trust. A senior back-end developer profiles, optimizes, and stabilizes.
Hiring a senior back-end engineer in US is expensive and slow
Senior US back-end engineers run $160K+ and take 90+ days to hire. Nearshore gives the capability without the cost or wait.

— BACK-END TALENT PLACEMENT PROCESS
A better experience for product teams.
We built this process specifically for architecture and engineering firms. No generic intake forms, no recruiter who doesn’t understand your industry.
Tell us what you need
We talk through your stack, your architecture, the role scope, and the seniority you need.
We build your shortlist
You receive two to three vetted developers screened for your stack, system complexity, and engineering culture.
Interview and choose
Meet your candidates. Run a technical interview, pair on a system design problem, or test their fit through a take-home challenge.
Seamless team integration
Your developer gets access to your repo, cloud accounts, and tooling on day one. Our CS team checks in regularly to confirm the engagement is working.
— NEARSHORE BACK-END ADVANTAGES
Why product teams choose BetterPros administrative assistance.
01 / 03
Your talent, your management
Your developer reports to your engineering lead and works inside your sprint cycle. You manage the work directly, no project manager in the middle.
02 / 03
Vetted for system thinking, not just stack names
We screen with system design conversations, code review tests, and architecture problems. Knowing Node or Python isn’t enough to pass.
03 / 03
We handle contracts, payroll, and compliance
Zero legal exposure on your end. You manage the work, we handle everything else.
FAQs: know more about our back-end development services
What stacks do your back-end developers work with?
Our developers cover the major back-end stacks: Node.js with Express or NestJS, Python with Django, FastAPI, or Flask, Go, Ruby on Rails, Java with Spring, .NET with C#, PHP with Laravel, and Elixir with Phoenix. We confirm your exact stack during screening and match developers with hands-on production experience in it.
Do they work as part of our team or as an external vendor?
As part of your team. Your developer reports to your engineering lead, attends standups, works inside your sprint cycle, and uses your tools and processes. BetterPros is a staffing partner, not an agency that delivers projects end to end.
Can they design system architecture, not just write code?
Yes, at senior levels. Our senior and staff developers can design API contracts, propose service boundaries, lead database schema decisions, and contribute to architecture reviews. For mid-level engagements, the developer ships against an architecture your team has already defined.
Can they migrate a monolith to microservices?
Yes. Several of our senior developers have led monolith-to-microservices migrations: identifying service boundaries, extracting bounded contexts, designing inter-service contracts, and standing up event-driven communication. We can scope an incremental migration or one-time decomposition work.
Can they support AEC firms with custom backend systems?
Yes. We have developers experienced with custom backend systems for AEC firms: BIM data pipelines, Autodesk and Procore API integrations, project management workflow engines, document management systems, and custom reporting backends. If your firm runs custom backend tooling, we match developers with relevant context.
Can they handle DevOps and cloud infrastructure work?
Yes, for backend developers who work cloud-native. Our developers set up CI/CD pipelines, configure cloud infrastructure with Terraform or CDK, manage container deployments, and handle observability with Datadog or Sentry. For dedicated DevOps roles, we can place engineers focused entirely on infrastructure.
How do you handle code quality and reviews?
Your developer follows your team’s existing code review process: PR reviews, linting standards, test coverage expectations, and architecture documentation. For teams without a formal review process, we recommend setting one up before the engagement starts.
How is intellectual property and code security handled?
IP rights are assigned to your company through the contract. Code access goes through your standard provisioning (GitHub, GitLab, or your repo platform), MFA, and role-based permissions. BetterPros does not store your code or systems data on our infrastructure.
What seniority levels do you place?
We place mid-level developers (3-5 years), senior developers (5-8 years), and staff-level engineers (8+ years). Back-end work often benefits from senior placement given the system complexity. We help you scope the right seniority during the initial call.
What if the developer isn't the right fit?
We replace them at no additional cost. Back-end fit is specific: your stack, your architecture, your code style, your team’s communication. If the match isn’t right after onboarding, we find someone who fits better.
