Six backend specialisms, each staffed by engineers who have taken that stack to production and operated it afterwards.
We screen for production judgement, not framework trivia, alongside our API and data teams.
Schema decisions made with the read patterns in mind, because that is what you live with later.
Retries, idempotency and timeouts treated as requirements rather than incident follow-ups.
Structured logs, traces and metrics added while building, not during the outage.
Knowing what belongs in a request cycle and what should never have been synchronous.
Authn, authz, secrets and input handling done correctly the first time.
Tests at the boundaries that catch regressions without freezing the design.
One call about your stack, your load and your roadmap tells you the right team shape, seniority mix and rate range. Profiles follow within 24 hours.
