AI-fluent by default
Every candidate is screened for how they actually work with AI — not just whether they’ve used it. We match you to the exact AI-driven workflows your team relies on.
How to hire your Backend Engineer
1
Open your position
Post your role risk-free. You won’t pay until you make a hire.
2
Review candidates in 48 hours
We match you with senior, vetted candidates who’ve actively expressed interest in your role — interviews, not résumés.
3
Hire — and keep them
We handle compliance, payments, and equipment. You control comp with our cost-plus model, so your best people stay.
Our talent works across Latin America — Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and beyond — on US business hours. Most of the region sits within a few hours of US Eastern time, so you get a full workday of overlap: standups, pairing, and code review happen in real time, not overnight.
And they communicate like teammates, not vendors — fluent, professional English and a startup-ready working style.

What do Backend Engineers do?
Backend Engineers build the server-side systems your product runs on — APIs, databases, and the business logic behind every feature. They design for scale and reliability: fast queries, clean data models, and services that stay up under load. Increasingly, they also wire in LLM and third-party APIs, so backend work now spans core infrastructure and the AI features built on top of it.
Core responsibilities
Design and build APIs, services, and data models
Optimize database queries and system performance for scale
Integrate third-party and LLM APIs
Own reliability — testing, observability, and deployment
Partner with frontend and product to ship features end to end
