What a Backend Developer does on an outsourced software development team.

Day to day, they pick up tickets from your backlog, open pull requests against your repositories and join your standups. Your engineers review their code, and the architecture calls stay with you.

Backend Developer skills and technologies

  • Designing and building REST and GraphQL APIs that your frontend and third parties consume.

  • Database schema design, query performance and migrations that run without downtime.

  • Service decomposition, background jobs, queues and the integration work that connects your product to everything around it.

  • Writing the integration tests that stop a schema change breaking three services downstream.

  • Reviewing pull requests from your own team where you want a second pair of eyes on the data layer.

Backend Developer seniority levels.

Junior to principal. Most product teams get the best value from a mid-level or senior engineer who can make schema decisions on their own. Seniority is one of the inputs into how the monthly fee is built.

When your team needs a Backend Developer.

Most teams start here, because backend capacity is usually the first thing a growing roadmap runs short of. It is most often paired with a frontend or full stack developer. Backend developers join as part of software development outsourcing at Azendo.

What we look for in a dedicated Backend Developer.

We look for backend developers who read a schema before they change it and think about the next migration while writing this one. Strong SQL matters as much as the language. So does the patience to trace a slow endpoint back to the query behind it.

Questions about adding a Backend Developer to your team.

Can a backend developer work in our existing codebase?

Yes, that's the normal case. Most teams join a codebase someone else built, and the first week goes into reading it before writing.

Do you work with older stacks?

Yes. PHP, older .NET and Java estates are common, and we match the developer to the stack you run.
