Backend Developer assigned to your roadmap.
A Backend Developer builds the services, APIs and data access your product runs on. The work is mostly invisible to users and entirely visible the moment it breaks.
Assigned under one service agreement with a minimum monthly capacity in hours, run by a service delivery manager in Chiang Mai, Thailand — five hours ahead of Northern Europe.
This role is delivered as part of our software development services. Take the role on its own, or the whole discipline as one delivery team.
What a Backend Developer does on an outsourced software development team.
Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team’s.
Backend Developer skills and technology we assign for
-
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.
Seniority levels we assign.
Junior through principal. Most product teams get the best value from a mid or senior engineer who can make schema decisions without escalating. Seniority is one of the inputs in how the monthly fee is built.
When a Backend Developer is the right assignment.
Most engagements start here, because backend capacity is usually the first constraint a growing roadmap hits. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside a Frontend Developer or a Full Stack Developer. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. The work is delivered as part of outsource software development services at Azendo.
Questions about assigning a Backend Developer.
Can a backend developer work in our existing codebase?
That is the normal case. Most assignments start in a codebase built by someone else, and the first week is spent reading it rather than writing.
Do you work with legacy stacks?
Yes. PHP, older .NET and Java estates are common. We will tell you honestly if a stack is outside what we can cover well.
Add backend developer capacity to your roadmap.
Tell us the scope and the stack. We come back with the profile, the capacity and what the first month looks like, or you can talk to a service delivery manager first.
