FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What back end languages and frameworks do your developers specialise in?
Our back end bench covers: Node.js (Express, Fastify, NestJS), Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), Java (Spring Boot), .NET (C# ASP.NET Core), and Go. For databases, we cover PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and cloud-managed services (RDS, Cloud Spanner, Cosmos DB). We always match language experience to your existing or target stack, we do not place Node.js developers on Java projects.
Can back end developers work on existing legacy codebases?
Yes, experience with legacy system maintenance, modernisation, and incremental refactoring is part of our technical screening. We specifically assess whether candidates have experience working within constraints (existing code, data models, team conventions) as opposed to only greenfield development. Legacy system experience is a genuine skill that not all developers have.
How do you verify back end performance and scalability experience?
During technical assessment, we ask candidates to describe systems they have built that handled significant load, the data volumes, request rates, and scaling strategies they used. We look for specific numbers (concurrent users, requests per second, data volumes) rather than vague claims. We also ask about incidents they have responded to and what they learned, real production experience surfaces quickly in this conversation.
Can we hire a back end developer who can also manage DevOps?
Many of our senior back end engineers have strong DevOps overlap, CI/CD pipeline management, Docker/Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and IaC. We call these profiles "back end + platform" engineers, and they are in high demand. They command a premium (typically £600–£800/day) but can eliminate the need for a separate DevOps contractor in smaller teams. We will recommend based on your actual infrastructure complexity.
