Backend developers
APIs, data models, queues and the jobs that run overnight. The screens can be perfect and still sit on top of the thing that is actually breaking.
Hire backend developersHire Developers
Hire developers, and decide who runs them day to day
You are short of specific people, and there is a date you have already said out loud. The doors are on the list below, and their names do not tell you how the arrangements differ. The role is only half of it. There are two things to settle. What the person does, and who runs them day to day once they start. The first is usually the easy one. The second decides whether this feels like help or like more work, and it is the one almost nobody writes down. You made the commitment, so getting it wrong lands on you rather than on a budget line. Both answers are below, side by side, in our own words. Settle both questions, then pick your door.
Two questions, in this order
Start with what the person does. Backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile app work, DevOps, QA, product design. If you already know the technology your codebase runs on, name that instead. Either route lands in the same place, because a role and a technology are two ways of giving the same first answer. Most people settle this one in a few seconds and are still stuck afterwards.
The second question is who runs this person day to day, and who you talk to when something slips. That is the one that decides whether an arrangement fits the way your team already works. Some of the four arrangements below leave you running the people inside your own process. Others put a named lead software engineer between you and the work. One hands the sprints, the standups and the reporting to us. None of them is the right answer in general. The right answer depends on whether you have somebody with the time to run a new person. Where our own people work is a fact rather than a third choice, and it is stated further down.
By discipline
What the work is, before who runs it
The names sit close together. What each one actually covers is here, so you can tell them apart.
Frontend developers
What renders in the browser, how fast it gets there, and whether a keyboard reaches it. Screen readers and older devices count as browsers here.
Hire frontend developersFull-stack developers
One person across the interface, the API and the database. The right call for a small team where a handoff between two specialists is its own piece of work.
Hire full-stack developersMobile app developers
iOS and Android, on real handsets rather than a simulator. Store submissions, push, offline behaviour, and the crashes that only show up on older handsets.
Hire mobile app developersDevOps engineers
Pipelines, environments, monitoring and the alerting that wakes somebody up. Pick this when the code is fine and getting it into production safely is the slow part.
Hire DevOps engineersQA engineers
Test coverage, automation and the regression suite that gates a merge. They find the defect before a release does, and write the test that stops it returning.
Hire QA engineersProduct designers
Research, flows, and the interface itself, drawn to the constraints your developers actually have. The output is something buildable, not a picture of a product.
Hire product designersAll of them, sorted by those two questions
The pages below sit in three groups. The first two ask the same thing two ways, so pick whichever you can already name. The third group is the second question. Each opens a page about that work, not a form.
By discipline
By technology
- React developersComponent systems and state that outgrew their first design.
- Node.js developersServices, APIs and background jobs running on the Node.js runtime.
- Python developersServices, data pipelines and the automation holding the rest together.
- PHP developersBusiness-critical PHP applications that must keep running while they change.
- Laravel developersLaravel applications, with the tests and structure the framework expects.
- WordPress developersWordPress builds and upkeep, with performance and security taken seriously.
- JavaScript developersTyped, tested JavaScript on the browser side and the server side.
By who runs the people
- Dedicated developersA retained seat, you own the technical direction.
- Dedicated teamA unit with one named lead software engineer.
- Staff augmentationCapacity inside your process, you still run them.
- Remote managementSprints, standups, review and reporting belong to us.
Where our people are, and when they are available to you
Where the people are: India. Every developer we propose, today.
Our working window: 10:00 to 19:00 IST, which is 04:30 to 13:30 UTC.
Live sync: a project coordinator can host one, or an overlap shift can be arranged on request.
That window never drifts, because it is stated in India time and in UTC. Nobody is going to be in your office. There is no local team behind a city name here. You would rather know that now than on a call.
If you need a call inside your own morning, ask. We will tell you plainly whether it can be arranged. Anything outside the published window is a request rather than a default. We agree on overlap commitments at engagement scoping, so expectations are clear from Day 1. If you came here looking for your own market, start at the locations pages. They say what we do and do not have in each one.
Four arrangements, and the two questions that separate them
Each of the four has a page of its own, and a page can only describe itself. Here they are beside each other.
| Question | Staff augmentation | Dedicated developers | Dedicated team | Remote management |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who runs the people day to day | Staff augmentationYou do. They join your standup and your code review, inside the process you already have. You set their week. | Dedicated developersYou do. It is a retained seat rather than a pool, and your own side owns the technical direction of the work. | Dedicated teamOne named lead software engineer runs the unit day to day, working to the direction you set for it. | Remote managementWe do. Sprints, standups, code review and reporting belong to us, and a delivery lead runs the week. |
| Who you talk to | Staff augmentationThe developers themselves, in your own channels and your own standup, the same way you talk to your own team. | Dedicated developersThe same people each time, not whoever is free that week. Your own technical lead hears from them directly. | Dedicated teamOne named lead software engineer, directly. Behind them is a core team assigned only to your project, with no handoffs you did not agree to. | Remote managementOne named person. When a date moves, that person tells you and owns the report that explains it. |
What happens after you pick one
Three stages, and the first one is a conversation. Nothing in it requires you to have written anything down. We typically present a shortlist within a few days of your brief. Start dates are often immediate once you select your developer. If you have a hard deadline, tell us and we will align resourcing to it.
Define need
Tell us the skills, the overlap hours and the outcomes you expect. Say what the outcome is and we will name the skills it needs. You do not need to know the difference between a database and a backend to do this. A spec is not required, and neither is the name of a framework. Describe it in your own words, and a business analysis team turns that into a buildable specification.
Curated shortlist
We present pre-vetted candidates who match your stack and culture. You interview whoever you want to interview, and skipping that is also fine.
Pilot and start
A pilot precedes scaling. You start with the people you chose, on real work, before anybody talks about adding more of them. Scaling is a second decision, taken after you have seen the work.
Who checks the work, before and after
Every developer we propose has been vetted by our own technical team first, and they come from a pool we train continuously through structured programs. That happens before a name reaches you, so the shortlist is already filtered by somebody who can read code. If our current bench does not match your requirement, we tell you that directly and recruit specifically for your role. That second sentence is the important half. A bench-only answer would be a smaller offer than the one we actually make. Both routes end with the same vetting. You still interview if you want to. Vetting is a filter in front of your own process, not a replacement for it.
After the person starts, every change goes through code review by a senior software engineer. We run GitFlow with unit tests, integration tests, and CI/CD that gates every merge. Those are four things you can ask about on a call and check once work is under way. A weak commit does not become your problem because somebody liked the interview. It gets caught by the person who reads it and by the tests that run before it merges.
What a wrong hire actually costs
The expensive part of a wrong hire is almost never the invoice. It is how long it takes to find out. Endless recruiting cycles and missed windows are one version of that. "Senior" titles and junior output are the other, and that one only becomes visible once real work is in flight. Nobody plans for the second one, because the interview went well. You find out from the work, not from the CV. We have no way to make that risk zero. Our rule is to tell you early. When timelines move, you hear about it in the week the risk emerges, not the week before delivery. It is not a guarantee. Early warning is what lets you do something about it. Ask how any arrangement you consider handles that.
One thing we have done that was exactly this
A global industrial-automation client could not source Magento expertise at the speed they needed. We put together a seven-person Magento team on demand for them. That is a precedent, not a result. It says that forming a specialist unit to order is something we have actually done. It does not say what the team delivered, because that is not ours to publish. Their sector is all we say about them, and that is on purpose. Magento is not one of the options here, and that is deliberate. The point is the shape of the thing, not the technology on it.
The bound that travels with it matters as much as the precedent. We tell you upfront whether the bench exists today or whether we will recruit specifically for your role. So when you ask for something unusual, you get one of two straight answers. You get it before you have committed to anything. Neither answer is a maybe, and neither one is us discovering later that we cannot staff it.
Three situations to check before you pick one
If we are not the right team for what you are building, we will tell you that. Three situations come up often enough to name here. One of them has a better answer somewhere else. Reading all three takes less time than a first call.
You need continuous real-time cover through a North American afternoon. A coordinator can host a live sync and an overlap shift can be arranged on request, so ask. If the requirement is somebody always awake in your own hours, this is not that.
You need the certificate itself. We do not certify against specific compliance frameworks ourselves; we engineer systems that pass your auditors' requirements. If what you are buying is the attestation, an auditor issues it, not us.
You have one short, bounded piece of work. Most engagements run three months or longer because that is when the productivity curve from a new developer flattens. Shorter engagements are possible for clearly-scoped pilots, fix-it work, or specialist projects. The engagement length is a function of the work, so tell us what the work is.
Sometimes what you actually want is for somebody else to decide what gets built. Then hand over a finished thing. That is a different arrangement, and build and launch is where it lives.
What you own at the end of it
Whichever one you pick, from day one every line of code is your IP. It lives in your repositories, deployments live in your cloud accounts, and any documentation we produce is yours to keep. That is true on the first day, not after a milestone. It is not conditional.
If you have your own Git hosting, cloud accounts and storage, we work inside them. If you do not have them yet, we provision them, set them up, and hand the keys over. So the accounts are yours either way, including the ones we opened for you.
If you offboard us, you keep everything, including the operational runbook. Not a copy of it, and not a summary written afterwards. The thing your own people would use to run the system on a Monday. Take that to whoever has to approve this, and if it raises a question, the answer is on one of the pages above.
Questions that come up before anybody signs anything
Where are your developers, and when are they available to me?
Every developer we propose is currently based in India. Atyantik runs on IST, 10:00 to 19:00 India time, which is 04:30 to 13:30 UTC. Those two figures never drift with the seasons. Where a live standup or sync is needed, a project coordinator can host it or an overlap shift can be arranged on request.
How quickly can someone start?
We typically present a shortlist within a few days of your brief. Typically is the honest word there. It depends on how specific the requirement is, and on whether the people you want are on our bench already. From the shortlist onward the pace is yours, because you decide how much interviewing you want to do.
Who owns the code, and what do we keep if we stop?
If you do not have your own Git hosting, cloud accounts and storage, we provision them and set them up. The keys are handed over, so the accounts are yours from the start. If you already have them, we work inside them. Either way, from day one every line of code is your IP. Deployments live in your cloud accounts, and any documentation we produce is yours to keep. If you offboard us, you keep everything, including the operational runbook.
Who reviews the code?
Every change goes through code review by a senior software engineer. We run GitFlow with unit tests, integration tests, and CI/CD that gates every merge. That applies to whichever arrangement you pick, and it applies to the person you interviewed as much as to anybody else.
Do I interview the person myself?
Yes, if you want to. Every developer we propose has been vetted by our own technical team first and comes from a pool we train continuously through structured programs. So the shortlist you see is already filtered. Your own interview sits on top of that rather than instead of it, and skipping it is a choice you are allowed to make.
