• Solid grasp of database management systems like MySQL, Postgresql, or Oracle

With Belitsoft, you can save up to 40% on backend development, testing, and support costs. Let us have an exchange of ideas.

When You Need Dedicated Backend Developers

Lack of resources

When your workload is substantial, such as upgrading your backend codes to achieve a more efficient integration and quicker operations, or scaling your app or web development project to satisfy customer needs, you may have to enlarge your team. If you lack available developers to synchronize development with growth, hiring dedicated backend developers is a go-to option.

Lack of expertise

If your company needs a backend developer with expertise in a specific tech stack to work on a short-term project, consider outsourcing rather than hiring someone full-time. Or if you have a startup and require a skilled team of backend developers to create a fully functional solution, you may face difficulty finding a local software development team in your country with the required expertise.

Limited budget

Your project requires multiple or complex features and functions, but you don't have the resources to hire an appropriate backend developer to deliver it. Reduced cost of developers and larger selection in Eastern Europe makes outsourcing a viable option.

Benefits of Hiring Dedicated Backend Developers

Cost-Effectiveness

Partnering with a team of dedicated back-end developers can be a cost-efficient solution compared to building an in-house team. There are no expenses for hiring, training, and onboarding. For startups, partnering with an offshore development team can offer top-notch cost-effectiveness. This is beneficial for startups based in high-income countries like the US, UK, or Israel, as they can partner with top backend developers from offshore countries.

Expertise

Skilled backend developers who have worked on multiple projects bring the innovation to make your solution's server-side more secure, scalable, and efficient in a timely manner.

Easy Scalability

Collaborating with an outsourcing vendor is essential for business expansion. Bringing in a dedicated backend development vendor provides you with the flexibility to add new members and resources as the project demands, while also having the option to downsize promptly when necessary.

Large Talent Pool

A reliable software development vendor has a robust talent pool covering all major industries and technologies to create a high-quality solution for various businesses.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Backend Engineer?

The development cost remains unstandardized. Factors like expertise, scope, and hours affect the expenditure.

The company tailor the prices to your specific needs. Belitsoft conducts a thorough discovery phase prior to work to ensure that your project plan is well-defined, and our work process aligns with your project quote and plan.

On average, hiring Belitsoft's backend developers is two to three times less expensive than hiring from Western Europe, Israel, and the USA.

How to Hire a Dedicated Backend Developer

Step 1. Choose a software development vendor

One way to assess the competency of a backend development team is to examine their portfolio of similar projects. Previous experience makes them the right choice. However, if you're working on a novel idea, they may not have a portfolio of similar projects.

Besides their portfolio, it's important to check for excellent reviews and ratings from past customers. You can research their website, social media profiles, and case studies to get a sense of their work quality and customer satisfaction. Get feedback from customers in your industry or network.

Step 2. State your requirements and get project assessment

The choice of a programming language depends on your tasks and goals. Find developers who can write high-quality code in preferred language or in line with specific demands.

To get started, simply discuss your project requirements and specifications. Sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to protect your intellectual property. After that, the vendor’s professional team will share the resumes of available backend developers so that you can choose the best fit for your project.

Step 3. Review CVs and interview candidates

The selected software development vendor reviews the CVs of the backend developers. After examining the CVs, a vendor shortlists the applicants and interviews with them.

Step 4. Sign required contracts

After selecting a suitable dedicated backend developer, we will sign all necessary documents to begin the development process.

Step 5. Final approvals and billing

Once they have finished the project, they will bill any outstanding fees that they agreed upon but not yet billed, and they will officially close the project. We bill outstaffing customers monthly for extra work requested.

Why Hiring Dedicated Backend Developers from Belitsoft

Cost-Efficiency

Based on various statistics, hiring a backend developer who is based in Eastern Europe might result in significant cost savings. Compared to hiring developers locally in countries such as the UK, USA, and Canada, it is often estimated to be around 2 to 3 times less expensive.

Results and Dedicated Backend Success Stories for Our Recent Clients

The Team of 100 Specialists Cut the Cybersecurity Software Development Cost by 40%

Losing Clients due to Failing to Deliver Software Products to B2B Clients On Time

Our client, an Israeli cybersecurity company, had a series of complex software products that were sold to B2B customers. To sell a product, the company had to customize it for each client's individual needs and thoroughly test it before delivery.

The capacity of the company’s in-house team wasn't sufficient to fulfill so many tasks on time, so the queue of orders was growing, leading to poor customer experience and the potential loss of clients.

The company partnered with the Belitsoft software development company to get the specialists with Java, Python, and Cybersecurity domain knowledge immediately and at a 40% lower cost than in Israel.

Applying Best Practices to Scale the Dedicated Team from 5 to 100 Specialists

➥ Recruiting the team's core

To urgently deal with the challenge, Belitsoft started by building a dedicated team of 5-10 backend developers and QA testers to create a high-performing core of senior-level specialists.

We gradually added new dedicated backend developers and QA testers to the project when work was growing. The initial core team was successfully onboarding the new team members, creating an effective team scaling and expertise-sharing pipeline.

➥ Managing a team of dedicated backend developers and QA testers

Belitsoft not only creates high-performing teams but also smartly builds and manages the process of joint work between the remote and in-house teams to achieve significant results quickly.

For communication and visibility of progress, we use project management tools (Jira), and source code management tools (GitHub), in combination with regular online meetings and calls.

➥ Keeping core specialists for 2+ years on the project

Thanks to the transparency of work, regular communication, and attention to feedback, we’ve achieved 85% of team retention after 2 years of work.

The dedicated team works on a Cost Plus pricing model, which is ideal in this case because

• the project lasts for over 1 year,
• the company has an in-house development team but needs to augment its capacity,
• the business managers want to fully manage the dedicated developers like their own in-house employees.

Delivering Software Products to End Clients on Time at a 40% Lower Development Cost

Belitsoft has created and effectively manages a team of 100 dedicated backend developers and QA engineers. We've implemented our techniques to ensure the in-house and external teams work together efficiently.

Outsourcing software development, customization, and testing to Belitsoft allowed the Israeli enterprise to 

• save 40% on development and testing,
• keep all customers thanks to maintaining the products on top of technologies,
• deliver products to end customers on time.
