How We Vet for Elite Backend & APIs Talent

Our Axiom Cortex™ engine identifies top-tier talent by simulating real-world challenges specific to backend & apis. We select for engineers who have already solved your hardest problems.

The Pain: "Are your vendor-supplied backend engineers creating security holes and performance bottlenecks?"

Traditional staffing firms don't vet for modern backend practices. You get engineers who write inefficient N+1 queries, neglect security headers, and build monolithic services that can't scale. This creates massive operational risk and technical debt.

The Business Impact

This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Don't let your backend become a liability. TeamStation AI is an intelligent infrastructure platform, not a staffing agency. Our Cognitive AI vets every engineer for mastery of API security, database optimization, and microservice architecture. We deliver talent that builds resilient, scalable, and secure systems from day one.

Vetting Proof: Elimination of common OWASP API security vulnerabilities in new code.
The Pain: "Are your microservices failing to communicate reliably under load?"

Your team is struggling with the complexities of a distributed system. Services are tightly coupled, a failure in one service causes cascading outages, and you lack a clear strategy for asynchronous communication, leading to a brittle and unreliable platform.

The Business Impact

This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We provide architects who are experts in event-driven and asynchronous patterns. They are vetted on their ability to design and implement resilient communication using message queues (like RabbitMQ or Kafka) and modern RPC frameworks (like gRPC), ensuring your microservices are decoupled, fault-tolerant, and scalable.

Vetting Proof: Implementation of a resilient, event-driven microservices architecture.
The Pain: "Is your database access layer slow and inefficient?"

Your developers are writing ORM code that generates a massive number of inefficient queries, leading to slow API response times and a database that is constantly under strain. This indicates a lack of deep knowledge of how the ORM translates to SQL.

The Business Impact

This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our vetting process includes deep analysis of database interaction. We select for engineers who can diagnose and fix ORM performance issues, write optimized queries, and understand advanced concepts like caching and connection pooling to build a high-performance data access layer.

Vetting Proof: Measurable reduction in API latency through database query optimization.
The Pain: "Is your team choosing the wrong tool for the job?"

Your backend is a mix of different languages and frameworks with no clear strategy. This 'golden hammer' syndrome leads to solutions that are inefficient, unscalable, or overly complex for the given problem.

The Business Impact

This isn't just a technical issue; it's a drag on velocity and a source of production risk. A single mis-hire here costs you revenue, team morale, and market position.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our architects have broad and deep expertise across a wide range of backend technologies. They are vetted on their ability to make informed, pragmatic technology choices (e.g., Node.js for I/O-bound services, Go for high-concurrency systems), ensuring you always use the right tool for the job.

Vetting Proof: Pragmatic, evidence-based technology selection for backend services.
