Tech Services
Engineers who ship inside your stack, not next to it.
Full-stack, backend, DevOps and data engineers who work your hours, follow your conventions, and are trained to get more done with AI — live in weeks, not quarters.
What this covers
One role, four kinds of engineering
Most teams need more than one flavor of engineer. We staff across the stack, so you're not running four separate searches.
Server-side & services
Engineers who design and maintain the services your product runs on, in the languages your team already uses.
Product & interface
People who build the interface your customers actually touch, with an eye for performance, not just markup.
Data engineering
Talent who build and maintain the pipelines, warehouses, and reporting layers your decisions run on.
Infrastructure & delivery
Engineers who keep deploys boring and infrastructure predictable, so releases stop being an event.
Levels we place
From an extra pair of hands to someone who owns the system
You tell us the seniority the work actually needs — we don't upsell a Staff engineer for a ticket queue.
Mid-level
Solid execution against a scoped backlog, with light guidance from your existing leads.
Senior
Owns a feature area end to end, makes technical calls, and mentors without needing to be managed closely.
Staff & Tech Lead
Sets technical direction for a pod, works directly with your engineering leadership, and carries architecture decisions.
Why Built by Upstart
The difference isn't the rate card
Plenty of vendors can quote you an hourly rate. The difference shows up in how the engineer actually works once they're on your team.
Full working-day overlap
Code review, standups, and incidents happen live — not async, across a nine-hour gap, with an answer waiting for you tomorrow.
Trained to get more done with AI
Every engineer we place runs an internal AI readiness track before day one, matched to your stack wherever we can.
Top 1% of who we screen
Backed by a 200+ person team and a #64 ranking on Forbes' Best Places to Work in the US — the bar doesn't loosen at scale.
