Hire a Backend Engineer
The engineer who owns the systems your company runs on.
Backend talent is hiding in plain sight
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
The best backend engineers are often the quietest. They ship production systems, write clear post-mortems, and contribute to open source, but their LinkedIn headlines say 'Software Engineer' with nothing distinctive.
LinkedIn filters and keyword searches miss them. Recruiters looking for 'Senior Backend Engineer' end up with the same pool everyone else is fishing in: high inbound, low signal.
You need sourcing that reads actual code, evaluates system design from blog posts, and notices who's been maintaining the hard parts of a codebase.
How Superposition finds your backend engineer
Code-level signal
Our agent reads GitHub contributions, open source maintenance, and technical writing to find real backend depth.
Stack-specific intake
We separate 'needs Go' from 'needs someone who can jump stacks'. These are different candidate pools.
Outreach that earns replies
Messages reference the candidate's actual commits or posts. Response rates in our customer base beat generic recruiter outreach by a wide margin.
Fast, flat-rate
$500/agent/month. Curated candidates in weeks, not the 3+ months of a traditional agency.
Questions.
Answered.
As few as possible. Strong backend engineers cross languages routinely, and a hard requirement on a specific stack shrinks the pool much more than it raises quality.
Through the traces it leaves: repositories, design documents, postmortems, talks about a system that broke. The write-up quotes the evidence so you can judge it.
Depends on what exists. With no senior engineer in the team already, a mid-level hire will be left designing systems alone, which usually goes badly.
Rarely. Having owned something end to end at a smaller scale predicts startup performance better than having owned a slice of something huge.
