Backend API Development Team | Build APIs That ScaleBuild APIs
Hire a backend API development team of senior engineers. We ship production-ready REST and GraphQL APIs in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing.
IRPR builds backend APIs that power web apps, mobile apps, and SaaS platforms. We use Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, and GraphQL to deliver high-performance APIs.
We ship production-ready APIs with CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions, Docker containers, and automated testing. Timeline is 8-12 weeks for an MVP. Typical pricing ranges from $80K to $250K depending on complexity. We also ensure compliance with SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS if needed.
We are hired by CTOs at startups who need a scalable API for their SaaS MVP, by engineering managers at mid-market companies who need to migrate from monolithic to microservices, by product owners at fintech companies who need a PCI-DSS compliant payment API, and by healthcare tech leaders who need a HIPAA-compliant patient data API.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
IRPR builds RESTful APIs using Express.js, FastAPI, and Django REST Framework. Designed for high throughput and easy versioning.
GraphQL API Development
IRPR builds GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server and Hasura. Schema-first approach for flexible data queries.

Why Hire a Backend API Development Team?
Our backend APIs ship faster and run reliably.
We have built over 200 APIs for clients in 50+ countries. Each API is designed for scalability and security from day one.
Our team focuses on senior engineers only. We avoid junior developers and offshore mismatches.
The Difference Between a Generic Dev Shop and IRPR
Not all API teams are equal. Here is what sets IRPR apart.
Generic shops often assign junior developers to cut costs. They bill by the hour and leave you with unclear code ownership.
IRPR assigns senior engineers only, provides fixed pricing after the Roadmap, and ensures full code ownership from day one.
- Uses junior developers
- No fixed pricing
- No API architecture review
- No CI/CD setup
- Slow communication across time zones
- Code ownership unclear
- Senior engineers only (8+ years)
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- API architecture review included
- CI/CD and monitoring set up
- Async-first with daily standups
- Full code ownership
How We Build Your Backend API
Our process is designed for speed and quality from the first call.
We start with a 2-week Roadmap to define architecture, endpoints, and compliance needs. Then we move into development sprints with regular demos.
Each sprint ends with a deployable increment. We use automated testing and staging environments to catch issues early.
What Ships With Your Backend API
Every project includes more than just code. You get a production-ready system.
We deliver everything a modern API needs to run in production from day one.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Docker containers for each service
- Automated test suite (unit, integration, e2e)
- Sentry error tracking
- Cloud infrastructure on AWS/GCP (VPC, RDS, ECS)
- 99.9% uptime SLA
- Monitoring dashboards (Datadog)
- One year of bug fixes
What we ship in this practice.
