Professional Backend Development DevelopersBackend Development
We build scalable backend systems that handle millions of requests. 8-12 week MVPs with fixed pricing, no hourly billing.
IRPR builds backend systems using Node.js, Python, Go, and PostgreSQL. We design REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and event-driven architectures that scale from zero to millions of users.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA. Source code goes into your repository on day one.
Startups hire us to build their production backend before raising a Series A. SaaS companies hire us to refactor monolithic backends into microservices. Healthcare companies hire us for HIPAA-compliant APIs. Fintech companies hire us for PCI-DSS payment processing.

Why professional backend development developers matter for your product
A poorly built backend causes slow load times, security breaches, and expensive rewrites.
IRPR has shipped 200+ backend systems. Each one goes through a structured Roadmap phase where we define the data model, API contracts, and infrastructure before writing code. This prevents scope creep and ensures the backend matches your product requirements exactly.
Our senior engineers use Node.js, Python, and Go to build backends that handle 10,000+ requests per second. We include monitoring with Datadog, error tracking with Sentry, and uptime guarantees of 99.9%. Every project includes a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions so you can deploy changes in minutes.
The difference between generic dev shops and professional backend development developers
Most dev shops assign junior developers and bill hourly. IRPR does the opposite.
Generic dev shops often start coding without a clear architecture. They use hourly billing, which rewards slow work. They hand off code with no documentation, no tests, and no CI/CD pipeline. You end up with a backend that breaks in production and costs twice as much as quoted.
IRPR starts with a Roadmap phase where we document every API endpoint, database table, and infrastructure component. We give you a fixed price before writing code. Our senior engineers write unit tests, integration tests, and API documentation. Source code is yours from day one.
- Assigns junior developers with 1-2 years experience
- Bills hourly with no cap on hours
- Starts coding without a documented architecture
- Delivers code with no tests or CI/CD
- Owns the code until you pay final invoice
- No post-launch monitoring or uptime SLA
- Assigns senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Quotes a fixed price in week 2 of the Roadmap phase
- Documents data model, API contracts, and infrastructure before coding
- Includes unit tests, integration tests, and GitHub Actions CI/CD
- Transfers full code ownership on day one
- Includes Sentry error tracking and 99.9% uptime SLA
Our process for professional backend development
We follow a four-phase process that eliminates surprises and delivers a production-ready backend.
Phase 1 is the Idea phase where we clarify your requirements and map out the data flow. Phase 2 is the Roadmap phase where we define the architecture, tech stack, and fixed price. Phase 3 is the Product phase where our engineers build the backend in 8-12 weeks. Phase 4 is the Release phase where we deploy to production and hand over the code.
During the Product phase we do weekly demos so you see progress. We use code reviews for every pull request. We run load tests to ensure the backend handles your expected traffic. After launch we provide 30 days of support and monitoring.
What ships with every backend project
Every backend project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden costs.
You get a complete backend system that is ready for production. We include everything needed to deploy, monitor, and maintain the system. No add-ons, no upsells.
- Source code in your GitHub repository
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking and monitoring
- Datadog or CloudWatch performance dashboards
- API documentation with Swagger or Postman
- Unit tests and integration tests with 80%+ coverage
- Dockerized services with Docker Compose
- PostgreSQL or MongoDB schema with migrations
- Load test results showing performance at expected traffic
- 30 days of post-launch support and monitoring
What we ship in this practice.
SaaS subscription backend
Built a multi-tenant backend for a SaaS platform handling 50,000 users. Used Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Stripe. Reduced onboarding time from 3 days to 2 hours.
Healthcare patient portal API
Developed a HIPAA-compliant API for a telemedicine startup. Used Python, FastAPI, and AWS HealthLake. Handled 10,000 patient records with 99.9% uptime.
Ecommerce order processing system
Built an order processing backend for a D2C brand doing 5,000 orders per day. Used Go, PostgreSQL, and Stripe. Reduced order processing time by 60%.
Real estate MLS data pipeline
Created a data ingestion pipeline for a real estate platform. Used Python, Apache Airflow, and PostgreSQL. Integrated 3 MLS feeds with 100,000+ listings.
Fintech payment processing backend
Developed a PCI-DSS compliant payment backend for a fintech startup. Used Node.js, AWS Lambda, and Stripe. Processed 1 million transactions with zero downtime.
Logistics tracking and dispatch system
Built a real-time tracking backend for a logistics company. Used Go, WebSockets, and PostgreSQL. Reduced dispatch time by 40% and improved driver ETA accuracy.
Why teams hire us.
Senior engineers only
Every engineer at IRPR has 10+ years of experience. No junior developers. Every line of code is reviewed by a senior engineer before it gets merged.
Fixed price, not hourly
We quote a fixed price in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write code.
8-12 week MVPs
We ship production-ready backends in 8-12 weeks. Our structured process eliminates delays. 98% of our projects ship on time.
Full code ownership from day one
Source code goes into your GitHub repository on the first day. You own everything. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no restrictions.
Compliance built in
We build backends that meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA requirements. We include encryption, audit logs, and access controls by default.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch monitoring and support. We fix bugs, tune performance, and help your team take over. No handoff nightmares.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
