Senior Backend Development StudioBackend Development
We build production-grade backend systems in 8-12 weeks. Fixed pricing from $80K - no hourly surprises.
IRPR is a senior backend development studio that builds backend systems using Go, Node.js, Python, and PostgreSQL. We focus on clean architecture, horizontal scalability, and production readiness from day one.
Every backend project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 - no extra charges for security audits.
We are hired by CTOs needing a scalable backend for a new product, founders with a funded idea who need a senior team fast, engineering leads refactoring legacy systems, and enterprise teams requiring compliance-ready infrastructure.
Types of software we ship.
REST API Development
We build RESTful APIs with OpenAPI specs, rate limiting, and caching using Redis and Fastify. Includes Postman collections and integration tests.
GraphQL API Development
We design GraphQL schemas with Apollo Server, resolver batching, and data loaders. Supports federated gateways for microservices.
Microservices Architecture
We decompose monoliths into microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka). Each service is independently deployable.
Event-Driven Systems
We build event-driven backends using Apache Kafka or AWS EventBridge. Supports CQRS and event sourcing for audit trails.
Real-Time Data Pipelines
We construct real-time data pipelines with Apache Flink, Spark Streaming, or Kinesis. Handles millions of events per second with exactly-once semantics.
Backend for Mobile Apps
We deliver backend APIs for iOS and Android apps with Firebase Cloud Functions, MongoDB Realm, or custom Node.js servers. Optimized for low latency.
Backend for SaaS Platforms
We build multi-tenant SaaS backends with row-level security, usage metering, and Stripe billing integration. Supports tenant isolation per database schema.
Backend for Ecommerce
We develop ecommerce backends for Shopify, Magento, or custom stores. Includes inventory management, payment processing via Stripe/PayPal, and search with Algolia.
We build for every business type.
Fintech Startups
Healthcare Platforms
SaaS Companies
Ecommerce Brands
Data-Heavy Applications
Why senior backend engineers matter for your project
Middle-tier developers cost less but cost more in the long run.
Junior developers often produce code that requires extensive rewrites when scaling. IRPR only staffs engineers with 7+ years of experience, ensuring your backend is built right the first time.
Our senior engineers design for production from day one - including CI/CD, monitoring, and failover strategies. This reduces technical debt and delivers a system that can handle 10x growth without refactoring.
The difference between hiring senior backend engineers vs a typical agency
Not all backend teams deliver the same.
Many agencies staff junior developers to reduce cost, leading to inconsistent code quality and missed deadlines. They often use hourly billing that encourages scope creep.
IRPR invests in senior talent from day one. We give you a fixed price after the Roadmap phase (week 2) and include monitoring, testing, and documentation in every engagement.
- Uses junior developers for cost savings
- No system design upfront
- Hourly billing with scope creep
- No post-launch monitoring
- Code quality varies across projects
- No compliance knowledge
- Only senior engineers (7+ years experience)
- Architecture review in week 1
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- Sentry and Datadog monitoring included
- Code review and testing enforced in every sprint
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
Our process for backend development
From idea to production in 8-12 weeks.
We start with a 1-week Roadmap phase where we define your data model, API contracts, and infrastructure needs. You get a fixed price and timeline before development begins.
Our senior engineers then work in 2-week sprints, delivering functioning endpoints, database migrations, and tests each iteration. You can test and provide feedback throughout.
What ships with your backend system
Every deliverable is documented and owned by you.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Database schema and migration scripts
- Unit and integration test suite (coverage >85%)
- Deployment scripts for AWS/GCP/Azure
- Sentry error tracking integrated
- Datadog or New Relic monitoring dashboards
- Post-launch 30-day warranty with bug fixes
- Knowledge transfer session and handover document
What we ship in this practice.
Real-time payment processing API for a fintech startup
Built a payment API handling 10,000 transactions per second. Reduced failed payments by 40% using idempotency keys and retry logic. Stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Stripe.
Scalable data pipeline for a health analytics platform
Constructed a streaming pipeline that processes 50 GB of patient data daily. Delivered analytics dashboards with <2 second query latency. Stack: Apache Kafka, Spark, Delta Lake, AWS S3.
Multi-tenant backend for a SaaS CRM
Engineered a tenant-isolated backend supporting 500+ clients on a single cluster. Reduced per-tenant cost by 70% using shared resource pools. Stack: Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Docker.
GraphQL gateway for a mobile commerce app
Unified 4 microservices behind a single GraphQL endpoint. Cut mobile API response time from 800ms to 120ms. Stack: Apollo Server, NestJS, PostgreSQL, AWS Lambda.
Event-driven system for an IoT logistics tracker
Deployed an event-driven backend that ingests 1 million device events per hour. Achieved 99.99% uptime with automatic failover. Stack: AWS Kinesis, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3.
Backend for a social media content platform
Built a scalable feed service that serves 5 million daily active users with <300ms latency. Used fan-out caching and CDN integration. Stack: Python (FastAPI), Cassandra, Redis, GCP.
Why teams hire us.
Only senior engineers
Every engineer on your project has 7+ years of backend experience. We never staff juniors or offshore contractors - you get the same team throughout the engagement.
Fixed price from week 2
After the 1-week Roadmap phase we give you a fixed price for the entire project. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep.
Production-ready from day one
We write tests, set up CI/CD, and implement monitoring from the first sprint. Your backend is deployable at any point in the engagement.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support with bug fixes and performance tweaks. We don't disappear after deployment.
Compliance built in
We have delivered backends for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 environments. Our architecture includes encryption, audit logging, and access controls by default.
You own the code
Source code, documentation, and infrastructure scripts are all transferred to your repository. IRPR retains no rights - you can take it anywhere.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
