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.
Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.
$500 per agent per month operational, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus. No retainer, no upfront commitment, no percentage-of-OTE gotchas.
Most searches produce a curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Signed offers range from 5 to 12 weeks end-to-end, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If they leave for any reason within 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
There's an initial voice intake — usually 30–45 minutes — where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring. After that, you review curated candidates as they come in. No daily standups.
