You’ve validated your MVP. Traffic is growing. Users expect speed, stability, and uptime. That’s where a backend architect steps in.

They don’t just write code — they design systems that scale, recover, and perform under pressure.

BeGig helps you hire freelance backend architects with deep experience in designing robust infrastructure for startups, SaaS platforms, and enterprise systems — without the overhead of full-time hiring.

What Does a Backend Architect Do?

A backend architect is responsible for making your app’s foundation bulletproof. They:

• Design system architecture (monoliths, microservices, event-driven)
• Choose the right databases, queues, and caching strategies
• Define API standards and documentation workflows
• Ensure security, fault-tolerance, and horizontal scalability
• Guide DevOps, cloud setup, and team-level backend practices
• Review and optimize existing infrastructure

If your backend is getting complex, slow, or unstable — it’s time for an architect.

When Should You Hire a Backend Architect?

• ✅ You’re scaling beyond MVP and need a long-term architecture
• ✅ Your team is struggling with technical debt or bottlenecks
• ✅ You’re planning a migration to microservices or serverless
