Senior Backend Engineer

Fintech Platform · Remote · CET hours

Delivered via Pilot Program

The Situation

A fintech company preparing for its next product phase needed to strengthen backend capacity without introducing long-term hiring risk. The team required senior-level engineering input to support architectural decisions, performance optimisation, and collaboration with existing developers.

Why This Approach Was Chosen

• The company wanted to validate real-world delivery before committing long term

• Backend quality and system thinking were more important than speed alone

• The Pilot Program allowed hands-on evaluation with minimal operational risk

Engagement Model

Alpha Global delivered a short, focused Pilot Program designed to mirror the company’s production environment:

1. Shortlist of senior backend profiles aligned with the existing stack

2. Technical interviews and architecture-focused discussions

3. A 7-day trial period embedded into the live development workflow

Timeline & Execution

• Shortlist delivered within 14 days

• Interviews completed within one week

• Pilot trial executed over 7 working days with direct team collaboration

What This Shows

This scenario illustrates how the Pilot Program enables companies to validate senior backend expertise, working style, and collaboration quality before making longer-term commitments.

Outcome Snapshot

The engineer demonstrated strong backend ownership, clear communication, and alignment with internal coding standards. Architectural decisions were validated, and the collaboration model proved effective for the team’s workflow.
