Backend systems and integrations.
Build and improve the software that connects products, data, users, and external services.
Discuss this serviceEngineering the whole operating path.
8Network takes responsibility for backend behavior, integration boundaries, failure handling, and the production concerns around them. The work is designed around the system and business constraints rather than a preferred programming language.
When this work is useful
- A product needs a new backend capability or integration that must work reliably in production.
- Authentication, payment, or third-party service flows have become difficult to change safely.
- Event-driven workflows fail in ways that are hard to recover or reason about.
- An existing backend needs modernization, performance work, or clearer service boundaries.
What 8Network can deliver
- Backend services and production APIs
- Authentication and authorization flows
- Payment systems and provider abstractions
- Integration layers and external-service connectors
- Event-driven workflows with explicit failure and recovery behavior
- Modernization and performance remediation
How the engagement works
Map the system boundary
Clarify the business behavior, data ownership, dependencies, failure cases, and operational expectations.
Implement for real conditions
Build around retries, idempotency, security, observability, and the behavior of external systems—not only the happy path.
Integrate and hand over
Verify the workflow across boundaries and leave the owning team with clear contracts, tests, and operational guidance.
Relevant experience
- Built authentication flows spanning major identity providers and guest access.
- Implemented payment systems and abstractions across multiple providers.
- Delivered event-driven workflows, distributed coordination, and business-critical software across several domains.
