Ryz places senior, top 1% database developers on your team for $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month, and you review a shortlist of named candidates before you sign anything. They design schemas, tune slow SQL and run engine migrations on US business hours.
Database work sits between the application and the infrastructure, and most teams under-staff it until something breaks. Our engineers cover SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB and Snowflake. Common work:
Talk covers your engines, data sizes, the queries that hurt and who runs the servers today. We come back with a plan, a price and the names of the engineers we would pick. Match is engine-specific: a T-SQL-heavy SQL Server shop gets a different engineer than a team moving from DynamoDB to Postgres.
Join means your repos, migration tooling and the database access level you choose. Grow could add a data engineer, a Postgres specialist or a dedicated team for a migration. If an engineer isn't the right fit, we replace them free, and you own all code and IP they produce.
A database developer designs schemas, writes queries and procedures, and works with application engineers on data access. A DBA focuses on running the servers: patching, capacity, backups, security and uptime. On managed cloud databases the two roles overlap more than they used to. Most of our engineers are developers first who handle routine operations well. If you need a dedicated production DBA for a large on-premises Oracle estate, tell us up front so we match for that.
Our recruiters source engineers who have owned production databases and can show the queries and schemas they built. ARC, our in-house system, ranks the pipeline. Candidates complete structured NTRVSTA AI interviews on modeling, SQL and performance in their main engine. Recruiters review every candidate before and after, then send a curated shortlist. AI scores are advisory. People decide.
Ryz is not the right fit if you want hourly gigs from a self-serve marketplace, or engineers in Europe or Asia time zones for follow-the-sun coverage.
Some teams hire a database developer to own a single engine and its schema. Others hire database developers as a small group to move off Oracle or consolidate several MySQL instances. Every one of our database developers for hire is remote and works your hours.
If you want to hire dedicated database developers who stay with one data layer for years, or hire remote database developers and database engineers for a migration window, we scope it the same way: a plan, a price and named people.
Large enterprises, retailers and financial institutions across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina run serious SQL Server and Oracle estates, and many are now moving to Postgres and the cloud. Senior engineers there have done both the legacy work and the migration, which is the mix most US teams need.
Schema reviews and incidents go better live. On US business hours, our engineers join your design discussions and can be online during a cutover window with your team.
Our engineers delivered a fraud detection platform for a global fleet company. It scored 244K+ invoices, at under 30 seconds per decision, and $5.94M in fraud was confirmed and validated by the client's fraud team. The stack included FastAPI, Azure, SQL Server and Azure OpenAI, with a real-time scoring API wired into the client's maintenance systems. Fast lookups against invoice history and a stored record of every score are exactly the kind of data layer a database developer owns.
One engineer works well for owning a schema, tuning and routine migrations. Engine-to-engine migrations or several databases at once usually call for two or three people and a lead.
Yes. We match on engine and version, including T-SQL and PL/SQL depth, not a generic SQL profile.
Most handle routine operations such as backups, replication and upgrades well, especially on managed cloud databases. For a dedicated production DBA role, tell us so we match for it.
