Hire C developers
Senior C developers on Miyagami build embedded, firmware and operating-system-level software, using AI tools and checking what those tools produce. Each one is tested on manual memory management, pointer safety, concurrency and debugging close to the hardware.
01
Every pointer is a review item
Generated C can look tidy and still miss a bounds check, a free or an error path. In C those mistakes become crashes or security holes, so engineers review model output line by line.
02
Hardware doesn't match the model's assumptions
Models assume a generic machine. Real targets have tight memory, specific compilers and timing constraints, and the engineer has to know where generated code doesn't fit them.
03
Testing is harder, so judgement matters more
Low-level code is often hard to unit-test, which puts more weight on reading, static analysis and measured debugging.
How we assess C developers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For C developers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- AI output verification
Engineers review generated C with a missing bounds check or an unhandled error path and decide what has to change before it ships.
- Debugging
Engineers trace a memory corruption or timing bug with a debugger, sanitisers or logs on a constrained target.
- Judgement by risk and ownership
The engineer decides which changes are safe on the target, which need hardware testing and who signs them off.

How to review AI-generated code
Reviewing AI-generated code changes some of what reviewers look for and keeps the rest. This entry covers both, plus the specific failure modes to check for.
What is Backend as a Service (BaaS)?
BaaS provides pre-built cloud infrastructure (databases, auth, storage, APIs) so teams ship apps without building or managing servers from scratch.
What changed about code review
AI-generated code has changed what code review looks for. This entry explains why reviews take longer and what skills reviewers now need.
Questions about hiring C developers
How senior are the C developers on Miyagami?
Every C developer we put forward has shipped and maintained production systems and passed both assessments. You see their scorecards before you meet them.
How do you test C specifically?
Each candidate works through two sixty-minute assessments in a real C codebase. The first covers memory management, pointers, concurrency and debugging with AI tools off. In the second they use their own agents, and the assessment checks whether they catch unsafe memory handling in generated code. You get both scorecards.
How quickly can a C developer start?
You get a shortlist in five working days. From shortlist to first commit is typically three weeks, covering your interview, any technical conversation you want to run and contract setup. Engagements are full-time only, with a three-month minimum.
What does a C developer cost through Miyagami?
You pay a fixed monthly fee of €5,600 to €8,000 per full-time engineer, with employment, payroll and compliance included and no recruitment fee. The pricing page compares it with the all-in cost of a senior local hire in your country. Engagements are full-time with a three-month minimum, and if a placement doesn't work out, we replace them at our cost.
Do they work in our stack and tools or their own?
Once placed, engineers work in your repositories, your tooling and your sprints, and follow your rules for what AI tools may touch. In the second assessment they use their own agents, so you've already seen how they work with them.
Get a shortlist within five working days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within five working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards.
