How hiring Node.js developers works.
You name the work
A new API, an integration with a system you pay for, a service that has grown too slow or a back end nobody in-house wants to touch. Tell us the stack and the database. We hand-pick a Node.js developer for it in 1 to 2 weeks.
They join your team
Your standups, your Slack or Teams, your Jira board and your code repository. They take back-end tickets, write the tests and send every change through your review.
You size it monthly
One Node.js developer to keep an API healthy, or several with a lead for a new platform. Grow or shrink the team month by month as the roadmap changes.
When to hire Node.js developers.
Pick the situation you are in now. Each tab shows where things stand today and what a Node.js developer on your team changes.
- Today
Your app needs an API for a mobile app or a partner
With a Node.js developerOne API the app, the website and your partners share
The data sits inside one application and nothing else can reach it. A Node.js developer builds an API in Express or NestJS, with GraphQL where the front end needs flexible queries, so your mobile app, your website and a partner can all read and write the same records.
Sharedone back end behind every screen

Your systems do not talk to each other
With a Node.js developerOrders, payments and accounts moving on their own
Someone copies orders from the store into the accounting software every afternoon. A Node.js developer connects the systems through their APIs, with queues and Redis to keep retries and timing in order, and the copying stops.
Connectedsystems that update each other

The back end slows down when traffic grows
With a Node.js developerA service that keeps up on your busiest day
Pages take longer at month end and the database is the reason. A Node.js developer finds the slow queries in PostgreSQL or MongoDB, adds caching with Redis where it helps and breaks out the pieces that need to scale on their own.
Steadyat peak, without a rewrite
Start a project - Today
Your only back-end developer is leaving
With a Node.js developerThe back end stays understood
One person knows how the services fit together, and they have given notice. A senior Node.js developer joins while they are still there, works alongside them and writes down what only they knew. Releases stay on plan.

How you stay in control.
Our Node.js developers take direction from you. Every developer we place works under these four rules.
You approve who joins and what ships
You meet each Node.js developer before they start and can ask for a change at any time. Every service and migration they write goes through your code review and reaches production only when your team merges and deploys it.
- You choose who joins the team
- Ask for a change if someone isn't a fit
- Every pull request goes through your review
Your code and data stay yours
The code lives in your repository and the databases in your cloud account, under an NDA signed before day one. Production data is reached only through the access you grant, following your own policies.
- Code and databases in your own accounts
- NDA before day one, plus MSA and DPA
- Access only to what each developer needs, through your own logins
In your tools and your process
They join your standups, sprints and channels, in Slack or Teams, Jira, GitHub or GitLab, and deploy through the pipeline you already have. You never have to adopt a tool of ours.
- In your Slack or Teams channels
- Tickets from your own Jira board
- Overlaps 3 to 4 hours with the US and UK
You see hours, progress and cost
Every month you see the hours worked, the tickets closed and what it cost. Day to day, progress shows on your own board, so you never wait for a status report.
- Progress on your own board, every day
- Hours worked, reported each month
- Cost shown each month, before you renew
Node.js developer onboarding timeline.
There is a clean exit after every stage. The two weeks with a senior Node.js developer on loan cost you nothing, and only then do you decide on a team.

Team
If you go ahead, we hand-pick the rest of the people you asked for, Node.js developers and, if you need them, React developers for the screens. They join your meetings, channels and board.

You end withA team sized to next month's roadmap.
From then on the team grows or shrinks month by month. If you later hire your own Node.js developers, we hand over with full documentation.

Node.js developer hiring questions.
The monthly cost, how we check back-end skills, time zones, code ownership and Express against NestJS.
What should we share before hiring a Node.js developer?
Describe the API framework, database, deployment environment and integrations involved. Include the main backlog items and any performance or reliability issues. We use that context to discuss the developer profile and the first piece of work.
How much does it cost to hire Node.js developers?
The price moves with seniority and how many developers you need. You pay month by month for the people you have, and you see that monthly cost before anyone starts. The first two weeks with a senior Node.js developer are free.
How soon can a Node.js developer start?
We hand-pick people in 1 to 2 weeks, after a 30-minute call where you tell us about the services and the database. The free two-week loan starts as soon as you have met the developer and given them access.
How do you check that a Node.js developer is good?
You see for yourself. The senior developer ships real back-end work in your repository for two weeks, with tests, through your own code review, before you pay anything. You meet each developer before they start, and your own engineers can ask whatever they like.
Express or NestJS, PostgreSQL or MongoDB?
We build on whatever you already run. For a new back end, Express is the smaller, simpler choice and NestJS adds structure that helps a larger team. PostgreSQL suits records with fixed shapes and relations; MongoDB suits documents that vary. We say which fits on the first call.
How do Node.js developers work across time zones?
We share 3 to 4 hours of the US and UK business day. Standups run on your clock, pull requests land in your repository, updates go to Slack, Teams or Jira, and we reply within 4 business hours.
Who owns the back-end code, and what if a developer is not a fit?
You own the code from the first commit; it lives in your own repository and runs in your own cloud account. If a developer is not the right fit, tell us and we replace them. You can ask for a change at any point.
