Ways to Hire Node.js Developers
Choose the engagement based on how much engineering capacity you need and for how long. Every developer goes through the same vetting process.
Dedicated Node.js Developer
One full-time developer embedded in your engineering team.
They work in your repositories, join your standups, and follow your existing development process. Best for ongoing product development, backend ownership, and roadmaps that need consistent engineering capacity.
See monthly rates →Hourly Node.js Developer
Senior help by the hour for a defined problem.
Bring in an experienced developer for a defined backend problem, such as an API redesign, performance issue, integration, architecture review, or difficult bug. Best when you need specialist help but do not need a full-time developer.
See hourly rates →Node.js Development Team
Two to four developers working under one lead.
Add two to four developers working under one lead. You get coordinated engineering capacity with aligned development practices and one point of contact. Best for major releases, backend rebuilds, migrations, or projects where one developer would become a bottleneck.
Talk Through Team Sizing →Node.js Development Work Our Engineers Handle
Hire for the backend work your product actually needs, rather than Node.js as a generic skill.
APIs & Backend Services
Build or extend REST and GraphQL APIs, authentication, authorization, rate limiting, third-party integrations, and backend services. Use structured frameworks such as NestJS or lighter Express services depending on the application.
Talk to an ExpertReal-Time Applications
Build chat, notifications, presence, live dashboards, messaging, and other real-time functionality using WebSockets and Socket.IO.
Leave a RequestMedia & Processing Systems
Develop upload workflows, media processing, FFmpeg pipelines, storage integrations, and delivery services for content-heavy applications.
Order an EstimatePayments & Platform Logic
Build subscription billing, wallets, payment webhooks, transaction workflows, reconciliation logic, and backend services where payment state needs to remain accurate.
Share Your IdeaHow We Vet Node.js Developers
Four stages before a developer appears in a profile we send you. The goal is to verify how they work in a real codebase, not how many technologies they can list on a CV.
Experience Review
We screen for genuine production Node.js experience, the systems the developer has worked on, their responsibilities, and the depth of their backend work. Tutorial projects and surface-level framework experience do not qualify.
Technical Screen
A live technical discussion covering the Node.js fundamentals that matter in production, including the event loop, asynchronous patterns, error handling, API design, service architecture, databases, and TypeScript. No trivia-based interviews.
Live Coding With a Technical Lead
The developer works on a feature in an existing codebase while one of our technical leads reviews their approach. We look at how they understand unfamiliar services, structure changes, handle edge cases, and work with existing code rather than simply how quickly they can create a new endpoint.
Paid Test Project
A scoped, paid build reviewed against our engineering standards, including code structure, testing, code quality, and pull request discipline. Only developers who clear all four stages become available for client engagements.
Hire a Node.js Developer in 3 Steps
From your requirements call to the developer’s first commit in 5 to 10 business days. Your total involvement before onboarding is typically around one hour.
Tell Us What You Need
Share your stack, seniority requirements, project scope, working hours, and preferred start date. You speak with someone who understands the technical requirements rather than passing your requirements through a generic sales process. An NDA can be signed before project details are shared.
Review Your Matched Developer
Within 48 hours, we send you a matched Node.js developer profile with their experience, production stack history, code samples, and communication details. Review the developer internally or put their code samples in front of your engineering team. If the match is not right, tell us what is missing and we rematch before the engagement begins.
Approve and Start
Once you approve the developer, we complete the engagement agreement and IP assignment. Your developer then joins your repositories, tools, standups, and existing workflow. Most engagements go from the initial requirements call to the developer’s first commit in 5 to 10 business days.
What You See Before Your Developer Starts
You do not have to hire from a CV and hope the developer is as good as the profile suggests. Review the match before the engagement begins.

Yes. You receive the matched developer’s experience summary, production stack history, code samples, and communication details before the engagement begins. If the match is not right, we rematch before you start.
Yes. If your backend uses NestJS, we can match against relevant NestJS experience instead of treating general Node.js knowledge as sufficient. The same approach applies when your requirements depend heavily on Express, TypeScript, MongoDB, GraphQL, WebSockets, or another part of the backend stack.
Yes. Developers can be matched according to the framework and architecture already used in your application, including structured NestJS services, Express applications, and lighter Node.js services where a larger framework is unnecessary.
Yes. Your Node.js developer can join the same standups, repositories, ticketing system, and pull request workflow as your frontend engineers. If you use a MEAN or MERN architecture, tell us how much frontend experience the role requires so it can be considered during matching.
Yes. Node.js developers can work on real-time chat, notifications, presence, live updates, and WebSocket or Socket.IO based functionality alongside REST and GraphQL APIs. Tell us your current architecture and expected workload during the requirements call so we can match the appropriate experience.
Our engineering team is based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Working hours are agreed around your team’s requirements before the engagement begins, and the matched developer’s available timezone overlap is confirmed before you approve them.
You do. IP assignment is documented in writing before the developer’s first commit. You retain ownership of the work produced for your engagement under the agreed terms.
You review and approve the developer before the engagement starts. If the initial match is not right, we rematch before anything begins. If an approved developer later turns out to be the wrong fit, we replace them within 5 business days at no additional cost.
Yes. Your project does not need to start from scratch. Developers can join an existing Node.js application to add features, work on live APIs, address technical debt, restructure services, fix performance problems, or continue an unfinished backend migration. Working inside an unfamiliar codebase is also evaluated during our developer vetting process.
