Hire Node.js developers.
Backend engineers who write TypeScript on the server: APIs, background jobs, integrations and the database design underneath them. Most work in NestJS or Express, and all of them write tests. From $2,400 a month, on public rates.
What it costs
Monthly price per full-time engineer, about 160 hours. No recruiting fee, and the first 2 weeks are free if it isn't working.
Mid, 3 to 5 yrs$2,400a month, about $15/hr
Senior, 5 to 8 yrs$3,200a month, about $20/hr
Lead, 8+ yrs$4,200a month, about $26/hr
What they build
Right when your frontend team is blocked on the backend, or when an API needs an owner who will keep it fast and documented.
01
APIs
REST and GraphQL APIs with versioning, validation, auth and documentation your frontend team can rely on.
02
Integrations
Payments, CRMs, ERPs and third-party APIs connected with retries, webhooks and proper error handling.
03
Real-time features
Chat, notifications and live dashboards over WebSockets, with queues behind them.
04
Scaling and clean-up
Slow endpoints profiled and fixed, monoliths split where it helps, and test coverage added before changes.
What we vet for
A senior engineer, not a recruiter, runs every stage: a communication screen, a practical task in your stack, a technical interview and references. You see the scorecard and interview the shortlist.
- TypeScript on Node.js with NestJS or Express
- Postgres or MySQL schema design and query tuning
- Queues and caching: BullMQ, Redis, SQS
- Auth: OAuth, JWT, sessions and permissions
- Unit and integration tests in CI
- Logging and monitoring in production

Questions
Straight answers on time, money, people and IP.
NestJS or Express?
Both. NestJS suits larger teams that want structure; Express suits small services. Engineers work in whichever your codebase already uses.
Can they work on our existing codebase?
Yes. Most engagements start on an existing product. The first week is spent reading the code, running it locally and shipping something small.
How fast can they start?
Node.js developers are a fast-start role: a senior engineer from our core team can usually start within 5 working days, while we match your long-term hire.
What does it cost to hire Node.js developers?
From $2,400 a month (about $15/hr) for a mid-level engineer, $3,200 for senior and $4,200 for a lead, for about 160 hours a month. Overtime, when you need it, is 1.5× the normal rate.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. We sign a mutual NDA before you share details, every contract assigns all code and IP to you, and the code lives in your repositories.
