Node.js covers a wide range, from a simple Express API to event-driven services with queues and WebSockets. We match the developer to what your back end actually does, not to a keyword on a CV, and send 2 to 4 people we know personally. For a whole application or API built by us for a fixed price, see web application development. For a complete group with its own PM, look at a dedicated team.
Hire Node.js Developers
Your back end runs on Node.js, the roadmap keeps growing, and the people who know the code are already at full load. We find a Node.js developer who joins your team: in your repository, your sprints and your code review, under your tech lead, full time or part time, paid by the hour.

What our Node.js developers do
-
01.
APIs and services
REST and GraphQL APIs in Express, Fastify or NestJS, with validation, authentication and versioning.
-
02.
TypeScript
Strict types across the back end, types shared with the front end, and a gradual move off older JavaScript without stopping releases. If the front end needs its own owner, a React developer can join too.
-
03.
Real-time features
Chats, live dashboards, notifications and shared screens on WebSockets or Socket.IO, with Redis when the load grows.
-
04.
Queues and background work
Jobs and schedules on BullMQ or through a message broker such as RabbitMQ or Kafka, so heavy work never slows the API.
-
05.
Data layer
PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB through Prisma, TypeORM or Mongoose, with migrations, indexes and fast queries.
-
06.
Tests and delivery
Unit and integration tests in Jest or Vitest, Docker images, CI pipelines, and serverless functions where they make sense.

The developer starts
We arrange onboarding and access, the developer picks up tasks in your next sprint, and each month you get a report on the work and the fit.

A shortlist of 2 to 4 Node.js developers chosen for your framework, your database and the kind of load your system carries.
You interview each candidate and decide who joins.
Contracts, NDAs, equipment and access to your repository and cloud accounts, handled by us.
A developer inside your process, in your sprints, your stand-ups and your pull request reviews.
Monthly reports and regular check-ins, so you hear about any friction before it costs you a release.
A replacement when the developer is not the right fit, with the handover arranged by us.

Pricing
$45 to $65 an hour
The rate depends on seniority (middle, senior or lead), on full time or part time work, and on niche skills such as high-load real-time systems or message brokers. Against a local hire in the US or Western Europe, the cost is usually 40 to 60% lower.
Hours worked are billed by the hour on a monthly invoice. The rate includes selection, contracts, equipment, HR support, replacements and monthly reports. Your cloud accounts, paid services and licences are on your side.

FAQ
Who manages the developer day to day?
You do, or your tech lead. The developer takes tasks from your backlog and follows your process. Contracts, HR, check-ins and replacements stay with us.
Can they work with plain JavaScript and older Node.js versions?
Yes. A developer can keep that code working and, if you want, plan a gradual move to TypeScript and a supported runtime.
Can the developer also write front end code?
Some Node.js developers are full stack and work comfortably in React or Next.js. Tell us how the work splits between front end and back end, and we shortlist for that balance.
Do they work with serverless and the cloud?
When the role needs it, we shortlist people with AWS Lambda, Google Cloud or Vercel experience. If infrastructure is a separate job, a DevOps specialist fits better.
What about time zones?
Ukraine and Eastern Europe give 3 to 5 hours of overlap with Western Europe and 2 to 4 hours with the US East Coast. Most developers are flexible with hours and comfortable with async work.
Can we hire the developer in-house later?
Ask us. We discuss it case by case.
