Backend engineers who know Node

Node.js runs the backends behind chat apps, streaming platforms, and APIs that serve millions of requests. Getting it right takes more than knowing JavaScript — it takes judgment about async flow, error handling, database design, and where a service will bottleneck. Our nearshore engineering team builds Node backends that hold up in production, not just in a demo.

Every engineer we place has shipped real Node.js systems: Express and NestJS APIs, event-driven microservices, and real-time features over WebSockets. We write TypeScript from the first commit, model data carefully in PostgreSQL or MongoDB, and back critical paths with Jest and Supertest so your API ships without surprises. Pair a Node backend with a React frontend team and one group can own your entire stack.

You can hire our developers to build a new service or drop into your existing codebase for team augmentation. Rates are hourly — mid-level at $45, senior at $65, lead and architect at $95 — with no retainers and full code ownership. Building server-rendered React on the same backend? See our Next.js developers for full-stack coverage.

Node.js Hiring FAQ

Node.js shines for I/O-heavy backends: JSON APIs, real-time apps, streaming services, and gateways that fan out to many downstream systems. We use it for REST and GraphQL APIs, chat and notification systems over WebSockets, dashboards that push live data, payment and webhook handlers, and microservice backends. Because Node shares one language with a React or Next.js frontend, a single team can move confidently across the whole stack.
Both. Express is our choice for lightweight services and focused APIs where we want minimal overhead and full control. NestJS is our default for larger systems that benefit from opinionated structure — dependency injection, modules, guards, and first-class TypeScript. We pick the framework that fits the project rather than forcing one on every codebase, and we can extend whichever one your team already runs.
Our backend developers have shipped production Node.js services for years, not weekend projects. That means real experience with authentication and authorization, rate limiting, background jobs and queues, database transactions, error handling, and observability. They write TypeScript by default, cover critical paths with tests, and know the difference between code that demos well and code that survives real traffic.
Yes — team augmentation is one of our most common engagements. We review your repository, adopt your branching model, coding standards, and review process, and work inside your sprints and stand-ups. You keep ownership of architecture decisions while we add senior capacity. Whether you need one engineer to unblock a roadmap or a small pod to build a new service, we integrate rather than silo.
For live functionality we use WebSockets, typically through Socket.IO or the native ws library, backed by Redis pub/sub when we need to scale across multiple instances. We handle reconnection, presence, room-based broadcasting, and back-pressure so connections stay stable under load. Common use cases include live chat, collaborative editing, real-time dashboards, order tracking, and instant notifications.
We bill by the hour, so you only pay for engineering you actually use: mid-level developers at $45/hour, senior developers at $65/hour, and lead or architect-level engineers at $95/hour. There are no monthly retainers or seat licenses, and you own 100% of the code we write. Because we work from Honduras in US Central Time, you get senior talent at a fraction of typical US agency rates.
Mostly PostgreSQL and MongoDB, chosen by the shape of the data. PostgreSQL is our default when relationships, transactions, and strong consistency matter, usually paired with Prisma or Drizzle. MongoDB fits flexible or document-heavy data, paired with Mongoose. We also work with Redis for caching, sessions, and pub/sub, and we design schemas and indexes carefully so your API stays fast as data grows.
