Hire senior
Node.js developers.
Start this week.
332 vetted senior Node engineers — Express, NestJS, Fastify, GraphQL, real-time systems — ready to join your team inside a week.
Senior Node.js devs, without the senior-dev wait.
Most engineering hires take 3–4 months. Ours take a week. Here's what makes that possible.
Pre-vetted, always.
Every Node.js engineer passes our 8-point assessment — technical, system design, communication, culture. 1 in 30 applicants make it.
Real seniors, not juniors in costumes.
Average 7+ years of production Node.js experience. Seen it, shipped it, fixed it.
Timezone-aligned.
At least 4 hours of daily overlap with your team — US, UK, EU, ME, APAC, ANZ. They show up to standup awake and ready.
Month-to-month. No lock-in.
Bill monthly with one week's notice to cancel. 90-day no-cost engineer replacement if it isn't working out. We win when you keep them.
Node.js's in everything. So are our engineers.
Six use cases where our Node.js team consistently outships in-house engineering orgs.
REST & GraphQL APIs
Express, NestJS, and Fastify APIs with auth, rate limiting, and caching baked in. REST or GraphQL.
Real-time systems
WebSockets, Socket.io, and Server-Sent Events. Chat, collab cursors, live dashboards — all battle-tested.
Microservices
Distributed Node services with proper boundaries, event-driven comms, and sane observability.
Background workers
BullMQ, queues, cron, and batch processors. Retries, DLQs, and idempotent handlers — done right.
BFF & API gateways
Backend-for-frontend layers that unify multiple services. Auth, schema stitching, and response shaping.
Serverless functions
Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Functions. Low-latency, auto-scaled, cost-aware.
Six real engineers. Ready this week.

What it actually costs.
No "let's get on a call to discuss pricing." Hourly rates by seniority. Billed weekly, no markup.
Mid Node.js
- Feature development in your Node.js stack
- Comfortable with code reviews & tests
- Handles tickets end-to-end independently
- Daily standup in your timezone
Senior Node.js
- Scopes and owns technical areas autonomously
- System design, DB schema, API contracts
- Mentors mid-level engineers on the team
- Handles ambiguous requirements, pushes back with data
Lead Node.js
- Greenfield architecture & tech strategy
- Cross-team technical leadership
- Performance, security, and scalability reviews
- Interview & hire engineers to grow your team
- Former tech leads at top PK/MENA tech cos

Questions, answered.
Everything clients ask before hiring their first Node.js engineer from us.
Ask us anything →How much does it cost to hire a Node.js developer?
Rates range from mid-level to lead, depending on seniority and specialization. See our rates section above for current pricing.
Project-based engagements are quoted against scope — typically $15k–$250k+ depending on complexity. Volume discounts kick in for 3+ concurrent engineers.
How quickly can I hire a Node.js engineer?
Typically 5–7 days from your initial inquiry to an onboarded engineer. Day 1 we scope, day 2–3 we shortlist, day 4–5 you interview, day 7 they start.
For common roles we often move faster. For deeply specialized roles it can take 2–3 weeks.
What Node.js frameworks and tools are your developers experienced in?
Our bench covers the full modern Node.js ecosystem. Tell us your stack and we'll match engineers with hands-on production experience in it.
Can I interview developers before committing?
Yes — always, and at no charge. We send a shortlist of 2–3 vetted engineers with profiles, Loom intros, and code samples. You interview however you normally would (pair-coding, system design, behavioral — all fair game).
If none are a fit, we re-shortlist until they are. You only pay once an engineer starts billable work.
What if an engineer isn't the right fit?
Billing is month-to-month with one week's notice to cancel — you're never locked in.
First 90 days of an engagement: we'll replace the engineer at no cost — same process, new shortlist.
After 90 days: standard transition on your timeline with no penalties.
Do you offer part-time Node.js engineers?
Yes — minimum engagement is 20 hours/week. Below that it's hard to sustain context and quality for either side. Most clients start part-time and scale to full-time as the project grows.
Who owns the code your developers write?
You do, full stop. IP transfer is in every contract. Code sits in your repo from day one. You get complete documentation and clean handoff materials. No licensing, no lock-in, nothing "licensed back" to you — ever.
Hire beyond Node.js.
Same vetting, same rates, same 7-day matching process — for every major stack we run.
