Hire a Node.js Developer who keeps your APIs fast and stable.
Get back-end work moving again. A pre-vetted Node.js developer builds endpoints, services and integrations in your codebase, on your schedule.

- TypeScript
- Express
- NestJS
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
Overview
What does a Node.js Developer do?
Behind every screen in your product sits an API call. When the back end falls behind, front-end work stalls waiting for endpoints, webhooks fail silently overnight and a slow database query turns into a support ticket by morning.
A dedicated Node.js developer owns that layer. They design and build REST or GraphQL APIs with Express, Fastify or NestJS, model data in PostgreSQL or MongoDB, connect payment, email and CRM services, and move slow jobs into queues so requests stay quick. Because they write TypeScript on the server, they share types and tooling with your front-end team instead of working in a separate world.
AssistHubPro introduces you to Node.js engineers who have proved themselves on practical back-end tasks. Your developer works inside your repositories, cloud accounts and ticketing system, joins your planning sessions and ships through your pull request process, with an Account Manager checking in along the way.

Skills and stack
Server-side work in Node.js, done properly.
The day-to-day work your developer owns, in the tools your team already uses.
- API design and buildCreates versioned REST or GraphQL endpoints with validation, pagination and clear error responses.
- Framework workBuilds services in Express, Fastify or NestJS, following the structure your project already has.
- Database modelingDesigns schemas and queries in PostgreSQL, MySQL or MongoDB using Prisma, TypeORM or Mongoose.
- Third-party integrationsConnects Stripe, SendGrid, HubSpot and other services, with retries and signed webhook handling.
- Background jobs and queuesMoves email, reports and heavy processing into BullMQ or cloud queues so requests return quickly.
- AuthenticationImplements sessions, JWT or OAuth logins and role-based permissions across your services.
- Automated testsWrites unit and integration tests with Jest or Vitest and Supertest against real database fixtures.
- Logging and monitoringAdds structured logs, health checks and error tracking so problems surface before customers report them.
Tools they already know
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- Express
- NestJS
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
- Redis
- Docker
Your developer works in your repositories, cloud consoles and tickets with only the permissions the role needs. The code is yours, and access is withdrawn when the placement ends.
Human vs AI
Why a Node.js Developer beats AI on its own.
AI tools are quick at first drafts. A dedicated developer turns them into finished work you can trust, inside your business.

| Accountability | ||

The best of both. Your developer can use AI tools to draft, research and summarize faster, then checks every result before it reaches you or your clients.

FAQ
Hiring a Node.js Developer: your questions.
Which Node.js frameworks and versions do your developers know?
Current long-term-support Node.js releases with TypeScript, and frameworks such as Express, Fastify and NestJS. If you run something older or less common, mention it in the consultation and we match for it.
Will they work inside our sprint process?
Yes. Your developer picks up tickets from your board, joins stand-ups and planning, and ships through your branch and pull request rules, reviewing teammates' code as well as having their own reviewed.
How do you handle time-zone differences?
You set the hours. We match developers who can cover an agreed overlap for meetings and reviews, and who leave clear written updates for the rest of the day.
How soon can they be productive?
Candidates are put in front of you within days of the free consultation. After you pick one, a kick-off call covers repository, environment and cloud access so a first task can start right away.
Do we own everything they build?
Yes. All code and related work is your intellectual property, committed to your repositories under your accounts.
Can they pick up a Node.js codebase someone else wrote?
Yes. They begin by getting the project running locally, reading the critical paths and adding tests around fragile areas before changing them.
Can we add more back-end capacity later?
Yes. Your Account Manager can add more Node.js developers or complementary roles such as front-end, QA or DevOps, part-time or full-time.
What happens if the match doesn't work out?
Let your Account Manager know and we will find a replacement developer free of charge, with no questions asked.
