Senior Node.js Developers
Job Description, Responsibilities & Requirements
About the Position
We are seeking Senior Node.js Developers to design and own backend systems using NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Join our team for a two-week paid trial.
Backend Owners, Not Ticket-Takers
Anyone can pass a Node.js quiz. The engineers we staff have carried real backends through production: API design, background jobs, third-party integrations, and the database decisions that decide whether the system scales or seizes up.
Our AI workflow toolkit takes the boilerplate off their plate, so a single senior engineer covers ground that used to need two or three. You talk to that engineer directly, and the CEO stays one message away.
The Engagement, Step by Step
It starts with a readiness audit so we understand your stack, your stage, and what the backend actually needs before we propose anyone. Then a matched engineer joins for a two-week paid trial on your real backlog. Keep going if the fit is obvious; walk away on 30 days if it is not. There is no recruiter fee at any point.
Where the Node Depth Comes From
Our default backend framework is NestJS, which gives Node.js the structure, dependency injection, and testability that raw Express projects tend to lack. Around it: PostgreSQL, queue-based processing, and TypeScript throughout, so the code your engineer leaves behind is the kind your next hire can read.
Why Senior-Only
A mid-level developer plus AI tooling still makes mid-level architecture calls, just faster. We only staff engineers senior enough to challenge a bad requirement, spot the scaling trap in a schema, and say no to complexity you do not need. That judgment is the product; the AI just compounds it.
Proof
One Node.js backend replaced five fragile tools.
SolasMind was running its wellbeing business on Webflow, Directus, Sheets, Airtable, and Acuity stitched together. Our engineers built a single unified Node.js backend with auth, roles, and reporting, keeping Acuity as a clean booking integration - the kind of backend ownership you are hiring for.
