Hire a remote Node.js Developer
Skills we screen for in a Node.js Developer
What we screen
Mid–senior operators who own specs → working Node.js code → shipped product, not ticket theater.
- Node.js / Express or Nest — Services structured for growth, not one-file chaos.
- Data layer & queues — Postgres/Redis/etc. used with clear failure modes.
- Testing & deploy — CI and environments that make shipping boring.
- Code quality & reviews — Readable PRs; tests where they matter; no silent regressions.
- Debugging & ownership — Prod issues owned end-to-end — not “works on my machine.”
- Delivery with product/design — Clarify ambiguity; ship increments that users can feel.
How we vet
How we vet before shortlist:
- Portfolio / code review — Real shipped work, not toy repos alone.
- Build exercise — Can they design and ship a small feature under a clear brief?
- References — Confirmed delivery with eng leads, PMs, or founders.
- Delivery under pressure — Clear cuts when scope and deadline collide.
- Founder-ready communication — What’s shipped + what’s next, not buzzword theater.
