Hire Remote Node.js Developer

Hire Prakash Tank, a named engineer in Ahmedabad. Hire a Node.js developer for APIs, real-time features, and production JavaScript backends. Delivery is remote-first.

Node.js backends that stay operable after the demo.

Node.js hiring here is Express or a focused service: REST APIs, webhooks, and real-time paths with Redis or sockets when the product actually needs them. I prefer boring structure over a new framework every quarter.

If your Node app is a single file of routes with no tests, the first milestone is usually boundaries, logging, and a deploy pipeline, then the feature you came for.

I also sit Node next to Laravel when the product is PHP in the core and JavaScript at the edge.

What this page covers

  • Express APIs and webhooks
  • Real-time and socket paths
  • Redis, queues, and retries
  • Auth and rate limits
  • TypeScript where it pays off
  • Remote-first cadence with a written daily window

How remote delivery works

Remote here means I join your Slack, GitHub, and standup cadence as a named engineer. You get pull requests, written decisions, and a weekly demo. You do not get a bait-and-switch bench or a project manager relaying messages.

Typical overlap is IST with US mornings or Europe afternoons. We agree the daily window in week one so deep work and reviews do not collide. Time tracking, if you need it, is honest hours against the milestone, not eight idle hours on a clock.

What you get when you hire a Node.js developer

Remote here means I join your Slack, GitHub, and standup cadence as a named engineer. You get pull requests, written decisions, and a weekly demo. You do not get a bait-and-switch bench or a project manager relaying messages.

API services

REST, validation, and versioning so clients are not guessing payloads.

Real-time features

Sockets or SSE when a refresh button is not enough, with reconnect and backpressure in mind.

Webhook reliability

Idempotent handlers, signature checks, and logs for Stripe, CRMs, and partner events.

Node next to PHP

Keep Laravel for the domain and add Node where the event or realtime path belongs.

Performance

Find event-loop stalls, N+1 calls, and missing caches before you throw more instances at the problem.

Dedicated Node capacity

A named Node engineer for a sprint when your team is blocked on backend JavaScript.

Hiring questions

Straight answers before you send the first message.

Express or a small structured service is the default. I will use Nest if your team already runs it. I will not migrate you for fashion.

TypeScript on new services. Existing JS stays JS until a boundary makes types worth the conversion.

I work IST from Ahmedabad. Overlap is scheduled with US and Europe teams. Default tools are GitHub, Slack or Teams, Linear or Jira, and a weekly demo. I adapt to your stack if it is already in place.
