Hire Node.js developers for real time apps and fast APIs

Node.js shines at handling many connections at once, and it punishes blocking code and unhandled promises. Cubehire Node.js developers write non blocking, typed services with Express or NestJS, and they know how to find the memory leak before it takes production down.

Vetting

How we vet Node.js Developers

Every Node.js developer sits the Cubehire AI interview: multiple choice fundamentals, a timed written and coding round, and a recorded video round. A person on our team then reviews the profile before any company sees it. For this role, the interview checks that they can:

  1. Check 1

    Writes an async Node.js endpoint that handles errors and concurrency correctly in a timed task.

  2. Check 2

    Explains the event loop and how to keep CPU heavy work from blocking requests.

  3. Check 3

    Designs a real time feature with reconnection, scaling across instances and authentication.

Questions about hiring Node.js Developers

What companies ask before they hire a Node.js developer through Cubehire.

Talk to our team
APIs, real time applications, microservices and tooling, especially when your frontend is already JavaScript or TypeScript and you want one language across the stack.
Express is minimal and flexible, which suits small services. NestJS adds structure, dependency injection and conventions that help larger teams. Our developers work in whichever you use.
Many can. If you want one person across both, see our MERN stack and full stack developers.
The interview includes event loop and async questions plus a timed coding task, and profiles note experience with profiling, caching and horizontal scaling.
A flat rate quoted before you interview anyone: a one time fee for full time placements, or a fixed monthly rate for contract work. There is no percentage of salary. See the pricing page for current rates.
