Client Reviews

What clients say about our engineers

"

Our Node.js developer from Nexcode designed and built a microservices API handling 2M requests per day. The NestJS architecture they chose has scaled without modification for 18 months. Exceptional backend engineering.

Hiring questions

Common questions before hiring.

Hire Now β†’
How quickly can I hire a Node.js Developer?+
We can match you with a vetted senior Node.js Developer within 24–48 hours. Onboarding takes another 1–2 days. Most clients have their developer writing code within a week of first contact.
Is there a trial period?+
Yes β€” every engagement starts with a 2-week risk-free trial. If you're not satisfied with the developer's work or communication, we replace them at no cost or issue a full refund.
What's the hourly rate for a Node.js Developer?+
Our senior Node.js Developers typically cost $45–$75/hour depending on specialisation and engagement length. Full-time dedicated rates are lower than part-time. We quote fixed monthly rates as well.
Do you offer full-time or part-time?+
Both. Part-time (20 hrs/week) from $30/hr, full-time dedicated (40 hrs/week) from $45/hr, or team pods of 2–10 developers. Monthly billing available.
Who owns the code they write?+
100% you. Full IP transfer on everything your developer writes. Your repositories, your credentials, your infrastructure. We sign a work-for-hire agreement before any work begins.
