FAQs
Hire Node.js Developers: Common Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about hiring Node.js developers through Salt.
How quickly can I hire Node.js developers through Salt?
You can hire Node.js developers within 1-2 weeks. We present pre-vetted candidates within 2-3 days, you interview and select, and developers can start with a 2-week trial. No lengthy recruitment cycles or months of searching.
What skills do your Node.js developers have?
Our Node.js developers are proficient in Express.js, NestJS, Fastify, TypeScript, database integration (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis), API design (REST, GraphQL), testing (Jest, Mocha), and cloud deployment (AWS, GCP). Many also have experience with microservices, message queues, and real-time systems.
How do you vet Node.js developers before I hire them?
Our vetting includes live coding sessions building APIs and backend services, system design discussions for scalable architectures, code review exercises, and assessment of testing practices. We evaluate database design knowledge, security awareness, and experience with production-scale applications. Only about 3% pass.
Can I hire Node.js developers for my existing team?
Yes, absolutely. When you hire Node.js developers through Salt, they integrate seamlessly with your existing team, processes, and tools. They participate in your standups, code reviews, and planning sessions. We specifically match developers who fit your tech stack and team culture.
Do your Node.js developers know TypeScript?
Yes, TypeScript proficiency is a core skill for our Node.js developers. Most of our backend engineers work with TypeScript daily and can help you set up or migrate to a type-safe codebase. They understand advanced TypeScript patterns like generics, utility types, and strict mode.
What experience level are the Node.js developers I can hire?
Most Node.js developers you can hire through Salt have 4-8+ years of experience building production applications. We categorize developers as Mid-level (3-5 years), Senior (5-8 years), and Staff/Principal (8+ years) based on demonstrated skills, not just tenure.
Can I hire Node.js developers who also handle frontend work?
Yes. Many of our Node.js developers have experience with React or other frontend frameworks and can handle full-stack work. If you need dedicated frontend capacity, we recommend hiring a full-stack developer or a Pod that includes frontend specialists.
What if I need to hire more Node.js developers later?
Scaling is built into our model. Start by hiring one Node.js developer, add more as needed, or transition to a full Pod with additional skills (frontend, QA, DevOps). There's no penalty or friction for scaling up or down.
What time zones do your Node.js developers work in?
Our developers are based in India but maintain 4-6 hours of overlap with US time zones. Many work flexible schedules to align with your team's core hours. We ensure there's enough real-time collaboration for effective teamwork.
