Hire Node.js developers
Backend developers who build APIs, integrations and background jobs in TypeScript on Node.js, with tests and monitoring included in the work.
What a Tankar Node.js developer does
Designs and builds the API, the data model and the background jobs behind a product, and treats retries, idempotency and observability as part of the feature rather than a later hardening pass.
Where Node.js is the right choice
One language across the front end and the API, a large integration ecosystem, and good throughput on work that is mostly waiting on other systems. For heavy numerical work or long-running data processing, we will point you at Python instead.
How the engagement is set up
Named developers on your board and in your repository, a weekly demo, and access issued per person under the ISO 27001 process and revoked when the engagement ends.

Questions buyers ask
What buyers ask before they add a developer on this stack.
Can they work with our existing database and API?
Yes. Week one is reading the schema, running the service locally and shipping one small change, so the first real ticket is not also the first build.
Do they handle integrations with payment providers and ERPs?
Yes. Integration work is most of what a backend developer does in practice, and the ones we place are asked in the interview to explain how they handled retries, duplicates and a provider outage.
TypeScript or plain JavaScript?
TypeScript by default, including on existing JavaScript codebases, where types are added file by file rather than in one large rewrite.
Can one developer cover front end as well?
Sometimes, and we will say so honestly rather than sell you a full-stack label. For a product with real front-end work, a Next.js developer alongside is usually cheaper than one person switching context.
