Hire Developers

    Hire Node.js developers for backends that hold up in production

    AMT's Node.js developers build APIs, real-time services and backend systems, and fix the ones that slow down under load. Node.js is one of AMT's core engineering stacks. Hire one Node.js developer into your team or several, with an AMT technical lead accountable for the quality of what they ship, from Bengaluru or Kochi.

    Your first conversation will be with a senior technical partner, not a salesperson.

    Is your Node.js version still supported?

    The Node.js project advises running production only on long-term support (LTS) lines. Status from nodejs.org, checked 9 October 2026:

    18 and 20End of lifeNo security fixes. Upgrade before anything else
    22LTSSafe for production
    24LTSSafe for production, and the line to start new services on

    The Node.js production check

    Eight questions to ask about any Node.js backend before it carries real traffic. If you answer "no" or "not sure" to three or more, that is the first job for whoever you hire.

    1. Does anything CPU-heavy run on the main thread? Image processing, large JSON transforms or crypto there will block every other request. It belongs in worker threads or a separate service.
    2. Do unhandled promise rejections crash loudly and get logged? Silent failures are the most common Node.js production bug.
    3. Does the service shut down gracefully? Open requests and queue messages should finish before a deploy kills the process.
    4. Are logs structured, with a request ID on every line? Otherwise you cannot trace one user's failure across services.
    5. Is there rate limiting and input validation on every public endpoint?
    6. Are dependencies audited automatically? npm packages are the biggest security surface in most Node.js apps.
    7. Are secrets kept out of the code and the repository?
    8. Can you see latency, error rate and event loop delay in a dashboard today?

    Node.js or Go?

    AMT works in both, so the answer is not a sales pitch.

    Node.js or Go?
    Choose Node.js whenChoose Go when
    The work is mostly I/O: APIs, database calls, real-time messagingThe service is CPU-bound or must handle very high concurrency on little memory
    Your team already writes JavaScript or TypeScript on the front endYou want a single static binary that is simple to ship and run
    You need a large package ecosystem for integrationsPredictable latency under load matters more than development speed

    How AMT keeps it accountable

    Every AMT Node.js hire has an AMT technical lead behind them, works under ISO 27001 controls, and is covered by the replacement terms on /hire.

    FAQ

    How much does it cost to hire a Node.js developer in India?

    We quote after a 30-minute technical discovery call, so the price reflects the role, seniority and overlap you actually need.

    Which Node.js version should production run?

    An LTS line. As of October 2026 that means Node.js 22 or 24. Node.js 18 and 20 are end of life and no longer get security fixes.

    Can a NodeJS developer also build the front end?

    Many can. For React and Next.js front ends, see /hire/react-developers.

    Can you take over an existing Node.js codebase?

    Yes. AMT's maintenance team uses a seven-point takeover checklist, published on /services/application-maintenance-support.

    Is Node.js good for real-time applications?

    Yes. Its event-driven model handles many open connections well, which suits chat, notifications and live dashboards. CPU-heavy work should be moved off the main thread.
