NestJS module engineers
Typed modules, guards, and providers that survive the next feature, not a single controller file that became the API.

Node.js / NestJS developers who ship the service layer
A Node hire is not “JavaScript who can do Express.” iQud engineers ship typed NestJS modules and Node services (REST contracts, queues, and boundaries that survive the next feature), not a single server.js that grew into production.

The Node.js / NestJS seats we actually staff
“Node” is not one job. We match on the service your product needs: the same stacks behind iQud’s live Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB pages.
01 02 Node.js service specialists
HTTP APIs, workers, and real-time paths in TypeScript. The work Node is actually good at, shipped in your repo.
03 Contract-first REST
Versioned routes, validation, and auth in the client session. We will not let one untyped handler folder become production by accident.
04 Queues, retries, and workers
Background jobs treated as product work, idempotent consumers, not a setTimeout that escaped into staging.
05 Data layers the next module can live with
Postgres schemas or Mongo collections designed so the next feature does not fight last quarter’s document shape.
06 When Python, Rails, or a full-stack seat is better
A data-adjacent Python service or a Rails admin still wants a different hire. We will say so on the intro call instead of forcing a Node-only seat.
Tools they open on day one
Every tile is a live iQud technology page. The strip below is the backend catalog around Node.js and NestJS, the same domain these engineers already ship.
Back End
From intro call to a merged PR
A Node.js / NestJS hire should be shipping a route or a module in your repo, not sitting in a two-month onboarding theatre while the service contract stays a rumour.
1 Map the service gap
Express vs Nest, Postgres vs Mongo, seniority, overlap hours, and what “done in 30 days” looks like on the API.
2 Shortlist real engineers
We match available Node / Nest specialists to your brief and share relevant API, queue, or microservice work.
3 You interview
Meet the human who will join standup. Validate how they talk through a versioned route, a failed job, and the last untyped handler they actually owned.
4 First sprint in your tools
Repo access, environments, and a first pull request, typically inside a week once you say go.
Start with one seat. Grow if the backlog says so.
Most clients embed a single Node or Nest engineer first. A pair or a queue split only when the service work actually needs it.
One embedded engineer
A Node.js or NestJS specialist joins your squad, takes direction from your lead, and works in your rituals.

Dedicated Node / Nest seat
A stable owner for the API, a worker fleet, or the module tree, with senior review on the sprint.

Scoped service initiative
A defined slice: Nest migration, a new bounded context, or a queue cutover with contracts already in motion.

Node.js / NestJS hiring rates, in writing
Two ways to staff a Node.js / NestJS engineer. Hourly for spikes and defined tickets. A dedicated monthly seat when you want someone in your standup every day, at a lower effective rate than running the clock.
Hire by the hour
$20/ hour
Flexible Node / Nest capacity for API spikes, reviews, and scoped tickets. You only pay for hours worked.
- Same Node / Nest engineers as a monthly seat
- Best for overflow, a route fix, or a single module
- Start fast, pause when the spike is done
- Billed against actual hours, not a retainer
Best value
Hire for a month
$2,000/ month
A named Node.js / NestJS engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated service capacity, with senior review in the cadence.
A full-time month at $20 is $3,200. This seat is $2,000.
- Named engineer in your repo, environments, and standup
- API and worker work in the same engagement
- Month-to-month. No annual lock-in.
- Lower cost than the same hours billed at $20
Rates are for dedicated Node.js / NestJS engineers (Node, Nest, TypeScript). Seniority mix and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call. We will not quote a stack we do not already ship.
Why product teams staff Node.js / NestJS here
A mediocre Node developer produces a demo that works on their laptop. These engineers produce a service that survives real traffic, real contracts, and your next quarter of routes.
Typed modules, not “JavaScript who can listen on 3000”
They live in Nest providers, Express middleware, and why last week’s 500s came from a handler that should have been a pipe.
Your repo, your cloud, your hours
GIFT City overlap with Europe and the US. Service reviews happen live when your leads are online.
Senior eyes on the sprint
Mid-level speed without unsupervised schema drift. Review is part of the engagement, not an extra SKU.
Ten clients a quarter, on purpose
We do not run a revolving bench. Capacity is limited so the engineer you interview is the one in standup.
Node.js / NestJS hiring questions
Start with one. Most clients embed a single senior or mid-level Node or Nest engineer, then add a pair if the API backlog justifies it.
Both. A Node seat is services, APIs, and workers. A Nest seat is typed modules on top of Node. TypeScript is standard. We will only shortlist engineers on stacks we already ship.
That is a backend hire, not this seat. Say so on the intro call and we will not force a Node-only profile onto a mixed service bench.
After we map the role and you approve the hire, first pull requests typically land within a week, faster when the repo and environments are ready.
Yes. GitHub, Jira, your cloud, your standups. We do not invent a parallel process unless you ask for one.
Hourly ($20) is for spikes and defined tickets. You pay only for hours worked. The monthly seat ($2,000) is a named Node.js / NestJS engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated capacity. The same month billed hourly would be $3,200. Seniority and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call.
Give the product a Node / Nest engineer who can ship the API
Tell us Express vs Nest, the data layer, and the first route you want in production. We’ll come back with a named profile, a start window, and a two-week plan.
