What to look for in a Node.js freelancer
A strong Node.js developer should understand async patterns, API design, and how to keep a service stable in production, not just wiring up routes. Look for:
- A firm grip on async and event loops, not just callback and promise syntax.
- Experience with your stack: Express, NestJS, Fastify, plus PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
- Sound API design: clear contracts, validation, error handling, and versioning.
- Production instincts: logging, monitoring, queues, and graceful failure.
- A portfolio of live backends, not just tutorial projects.
Ask how they handled a service that started slowing down under traffic. The story shows whether they have run real systems, not just built them.
