Role details
What does a dedicated Node.js Developer do?
A Node.js developer at Codalyst Tech builds the API layer and real-time infrastructure that connects frontend products to databases and third-party services. They are the engineers behind the event-driven architecture choices — WebSocket servers, Redis pub/sub, and serverless edge functions — that keep products fast and horizontally scalable under variable load. Their TypeScript discipline and security-first defaults mean that API surfaces are safe and self-documented from day one.
- Build RESTful and GraphQL APIs with Express, Fastify, or NestJS serving web and mobile clients at scale
- Implement real-time features using Socket.io or Server-Sent Events for live data feeds and collaborative tools
- Design event-driven microservice communication with Redis pub/sub or RabbitMQ message queues
- Write TypeScript across the entire Node.js codebase with strict type coverage, path aliases, and no `any` in API contracts
- Configure rate limiting, input validation, JWT authentication, and security headers as production defaults
- Deploy serverless Node.js functions on AWS Lambda or Vercel Edge with cold-start time optimisation
Scope of work
What your Node.js Developer will build
- RESTful and GraphQL APIs with Express, Fastify, or NestJS serving mobile and web frontends at scale
- Real-time applications using Socket.io for live chat, collaborative document editing, or live dashboards
- Event-driven microservices communicating via Redis pub/sub or RabbitMQ message queues
- Serverless Node.js functions on AWS Lambda or Vercel Edge for low-latency API routes with sub-100ms cold starts
Vetting process
How we screen Node.js Developer candidates
Event loop understanding
Can explain libuv, the microtask/macrotask queue difference, and why blocking the event loop with synchronous I/O is dangerous in production.
Error handling patterns
Uses typed error classes, async/await try-catch with proper propagation, and global unhandledRejection handlers — never swallows errors silently.
Security fundamentals
Applies rate limiting, input sanitisation, JWT validation, and Helmet headers as defaults — without needing to be reminded.
TypeScript in Node.js
Uses strict TypeScript with path aliases, proper module declarations, and avoids `any` in API contract types.
Interview guidance
Interview questions to ask your Node.js Developer
How would you prevent memory leaks in a long-running Node.js process that handles thousands of WebSocket connections?
Why ask: Tests understanding of event emitter cleanup, WeakMap usage, and heap profiling.
Walk me through how you'd implement cursor-based pagination for an endpoint returning millions of rows.
Why ask: Reveals cursor vs offset pagination knowledge and database-level query optimisation.
How would you structure a Node.js monorepo with shared TypeScript packages for API, workers, and CLI tools?
Why ask: Tests workspace tooling knowledge (Turborepo, PNPM) and module boundary discipline.
