WeBuildStack is a remote-first software development company in Bengaluru, India, that builds web and mobile applications and the cloud behind them. For a dedicated Node.js engineer you interview first, with a 15-day risk-free trial and a tech lead reviewing every pull request: profiles within 48 hours, a start within one to two weeks, in your timezone. 15+ engineers, 100+ projects.
Backend engineers who design the schema, write the service, add the tests and set up the pipeline that ships it. They work in NestJS, Express and Fastify, know PostgreSQL and Redis well enough to read a query plan, and treat the OpenAPI spec as the contract with your front-end team.
Designing an idempotent webhook handler that survives retries and out-of-order delivery.
Reading a PostgreSQL EXPLAIN plan and choosing the index that fixes it.
Spotting event-loop blocking code and moving the work to a queue or worker thread.
Structuring a NestJS module so validation, auth and business logic stay testable in isolation.
The four ways to add a Node.js engineer, stated fairly. The figures in our row are the ones every page on this site commits to.
| Channel | Time to start | Who reviews the code | Continuity | Trial | Management load |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marketplace freelancers (Upwork, Fiverr) | Days | Nobody unless you arrange it | One person; no replacement | Per contract | You manage everything |
| Vetted-talent networks (Toptal, Lemon.io) | Days to a week | Your lead | Replacement by the network | Usually a trial period | You manage the work |
| Dedicated-team companies (WeBuildStack and others like us) | Profiles in 48 hours; start in one to two weeks | A tech lead reviews every pull request | Replacement guarantee; no minimum term | 15-day risk-free trial | Shared: you direct the backlog, the company handles HR, quality and replacement |
| In-house hire | Months | Your lead | Highest | Probation | Everything, including recruiting |

Gets the service running locally with seeded data and documents every missing environment variable.
Ships an endpoint change with its migration, OpenAPI update and integration tests in one pull request.
Reviews logging, error handling and slow queries, and proposes the first three fixes in writing.

Yes, for a dedicated Node.js engineer you interview first, with a 15-day risk-free trial and a tech lead reviewing every pull request. Profiles within 48 hours, a written monthly rate with them, a replacement guarantee, no recruitment fees and no minimum term; the engineer works in your repositories, stand-ups and hours from Bengaluru, India.
Yes. Our Node.js engineers write the migrations, index strategy and seed data as part of the feature, and review query plans before a release. Prisma or Drizzle for the ORM, raw SQL where it is clearer.
Yes, for the service they own: Dockerfile, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, and a deploy to your AWS, Azure, GCP or Cloudflare account. For a full platform build, we add one of our DevOps engineers to the pod.
Usually within 3 to 7 working days. You interview the shortlisted backend engineers, ideally with a design question from your own API; nobody joins without your approval.
If the engineer is not a fit in the first 15 days, enough time to see their migrations, tests and pull-request discussions, you pay nothing for that period and we replace them or part ways. No lock-in.
Every engineer passes a live coding interview and a take-home review before joining our bench, and a tech lead reviews every pull request they open on your project. Your code never merges on one pair of eyes.
What arrives within 48 hours: two or three matching profiles with code samples, each engineer's availability and earliest start date, and a written monthly rate. You interview before anyone starts.
