Hire Senior JavaScript Developers Who Own the Entire Stack

JavaScript is the only language that runs everywhere — browser, server, mobile, edge. A senior JavaScript engineer who truly masters it can own your entire product stack: the React front-end, the Node.js API, the TypeScript types that connect them, and the Next.js SSR layer that makes it all rank in search. Finding that engineer is the hard part.

We make it easy. Our JavaScript developers have built the full-stack systems that power Fortune 500 platforms, high-growth unicorn SaaS products, and e-commerce brands generating hundreds of millions in annual revenue — in your time zone, in English, at 50% of US market rates.

What Our JavaScript Developers Build

Full-Stack JavaScript Applications

End-to-end product development in a single language — React or Next.js on the front-end, Node.js and Express or NestJS on the back-end, TypeScript throughout. Our JavaScript engineers eliminate the coordination overhead between front-end and back-end specialists by owning the entire stack.

React & Next.js Web Applications

High-performance consumer and enterprise web applications with React, Next.js App Router, server components, and edge rendering. Our JavaScript engineers build experiences that load fast, rank in search, and convert visitors into customers.

Node.js APIs & Microservices

RESTful and GraphQL APIs, event-driven microservices with Kafka, real-time WebSocket servers — our JavaScript engineers build Node.js backends that scale to millions of requests without the event-loop bottlenecks that trip up junior implementations.

TypeScript-First Development

Typed JavaScript is the industry standard for maintainable codebases. Our JavaScript engineers write TypeScript by default — typed components, typed API contracts, typed database queries — so your codebase stays coherent as your team grows.

Browser Performance & Core Web Vitals

Bundle optimization, code splitting, lazy loading, image optimization, and Core Web Vitals tuning. Our JavaScript engineers treat page speed as a business metric — because it directly impacts SEO rankings, conversion rates, and user retention.

Client Success Story: Real-Time Financial Dashboard for a Series B Fintech

A Series B fintech needed a sophisticated financial reporting dashboard with real-time portfolio analytics, multi-currency P&L calculations, and drill-down transaction views for enterprise customers managing nine-figure portfolios. Our JavaScript engineers built the full-stack solution using Next.js for the front-end and a Node.js API with WebSocket-driven real-time data feeds. The product went live in fourteen weeks, immediately enabled the enterprise sales team to close deals that had been stalled on product gaps, and became the centerpiece of the company’s Series C pitch materials.

Client Success Story: JavaScript Performance Overhaul for a Global Logistics Platform

A global logistics platform serving thousands of enterprise shippers had a JavaScript front-end that had grown over six years into an unmaintainable mix of jQuery, legacy Backbone.js, and ad-hoc module patterns. Engineers were spending more time debugging state bugs than shipping features. Our JavaScript engineers migrated the platform incrementally to a React and Zustand architecture with a clean API integration layer. Bundle size dropped 58%. Page interaction response times improved from 800ms to 90ms. The engineering team went from shipping two features per sprint to six — on a codebase that now handles billions of dollars in annual shipment value.

Why Companies Choose Our JavaScript Developers

  • Full-stack ownership: They don’t hand off between front-end and back-end — they own the entire JavaScript product surface, which means faster shipping and fewer integration bugs
  • TypeScript by default: Every component, API handler, and database query is typed — type errors caught at compile time don’t become production incidents
  • Performance-first mindset: Our engineers treat Core Web Vitals and bundle size as first-class engineering metrics, not afterthoughts
  • Modern JavaScript fluency: React Server Components, edge rendering, streaming SSR, ES2023+ — our engineers stay current with the rapidly evolving JavaScript ecosystem
  • 50% cost savings: Fully-burdened rates including salary, benefits, taxes, and HR

Engagement Models

  • Individual JavaScript Engineer — One senior JS developer embedded in your existing team. Ideal for full-stack feature delivery, performance work, or owning a specific product area end-to-end.
  • Full-Stack JS Pods (2–4 engineers) — Front-end and back-end JavaScript engineers working as a coordinated squad with QA coverage. Ideal for teams building new product surfaces or modernizing a legacy front-end.
  • Full JavaScript Teams (5–20+ engineers) — Complete engineering organizations built around the JavaScript ecosystem: React front-end, Node.js back-end, TypeScript throughout. For platforms where JS is the primary stack.
  • Contract-to-Hire JS Engineers — Evaluate a JavaScript developer in your actual codebase before committing to a permanent hire. You’ll have a clear read on output quality and culture fit within weeks.

How To Vet JavaScript Developers

Our JavaScript vetting filters for engineers who understand the runtime, not just the framework. The four-stage process:

  1. Technical screening — JavaScript internals (event loop, microtask/macrotask queues, closure memory behavior, ESM vs. CommonJS), TypeScript fluency, front-end performance fundamentals, and Node.js concurrency patterns. Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
  2. Take-home exercise — Build a full-stack feature with a React front-end and Node.js API. We evaluate type safety, error handling, test coverage, code organization, and production readiness — not just “does it work.”
  3. Live technical interview — System design, performance debugging with browser DevTools and bundle analyzers, and a code review session on a realistic codebase with real issues embedded.
  4. Communication and self-direction screening — Remote work requires async communication, clear status updates, and the ability to unblock yourself. We assess this explicitly, not as an afterthought.

What to Look for When Hiring JavaScript Developers

Senior JavaScript engineers understand the language at the runtime level — not just the framework sitting on top of it.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

  • They explain the event loop intuitively: why a resolved Promise.then() callback runs before setTimeout(fn, 0), and what that means for UI responsiveness and task scheduling
  • They use TypeScript because it improves their code — not because it’s mandated — and they write types that encode real domain constraints rather than annotating everything any
  • They’ve profiled real JavaScript performance issues with Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, and bundle analyzers — finding actual bottlenecks, not just reproducing tutorial examples
  • They have reasoned opinions on state management: they don’t default to Redux for every project, and they can explain when Zustand, React Query, or local component state is the right choice

Red flags to watch for:

  • Conflating React with JavaScript — candidates who cannot reason about the language outside of a specific framework context
  • No experience testing asynchronous code — mocking timers, testing custom hooks, handling API calls in tests
  • Treating any as a routine TypeScript escape hatch rather than a last resort requiring justification
  • Never having investigated a memory leak or performance regression in a production application

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

  • “Walk me through how the event loop handles a setTimeout(fn, 0) alongside a resolved Promise.then(). Which callback runs first, and why?”
  • “How would you diagnose and fix a memory leak in a long-running single-page React application?”
  • “What are the tradeoffs between Next.js App Router SSR and client-side rendering for a data-heavy analytics dashboard serving thousands of concurrent users?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your JavaScript developers work with TypeScript?
Yes — TypeScript is the default for all our JavaScript engineers. They configure TypeScript strictly, write fully typed code across the entire stack, and treat any as a code smell. If your codebase is currently JavaScript-only, they can work within it and introduce TypeScript incrementally.
Are your JavaScript developers front-end specialists or full-stack?
Both — and we’ll match you with the profile that fits your need. We have engineers who specialize in front-end React development, those who focus on Node.js backend systems, and genuinely full-stack engineers who own both sides. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll find the right match.
Can your JavaScript developers work with our existing React or Node.js codebase?
Absolutely. Our JavaScript engineers are experienced inheriting, auditing, and improving existing codebases. They’ll contribute immediately while improving test coverage, refactoring for maintainability, and modernizing patterns incrementally — without breaking production.
How quickly can a JavaScript developer start?
Most JavaScript engineers can begin within 1–2 weeks. You interview and approve every candidate before any engagement starts.
