Hire a backend developer for data, jobs, and scale

Frontend polish cannot hide a backend that loses orders, double-charges cards, or falls over when traffic spikes. I own server-side logic — databases, background jobs, permissions, and integrations — so US, UK, and Australia founders can ship products that behave under real use.

What you get

Node.js and NestJS services with clear module boundaries
PostgreSQL-first when relationships and reporting matter; MongoDB when document shape fits
Background jobs, email/SMS hooks, and operational logging — not only HTTP routes
Security basics: env secrets, least-privilege DB users, and audit-friendly admin actions

How engagement works

Clarify domain rules, roles, and which integrations are in scope for v1.
Model data and API contracts before UI polish steals the calendar.
Ship core paths on staging with realistic seed data and failure tests.
Document deploy, backups, and how to rotate keys after handoff.

Who it's for

Choose this when the risk is server-side: payments, multi-tenant data, marketplace payouts, or heavy read/write patterns. Remote delivery for US, UK, and Australia with async status and live calls for architecture calls.

FAQ

Backend only, or full-stack?

Both are available. Backend-only fits when you have a frontend team; full-stack fits when one owner should span UI, API, and deploy.

Can you improve an existing Node backend?

Yes — stabilizing webhooks, tightening auth, adding migrations, and splitting god-routes is common before a feature push.

How do you think about scalability on an MVP budget?

Start with honest indexing, stateless app servers, and clear job queues — not premature microservices. The scalable web guide walks through typical stages.

Typical backend engagement cost?

Meaningful product backends usually start in the full-stack package band from $2,999+. Multi-role SaaS with billing often scopes from $4,999+.
