Start with the work
Building a new API, untangling an existing service or connecting payment and data systems? We shape the shortlist around your Node.js framework, database and integration work. Review relevant project examples before deciding who to interview.
Choose a focused backend engineer or include React, Vue or Angular experience in a full-stack brief. Agree on TypeScript, testing, deployment responsibilities and working-hour overlap so the role fits the team you already have.
Use your interviews to explore API design, slow requests, background jobs and failure handling. You choose the engineer, define the first delivery goals and review communication and fit during the agreed trial.
Technical fit
Tell us which skills are essential and which can be learned on the job. We match the search to your responsibilities, then your team evaluates the shortlist.

“Val came through for us big time. He provided us with top-tier engineers very quickly.”

“We were impressed with their cost, speed, and having a US-based interface.”

Before you decide
Node.js staff augmentation starts at $45/hr on month-to-month terms. Your quote depends on the engineer’s experience, responsibilities and agreed schedule. Direct recruitment is a separate $7,999 placement service; the engineer’s compensation is additional. Confirm scope and terms before hiring.
Odesa reports an average of 4.2 days from contract to interview across its engagements. This is not a guaranteed start date for this role. Candidate availability, your interview process and notice periods determine the onboarding timeline.
They work remotely: offshore from the EU and Eastern Europe, or nearshore from Latin America, with overlap on US hours agreed before the start. You contract with Odesa.co, a US company in Lighthouse Point, Florida, so terms, billing and support stay in the US. If the role must be on-site or hybrid, direct recruitment covers that.
We focus on senior engineers and match the shortlist to the responsibilities of your role. Review each candidate’s production experience, code quality and communication in your technical interview. Years of experience alone are not a substitute for experience with systems like yours.
Yes. A dedicated engineer can work within your team’s tools, coding standards and delivery process. Agree on onboarding, working-hour overlap, code ownership and review responsibilities before the start date. Your team sets priorities, with Odesa as your point of contact throughout the engagement.
Specify Express, NestJS or your existing framework in the brief. Ask candidates to explain API authentication, database access, background jobs and how they investigate slow requests. Include an event-loop blocking scenario and a production incident discussion to assess backend judgment beyond framework familiarity. If the role includes the product interface, compare the frontend responsibilities with our React developers.
Staff augmentation includes a two-week trial under the agreed engagement terms. Review communication, technical fit and delivery against your initial goals. Confirm trial billing, notice and replacement terms before the engineer starts. Direct recruitment has a separate 90-day replacement guarantee, subject to the placement agreement.
