Hire Node.js developers for your team in Singapore

A developer should be able to explain how a service behaves when requests fail, traffic grows or a database query slows down. Look for practical habits in their code as well as familiarity with Node.js.

• Event loopMove image processing or large reports to workers, queues or separate services so they do not block other requests.
• Async workHandle rejected promises and use timeouts and retries when calling unreliable APIs.
• API designValidate inputs, use consistent routes and status codes, and return errors that client apps can handle.
• SecurityUse hashed passwords, rate limiting and parameterised queries, and check npm dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
• Data and testingUnderstand indexes and transactions, test business logic and API endpoints, and keep secrets outside the code.

The developers we provide already work on our client projects. You direct the priorities, and we review a shared backlog with you as the work progresses.

1. 01

   Choose capacity

   A full-time plan suits an ongoing product backlog; part-time or hour-based work fits maintenance and work that arrives in bursts.

2. 02

   Set up the work

   Developers join your repository, tickets and stand-ups. We agree the hours of overlap before work starts.

3. 03

   Start with a real task

   We set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, and choose a small task that touches the main parts of the system.

4. 04

   Confirm ownership

   We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you, so the agreement is clear before development proceeds.

5. 05

   Adjust the plan

   You can scale capacity up or down or pause it when your needs change.

A paint and coatings group with a corporate website, for example, needs a plan for any personal data its development team accesses. Where work involves transferring personal data from Singapore to India, the transfer needs protection comparable to that under the PDPA. We set up individual accounts with the least access needed, starting with staging, and document the recipient’s protection obligations and permitted destination countries in the transfer contract.

A few written decisions give a developer useful work to start and give your team a way to review it.

• Rank the backlog or prepare a first set of well-described tasks.
• Share the architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, and instructions for running the project locally.
• Define donestate the review rules, expected tests and who approves deployment.
• Keep code reviews in place from the start to catch misunderstandings and establish standards.
• Make tasks ready before hiring, so the developer is not waiting for work.
