Ways to engage

Pick the shape that fits your workload.

Dedicated Developer

One senior Node.js engineer, full time on your backend and nothing else.

  • Full-time focus on your APIs, services, and integrations
  • Works in your repo, your board, your deployment pipeline
  • Daily standups inside your timezone window
  • Senior code review from our side on every PR
  • Load and error monitoring checks on everything shipped

Part-Time Block

A fixed weekly block of senior Node.js hours for steady backend workloads.

  • Reserved weekly hours, same engineer every week
  • API fixes, integrations, and dependency updates handled
  • Overlap window with US and UK hours
  • Monthly report of shipped work

Project-Based

A scoped backend build with a defined outcome, timeline, and handoff.

  • Fixed scope agreed before work starts
  • Milestone demos against a staging environment
  • Load testing and security review before launch
  • Documented handoff, your infrastructure, your code

How we vet

Five stages before anyone touches your code.

  1. Portfolio and code review

    We read real backend code before we talk: API design, error handling, database queries, and how the candidate structures services.

  2. Technical interview

    A senior engineer covers the event loop, async patterns, data modeling, and API security. Production questions, not trivia.

  3. Paired build exercise

    The candidate builds a real endpoint against a real database with one of our engineers, including validation and the unhappy paths.

  4. Communication check

    Written and spoken English, async updates, and whether they can explain an architecture decision to a non-technical founder.

  5. Supervised first sprint

    The first two weeks run under senior review. Every PR gets a second set of eyes before it reaches your branch.

Why us

What you get with WitsCode that a staffing bench can't give you.

  • Your hours, not ours

    Our working day is built around overlap with US and UK business hours. Standups, incident calls, and reviews happen while you are awake, and a failing API does not wait for tomorrow.

  • An engineering studio, not a bench

    You are not renting an idle contractor from a staffing list. Every Node.js engineer works inside the delivery system we built across 300+ launches: code review, staging environments, and QA gates that do not depend on any one person.

  • Senior skill, sensible cost

    We are based in India, so a senior backend engineer costs a fraction of an equivalent US or UK hire. The saving comes from geography, not from cutting seniority, process, or code quality.

Frequently asked

Questions before you reach out.

Most Node.js engagements start within three to five business days of a signed agreement, because we propose engineers who already cleared our five-stage vetting instead of opening a recruitment cycle. You share the repo and the backlog, interview the profile we put forward, and the first sprint starts the same week.

REST and GraphQL APIs, microservices, real-time features over WebSockets, background job systems, and the backends behind React and Next.js frontends. Most of the work is production plumbing: authentication, payments, third-party integrations, and the database layer. If your product talks to a server, this is the engineer who owns that server.

Yes, inherited backends are a regular part of the work. We start with a structured audit covering dependencies, security patches, test coverage, and the deployment pipeline, then fix in order of risk rather than rewriting for its own sake. You get a written picture of what we found before any large refactor starts.

Yes, every engagement includes a guaranteed overlap window with US and UK business hours, which is when standups, demos, and pairing sessions happen. Deep focus work runs in the remaining hours, so you often wake up to finished tickets. The window is agreed before the start and stays fixed.

You do, fully and from day one. Code lives in your repositories, services deploy to cloud accounts you control, and every credential stays in your hands. The agreement you sign before work starts assigns all deliverables to you, so ending the engagement never puts your backend at risk.

We replace the engineer at no extra cost and manage the handover ourselves, usually within one week. Because every developer works inside our shared standards and review process, the replacement inherits documented services instead of a mystery codebase. You will not repeat onboarding or lose sprint momentum.
