This is not a single opening. When a US company asks for this skill, we introduce engineers from the network. Active client openings are on LinkedIn.

What this work is

You build and keep Node.js APIs and workers for a US product team. Other teams call what you ship, so a change includes the error path and a test, not only the happy path.

What you do on the team

On a placement, this is the work the US team expects.

  • Build and keep Node.js APIs and workers other teams call
  • Include the error path, not only the happy path
  • Cover the change with a test
  • Use AI tools to draft a handler or a test, then review the behavior before it ships
  • Review pull requests in their CI
  • Ship through their deploy, and be able to roll it back

The stack

  • Node.js
  • REST or GraphQL
  • PostgreSQL, MySQL, or the store the service uses
  • The test runner in the repo
  • The deploy the team can roll back

What we look for

  • Node.js services in production
  • REST or GraphQL that other teams call
  • PostgreSQL, MySQL, or a document store
  • 5 or more years as a software engineer

How we check

We review work you have shipped. A keyword on a resume is not enough. You need advanced or fluent English. You will be in standups, code reviews, and Slack with a US team. You use AI tools to draft a handler or a test, then you review the behavior before it ships. Every engineer is assessed on the four-level AI fluency scale before a client meets them. See the four levels.

How a placement runs

You join the client team and work in their repo, their standups, and their code reviews. You work US business hours from Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, or Uruguay. The placement is almost always a full-time contract. You are paid the same amount every month in US dollars. The monthly invoice is for bookkeeping. Candidates never pay to apply or to join.
