One API for web and mobile
A typed API that a website and a mobile app both call, with the business rules in one place and clear error responses the clients can rely on.

How do I hire Node.js developers in Bangladesh?
Hiring node.js developers through BetterSoftZ means engaging engineers employed in Dhaka who work exclusively on your product on a monthly agreement. They work in your repository and sprint process, you meet them before the engagement starts, and all code and infrastructure remain yours.
What we put them on.
- APIs shared between web and mobile apps
- Real-time features such as tracking and notifications
- Integration services between systems that cannot talk directly
- Background job and queue processing
What do Node.js developers usually build?
Real-time features
Live tracking, notifications and status updates over WebSockets or server-sent events, designed for clients that drop and reconnect on mobile data.
Integration services
Small services that sit between systems that cannot talk directly, translating formats and retrying safely when one side is down.
Queues and payments
Background jobs for email, SMS and reconciliation, and payment gateway flows where every confirmation is re-checked and processed once. The Northern Marathon 2026 system used Redis, BullMQ and SSLCommerz this way.
What does a typical team look like?
Node work is often one or two back-end engineers paired with your front-end or mobile team. For queue-heavy or payment-heavy systems we suggest adding a second engineer early, so that reviews and on-call knowledge are not held by one person.
What should you check in an interview?
- Ask how they handle errors in asynchronous code so that one failed job does not take the process down.
- Ask what idempotent means for a payment callback, and how they would build one.
- Ask how they would find out why a service is slow in production.
- Ask how they validate input at the edge of an API.
Where this stack is the wrong choice.
Node suits IO-heavy work. For CPU-heavy processing we would recommend a different runtime rather than forcing it.
How does the engagement work?
Hiring developers here normally means the dedicated team model: a named squad works only on your product for a monthly fee, and you decide scope sprint by sprint. There is a three-month minimum, then it runs month to month. Two other models exist, and the right one depends on how settled the work is.
Dedicated team
Best when the roadmap runs past one release and priorities shift. This is what hiring developers usually means.
Fixed price
Better when you can specify the whole project up front and want one figure with milestone payments, rather than engineers by the month.
Time and materials
Suits discovery, audits and support, billed against time worked with a cap agreed in advance.
Under every model, source code and infrastructure accounts are yours, you get working software on a staging link every two weeks, and you get written progress notes each week.
How does onboarding work?
- 1
Brief
You describe the work, the roadmap and how your sprints run. We propose a squad shape that fits, not a standard package.
- 2
Meet the engineers
You see CVs, then speak to the people proposed. If someone is not right, we propose another rather than defend the first choice.
- 3
Access
Each engineer gets a named account in your repository, tracker and chat, in accounts you own. We suggest giving only the access the work needs.
- 4
A small first task
We suggest the first task is small but real: a change that goes through your whole pipeline to staging, so any friction in the process shows up before large work begins.
- 5
Steady rhythm
Regular sprints, written weekly notes, and a notice period and handover plan that were agreed in the contract before anyone started.
How much do working hours overlap with ours?
Dhaka is GMT+6 and Bangladesh does not currently use daylight saving, so the offset only moves when your clocks do. That makes the overlap simple arithmetic. Dhaka is 6 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 5 in summer, so a morning in the UK is already afternoon in Dhaka. It is 10 to 11 hours ahead of US Eastern time, so overlap with the US is the end of the Dhaka day. Australia is 4 to 5 hours ahead of Dhaka, which leaves a large shared window.
We recommend agreeing a core overlap window in writing at the start, for stand-ups and reviews, and letting everything else run asynchronously through the tracker and written notes. Tell us your hours in the brief and we will say plainly how much overlap that gives you.
Engagement
Common questions
Do your Node developers use NestJS or plain Express and Fastify?
Both are used. NestJS gives a larger team a shared structure. A lighter framework such as Fastify suits a small service. We recommend one based on how big the team and the codebase will become.
Can they integrate a payment gateway?
Yes. For Northern Marathon 2026 we integrated SSLCommerz so that the gateway callback, the browser redirect and a reconciliation job could all report the same payment, with each one re-validated with the gateway and processed once.
Can the same engineers work on the front end?
Many Node engineers also write TypeScript on the client, but we propose separate people when the work needs depth on both sides, because a stretched engineer is slower on both.
How quickly can node.js developers start?
Typically two to three weeks from agreement, depending on the seniority mix. We would rather propose a start date we can hold than promise next Monday and put whoever happens to be free on your product.
Can we interview the engineers first?
Yes, and we recommend it. You see CVs, then speak to the people proposed. If someone is not right for your team, we propose someone else rather than pushing the original choice.
What if we need to scale the team up or down?
Scaling up takes a few weeks for the right person. Scaling down follows the notice period in the agreement. Neither requires renegotiating the whole contract.
What does it cost?
A monthly rate per engineer, set by seniority and agreed before start, with no separate recruitment or onboarding fee. We quote after understanding the work, because a team shape proposed without that is guesswork.
Who manages the engineers day to day?
You do. You set priorities, review the work and run the sprint. The engineers are employed by BetterSoftZ in Dhaka, and the agreement sets out how a handover works if someone leaves or must be replaced.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do. Source code and work product belong to you on payment, and repositories, hosting and third-party services run in accounts you own, so you never depend on us to reach your own system.
Tell us what the team needs to cover.
We will propose a squad shape, name the engineers, and set a start date we can actually hold.
