About the role
A Node.js developer is responsible for writing server-side web application logic in JavaScript and/or variants of it, such as CoffeeScript, IcedCoffeeScript, etc. Node.js developers usually develop back-end components, connect the application with the other (often third-party) web services, and support the front-end developers by integrating their work with the Node.js application.
Writing a good job description and advertisement for a Node.js developer requires proper separation of concerns. When you are looking for an advanced Node.js developer, posting a generic web developer description in your job ad will bring numerous applications from people who are specialized in building front-end user interfaces, or web designers who have little knowledge about programming.
Node.js relies on the same languages and technologies that are used in front-end development work, which makes it difficult to distinguish between the two areas of expertise. This article will provide you with a sample Node.js developer job description that will help you write a perfect job ad, and assure that you easily find and hire the person that matches your criteria.
