About Node.js Developer roles at ApTask
What Node frameworks are most common?
Express is still widespread. Fastify has gained traction. NestJS is the enterprise pick for teams that want opinionated structure + TypeScript-first. Serverless roles often use plain Lambda handlers.
Is Node.js a full-stack role or backend-only?
Both kinds exist. Backend-only roles focus on APIs and services; full-stack roles pair Node with React or Vue on the frontend. Search the board for 'full-stack' to see the combined roles.
What database patterns are used?
PostgreSQL is the most common relational choice. MongoDB for document-heavy workloads. Redis for caching + queues. Prisma or Drizzle for ORM in TypeScript-first teams.
Are Node.js roles remote?
About half are remote or hybrid. Node.js roles skew slightly more remote than average.
How do Node.js Developer rates compare with national wage data?
The closest occupation the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks for Node.js Developer roles is software developers, which had a median annual wage of 135,980 US dollars in May 2025 (BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook, page last modified August 27, 2026). BLS reports the median wage of all employees in that occupation nationwide; the amounts elsewhere on this page are whatever each ApTask posting or FAQ answer states for itself, so read the BLS figure as national context rather than a like-for-like comparison.
