# node.js developers delivery and operations

What does this hub cover for nearshore teams?

Use this collection to plan how a Node.js hire joins your release cycle. It covers the steps between choosing a candidate and giving that person ownership of a service.

Start with the work you expect the developer to ship. For an existing API, that might be a small endpoint change with tests and a rollback plan. For a new service, agree on the first usable scope before setting a release date.

Write down who approves access and who reviews the first pull request. Include the hours when the hire can reach both people. If you plan to hire senior Node.js developers, define which design decisions they can make without waiting for approval.

Treat shared hours as a schedule to confirm with the candidate. Bogotá stays at UTC-5 throughout the year, while Buenos Aires stays at UTC-3. Neither city observes daylight saving time. US clock changes can still shift the meeting time for your team. Check the time zone rules, then agree on working hours in both locations.

Which entries should you read first?

Choose the guide that answers the decision blocking your hire.

• Hiring timelines: Start here when a launch depends on the developer's arrival. Separate selection from the first working day, and ask about notice periods before committing release work.
• Time zone overlap: Read this before setting interview requirements for offshore Node.js developers. Define the hours needed for code review and incidents, then check the schedule across seasonal clock changes.
• 30/60/90-day onboarding: Use this when the role is approved and a manager can own onboarding. Prepare repository access, a local setup guide and a first task that the team can review.
• Scaling to a team: Read this before adding more hires. Decide how to divide service ownership and who will review work as the team grows.

If you are still deciding what the person will own, start with the role scorecard. A developer maintaining an API needs a different assignment from someone leading a migration. Resolve that scope before using a delivery date to judge candidates.

Bring the chosen guide into the hiring discussion. Ask the engineering manager to record the first deliverable and its acceptance criteria. Ask the provider to confirm the proposed start date and working hours in writing. Use those commitments to plan the first release.
