Hire NestJS developers who ship to production and stay to run it

You need a NestJS engineer on your team in weeks, not a hiring quarter. We place developers who write the modules, the tests and the deployment pipeline, then keep the service running after launch.

What they do

What a Nest JS Developer from infoloop actually builds.

NestJS API and service development

Modules, controllers, providers and DTOs written the way the framework intends. REST or GraphQL, with validation pipes, error handling and versioning decided before the first endpoint is merged.

Database schema and ORM work

Prisma or TypeORM, migrations that run cleanly on every environment, and queries reviewed for the indexes they actually use. Postgres, MySQL or MongoDB, with seed data for local development.

Authentication and access control

Passport strategies, JWT or session handling, refresh tokens, guards and role checks at the route level. Multi-tenant rules written once and applied consistently, not repeated in every controller.

Background jobs and integrations

Queues, scheduled tasks, webhooks and third-party APIs, with retries, idempotency keys and dead-letter handling. Failed jobs stay visible in a dashboard rather than buried in a log file.

Testing, CI and deployment

Unit tests on the services, end-to-end tests on the routes that carry money or data, and a pipeline that builds, tests and deploys the container. Environment config kept out of the repository.

AI agents and copilots inside your API

Where it fits, we add agent endpoints to your Nest service: model calls, tool definitions, guardrails, logging of every prompt and response, and a switch that turns a feature off without a redeploy.

How it runs

Plan. Build. Run.

01

Start with a 30 minute call

We look at the repository, the roadmap and the deadline you are working to. That call decides the seniority you need, how many engineers, and whether NestJS is the right fit for the work at all.

02

Fixed scope, timeline and price

You get the scope, the timeline and the price in writing before anyone starts. If the work is open-ended, we scope the first block of it and agree what triggers the next one. No hourly surprises.

03

The engineer joins your team

Your tools, your board, your standup. Work arrives as pull requests in your repository with tests and a description of what changed. You review and merge, so nothing lands that your team has not seen.

04

Launch, then we run it

Handover covers the code, the environment variables, the runbook and the deployment steps. If you want us to stay, the managed retainer takes on monitoring, fixes, security updates and a monthly report.

Why infoloop

We do not hand over and leave.

  • We build, then we runMost agencies hand the repository over and disappear. Our managed retainer keeps monitoring, fixes with agreed response targets, security updates and a monthly report going long after launch.
  • No recruitment cycleJob ads, screening and notice periods take months. This route takes a call and a scope document. If the engagement ends, it ends on notice rather than through a redundancy process.
  • The code stays yoursEverything lives in your repository under your accounts from day one. Documentation, runbook and environment notes are written as the work happens, so another engineer can pick it up.
  • Production habits from the startWe write for the day it breaks: structured logs, health checks, alerting and a rollback path. That is how we put AI agents into production, and the same discipline applies to a plain API.
  • One team across the stackWe also build the Webflow and Shopify front ends and the headless CMS behind them. If your Nest API feeds a site or a store, the same team can take on both ends of it.

What you get

Every engagement includes these, in writing, before work starts.

  • A named NestJS engineer working in your repository and your project board
  • A written scope, timeline and price agreed before any code is written
  • Pull requests with unit tests and end-to-end tests on the routes that matter
  • Database migrations that run cleanly from an empty schema upwards
  • A build pipeline that runs the tests and deploys the container
  • OpenAPI documentation and a runbook covering deployment and rollback

Who this is for

Three situations where this is the right call.

The backlog has outgrown your backend team

You have one or two backend engineers and a roadmap sized for four. Hiring takes a quarter you do not have. Adding a NestJS engineer for a fixed block of work clears the queue without changing your headcount plan.

You inherited a NestJS codebase

The person who wrote it has gone. Tests are thin, the modules are tangled and nobody is certain what deploying actually does. You need someone who can read it, document it, and get releases moving again.

You are moving off Express or a monolith

The service started small and grew without structure. You want typed modules, dependency injection and tests, without a rewrite that stops feature work for six months. We would move it in slices, one route group at a time.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

How quickly can a NestJS developer start?
It starts with a 30 minute call with infoloop. On that call we cover the repository, the deadline and the seniority you need, and we come back with a fixed scope, timeline and price. Once that is agreed, an engineer starts in days rather than the months a recruitment cycle takes. We do not put a developer forward unless they are free to begin on the date written into the scope, and we would rather say no to a start date than miss one.
How is a NestJS engagement priced?
infoloop works to a fixed scope, timeline and price rather than an open hourly meter. After the 30 minute call we write down what will be built, when it lands and what it costs, and you approve that before any code is written. Where the work is genuinely open-ended, we scope the first block, agree what counts as done, and price the next block once it is clear. Support after launch sits in a separate monthly retainer, so build costs and running costs never blur together.
Do we own the code the developer writes?
Yes. Everything the engineer writes lives in your repository, under your accounts, from the first commit. That includes migrations, tests, CI configuration and infrastructure files. Documentation and a runbook are written as the work happens rather than assembled at the end, so another developer can take the project over without a briefing from us. There is no proprietary framework, no licence, and nothing that has to be bought from infoloop to keep the service running.
How does a hired developer work with our existing team?
The engineer joins your workflow rather than running a parallel one. That means your board, your branching rules, your standup and your code review. Work arrives as pull requests with tests and a plain description of what changed, and your team reviews and merges them, so nothing reaches production that you have not seen. If you have no backend lead available to review, we put a second reviewer on our side and write that into the scope rather than leaving it unsaid.
What happens after the work is delivered?
You can take the code and run it yourselves. Handover covers deployment steps, environment variables, the runbook and a walkthrough with your team. Or infoloop can keep running it under a managed retainer: monitoring, fixes with agreed response targets, security and dependency updates, small improvements, and a monthly report on what changed. Most backend problems appear weeks after launch, under real traffic, which is why we build the running phase into the plan rather than treating it as an extra.
Can a NestJS developer also build the AI features we want?
Often, yes. We put AI agents and copilots into production with guardrails, monitoring and a rollback path, and a NestJS service is a sensible place to host that: tool definitions, model calls, prompt and response logging, and a feature switch that turns a capability off without a redeploy. If the work needs a specialist alongside the Nest engineer, we say so in the scope rather than stretching one person across both. We also build the Webflow and Shopify front ends that sit in front of APIs like this.
