When seeking to hire a Node.js developer, here are a few good questions to ask in a technical interview:

Question 1: What is an error-first callback in Node.js?

An error-first callback is a callback function. It is used to pass errors and data. It follows a specific convention of taking an error object as the first argument, providing information about an asynchronous operation's outcome. If there is no error, the error object will be null.

Question 2: Explain what buffers are in Node.js and what they are used for.

Buffers in Node.js are a way of handling binary data in JavaScript. A buffer is a temporary memory mainly used by the stream to hold onto some data until it is consumed.

They are similar to arrays of integers but correspond to a raw memory allocation outside the JavaScript heap.

Buffers are used to represent a fixed-size chunk of memory allocated outside of the V8 JavaScript engine. It is like an array of integers representing a byte of data, and they can't be resized.

Buffers also support legacy encodings like ASCII, UTF-8, and others.

Question 3: Provide an example of utilizing async-await in Node.js.

An example of using async-await pattern:

Question 4: Explain how the workflow looks in Node.js.

The clients send requests to the webserver to interact with the web application. These requests can be non-blocking or blocking and used for querying, deleting, or updating the data. Node.js receives the incoming requests and adds them to the Event Queue.

After that, the requests are passed through the Event Loop. It checks if the requests are simple enough not to require external resources. The event loop then processes the simple requests (non-blocking operations), such as I/O Polling, and returns the responses to the corresponding clients.

A thread from the Thread Pool is assigned to a single complex request. This thread is responsible for completing a particular blocking request by accessing external resources, such as computation, database, file system, etc. Once the task is completed, the response is sent to the Event Loop, that sends that response back to the client.

This approach allows Node.js applications to handle many concurrent connections and perform multiple I/O operations simultaneously, making it suitable for high-performance, high-concurrency scenarios, such as real-time web apps and APIs, chat applications, and online games.

Question 5: What is "Callback hell", and what are the ways to avoid it?

"Callback hell" refers to heavily nested callbacks that have become unwieldy or unreadable. Modularization, premises, and generators can fix the callback hell. Modularization breaks callbacks into independent functions; however, a better solution presents itself as premises in some situations.

With generators, there is no problem, but with more straightforward examples like these, it would be overkill to use them.

An example of heavily nested code is below:

Developers in the Torc community set their own rates. The three primary factors that determine the cost of a Remix developer are:

1. Experience - Everyone would prefer a senior developer but, let's be honest, 10+ years of experience isn't always required. If you consider the work the developer will be doing and the amount of support within your existing team they'll have access to, you might be better served with one or two junior Remix developers over one senior developer.
2. Skill mix - Marketplaces operate under normal supply and demand dynamics. Developer rates often increase with more niche, complex, or in-demand skill requirements.
3. Geography - While remote work has flattened the geographic pay disparity to some degree, where your developer lives does factor into their cost. In 2022, the median rate for Torc developers in Latin America was 29% lower than developers in the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe, while the median rates in Eastern Europe and Asia/Oceania were 24% and 40% lower, respectively.

Torc simplifies the hiring process for you and for developers, and it all starts with letting us know what you're looking for. If you're a new Torc customer, schedule a meeting with our sales team to discuss your needs and get the paperwork squared away. If you're an exiting customer, you can create a new job opportunity directly in the Torc platform.

Once the job is finalized, our AI matching algorithm and team of technical talent specialists will get to work identifying great candidates from the Torc community. You can review their profiles and assessments, interview shortlisted candidates, and hire the perfect developer - all in under a week.
