Node.js API Development

Work this role can support

• Implement versioned REST or GraphQL handlers from written request and response contracts
• Add schema validation and stable error mapping at inbound API boundaries
• Write unit and integration tests for authorization, validation, and failure paths
• Trace failed jobs or webhook retries from sandbox logs and prepare bounded fixes

Controls to set first

• The owner approves authentication design, schema changes, dependencies, and deployments
• Development credentials are scoped to sandbox services and named test resources
• Third-party keys enter through the secret manager and never appear in fixtures or logs
• Contract tests pin status codes, payload shapes, idempotency, and retry behavior

Practical launch plan

1. Share the OpenAPI or GraphQL contract, supported Node version, and local test commands
2. Provide sandbox dependencies, synthetic identities, and representative failure cases
3. Assign one non-authentication endpoint with explicit validation and error requirements
4. Review logs and contract tests together; the owner retains merge and release actions
