> The position was for a Node.js backend developer.

Seeing this being used in the backend is really questionable. In fact, I then question the overall skillset of the team as to why they need to use Node.js or JS-related technologies in the backend.

As soon as I see any recruiter or company mentioning any usage of Node.js or JavaScript or TypeScript in the backend in the job description, I just laugh and delete the email and never reply back.

Introducing such unsound technologies into a production system responsible for maintaining a critical service is a recipe for complete chaos and disorder and tells me that your company is a joke that exists to prepare their developers for failure.
