Definitely go for C or C++. Both languages can be used to make native Node addons that can give you a lot more power when working with node. You could even use it to make steam games with electron because the steameorks API is in C. Also, sounds relatively high profile jobs require a language such as python or C++, but I personally think that C++would be best.

Is C++ like C regarding the need to handle memory usage?

Yes. C++ is quite literally the same as C, but tweaked for OOP rather than function-based programming.
