Hire Full Stack Developers

One engineer who can take a feature from database schema to shipped interface without a handoff in the middle. On a small team that is usually faster than two specialists waiting on each other.

What our Full Stack Developers do

The case for hiring a full stack developer is not that they are cheaper than two people. It is that a feature crossing the database, the API and the interface does not stop at two handoffs, each of which is a place for a misunderstanding to survive until testing.

On a small team that is usually the right trade. On a larger one it is often the wrong one, because depth starts to matter more than breadth and you are better served by a back end specialist and a front end specialist who each go further in their own half.

We will tell you which we think you need after hearing what you are building. Getting that answer wrong is expensive in a way that is hard to see for several months, so it is worth ten minutes on a call before anyone is booked.

What they build

The work this role actually does here, on client products that are live.

Features, end to end

Schema, API, interface and tests as one piece of work. No ticket sits waiting for the other half of the team to be free.

New products from zero

The first version of something, where the shape is still moving and splitting the work across specialists would cost more in coordination than it saves in speed.

Internal tools

Admin panels, reporting and operations tooling. Unglamorous, usually the thing quietly costing your team the most hours every week.

Filling whichever gap is open

On a team of four, the useful engineer is the one who moves to wherever the work is. That is what this role is for.

Is this the right way to buy?

Hire this way when

The team is small and every handoff costs a day
You are building a first version and the shape is still changing
The work is broad and shallow rather than narrow and deep
You need one person accountable for a feature working, not two for its halves

Look elsewhere when

The work is deep in one layer, where a specialist will be better and faster
You already have a front-end team and only the API is missing
The system is at a scale where architecture decisions need a specialist
You want two roles for the price of one, which is not what this is

How hiring runs

Tell us the gap

What the team is building, what is missing, and how long you expect to need it. A rough answer is enough to start.
Profiles within a week

You get a shortlist of engineers who are actually free, with the work they have shipped here. Not a database of people we would have to recruit first.
You interview them

Technical interview, pair programming, take-home, whatever your normal process is. You decide, not us. Nobody joins your team without your yes.
They start inside your process

Your repository, your board, your standups, your review standards. We do not run a parallel process alongside yours.

Agreed before anyone starts

Written into the contract rather than promised on a call. These are the terms people forget to ask about until they need them.

You interview and approve every engineer before they start

One month notice either way, so neither side is trapped

A replacement at our cost if someone is not working out in the first month

Code, accounts and credentials are yours from the first commit

An NDA before any of your systems are discussed, not after

No recruitment fee if you later hire someone permanently

Questions we get asked

Is a full stack developer worse at both halves?

Different, not worse. They are stronger across a feature and weaker at the deep end of either layer. On a small team that trade is usually worth it. At scale it is not, and we will say so.

Which stack do they use?

Whatever you already run, within reason. Most of our full stack engineers work in a JavaScript or PHP stack. If you are on something we do not know well we say so rather than learning on your budget.

Can one person really cover both?

For a first version and for feature work, yes. For a rewrite of your data layer under load, no. The honest answer depends on the work, and it is worth asking us before you decide.

How is this different from hiring a React or Node developer?

Those are specialists in one layer. Hire them when you know exactly which layer is missing. Hire this role when the answer is "whichever one needs doing this week".

Send the role, the stack and how long you expect to need it. You get profiles of engineers who are actually free, not a sales call.
