What does a full-stack developer do?
A full-stack developer builds every layer of a web or mobile product: the user interface, the server-side API, the database and the deployment. Because one engineer takes a feature from schema to screen, build cycles are shorter and coordination overhead between frontend and backend teams drops.
When to hire one

When one full-stack hire beats two specialists

Early products, MVPs and lean teams gain the most. For deep performance work on a single layer, hire the specialist instead.

What they cover

Full-stack skills you get in one hire

One developer owns every layer of the build.

Frontend and backend

They work in React, Angular or Vue on the front and Node.js, Python, .NET or Java behind it. The same engineer wires the API to the screen.

ReactNode.js

Databases that hold up

They design schemas and tune queries on MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle and SQL Server.

PostgreSQLMongoDB

Web apps built to convert

They build fast web apps from your requirements and design each screen around a business goal.

See web application development

Cross-platform mobile

They build Android, iOS and hybrid apps that share APIs and backend logic with your web product.

APIs and integrations

They build secure APIs and third-party integrations that connect the systems your team already uses.

Support and optimisation

They fix bugs, tune performance, apply security patches and keep shipping updates once the product is live.

Code quality

How we vet full-stack developers

Code quality is the usual concern with an offshore hire. Developers pass our technical interview before you meet them, and these controls keep every change reviewable after they join.

ISOGDPR

Technical interview and coding test

Every developer on the roster passed our own interview and coding test before joining.

Your interview

You run a live interview and coding test of your own before choosing.

Mandatory code review

Every pull request is reviewed against your coding standards and branching strategy.

Automated CI/CD

Builds, tests and deploys run through your own CI/CD pipeline.

Unit and integration tests

Testing is part of the definition of done, inside your QA process.

Questions buyers ask

Hire full-stack developers FAQs

Ask anything else on the call and we will answer it.

How much does it cost to hire a full-stack developer?

Dedicated full-stack developers start from $1,799 a month, full-time and billed monthly. Project work starts with a free discovery sprint. We confirm the exact quote after the first call.

Which stacks do your full-stack developers know?

They work in React, Next.js, Angular and Vue on the frontend, and Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI), .NET and Java (Spring Boot) on the backend. For data they use PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis, and they deploy on AWS, Azure or GCP with Docker and Kubernetes.

How do you vet full-stack developers?

Every developer is a salaried member of our in-house team who passed our technical interview and coding test. You then run your own live interview and coding test, and nobody joins until you choose them.

How fast can a developer start?

We share matched profiles within 48 hours. After you interview and choose, onboarding takes about a week, so most developers make their first commit around two weeks after the first call.

Can the developer join our sprints and tools?

Yes. The developer joins your repositories, tracker, stand-ups and CI/CD pipeline, and follows your coding standards, branching strategy and QA process.

What happens if the developer is not a good fit?

Tell us and we share new profiles. You interview the replacement the same way, and we usually need one to two weeks' notice for a change.

How do you keep code quality high with a remote developer?

We keep quality high with mandatory code reviews, automated CI/CD pipelines, unit and integration tests, and daily stand-ups with your team.

Can I scale the team up or down?

Yes. Add developers to speed up a release and scale down after it. We usually need one to two weeks' notice for a change.

Which engagement models can I choose?

You can choose a dedicated developer or team, time and materials, fixed price for a defined scope, or an offshore development centre run under your management.

Your engineers work in your hours

Timezone overlap is built in. Your matched engineers keep 4 to 6 hours of daily overlap with US hours and a full working day with the UK, Europe and the Middle East, so standups, reviews and fixes land during your working day.
