One developer across both sides

Hire full-stack developers

One developer who owns both sides: the screens and the server. Useful when the project is small enough for a single owner, or when you want a lead who can move between layers.

Hiring model that usually fits

Monthly based

A full-stack developer who stays with the product keeps what they learned about it. A defined MVP can also be scoped as a project.

Splitting a small project between a frontend and a backend developer adds handovers and meetings. A full-stack developer builds the feature end to end, from the database to the button, and knows where a problem really lives.

On larger products, a full-stack developer is often the lead who keeps the frontend and backend consistent while specialists go deep on either side.

Hire one when

  • The project is small or early and needs one owner
  • You want an MVP without managing several people
  • You need a lead to coordinate other developers

What they do day to day

  • Build features end to end: database, API and screens
  • Set up the project structure and deployment
  • Make technical decisions across the stack
  • Fix bugs wherever they are, front or back
  • Keep frontend and backend conventions consistent
  • Review work from other developers on the team

What you get

  • Complete, working features rather than halves
  • One person accountable for the whole build
  • A codebase organised the same way throughout
  • Deployment that does not depend on one laptop

Technologies they work in

The stack depends on what you already run and who will maintain it. Open any one to see what that developer builds.

Common questions

Is one full-stack developer enough?

Often, for a small or early product. Larger or specialist work may need more than one person, and we say so up front.

Can a full-stack developer lead a team?

Yes. That is a common role: one person who keeps the whole build consistent while others work on parts of it.

Which stack do full-stack developers use?

Common pairings are Laravel with React or Vue, and Node.js with React or Next.js. We match the stack to your product.
