Hire Remote Full-Stack Developers

Hire Senior Full-Stack Developers Who Own the Entire Product

The word “full-stack” is overused. Most developers who claim it are strong on one side and competent on the other. A genuinely senior full-stack engineer is rare: someone who designs the database schema, builds the API, writes the React components, and deploys the whole thing on AWS — with equal confidence and craft at every layer.

That’s who we staff. Our full-stack developers have owned entire product surfaces for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth unicorn startups — shipping complete features from database to browser without handing off between teams. They’re the engineers that early-stage companies use to move fast, and that enterprise companies use to build the products their specialists maintain.

What Our Full-Stack Developers Build

Complete SaaS Products

From schema design to React UI — our full-stack engineers build complete SaaS applications. Authentication, billing, multi-tenancy, admin dashboards, API integrations, background jobs, email infrastructure — everything a production SaaS product needs, shipped by engineers who own it all.

React + Node.js / Python Applications

The most common full-stack combination in modern product engineering. Our full-stack developers build React front-ends backed by Node.js or Python APIs, connected to PostgreSQL or MongoDB databases, deployed to AWS or GCP — with proper CI/CD, testing, and observability throughout.

Next.js Full-Stack Applications

The Next.js App Router is a genuinely full-stack framework — server components, server actions, API routes, and edge middleware alongside React client components. Our full-stack engineers build Next.js applications that blur the line between front-end and back-end in the right way.

Internal Tools & Dashboards

Operations dashboards, data exploration tools, admin interfaces, and internal workflow applications. Our full-stack engineers build the internal tools that make your operations team 10x faster — with the same craft they apply to customer-facing products.

MVP Development

First-version products for startups that need to move fast and build the right thing. Our full-stack engineers have the breadth to build an entire MVP without a team — and the judgment to make architecture decisions that won’t need to be undone when the product finds product-market fit.

Client Success Story: Healthcare SaaS Platform — Zero to Production in Five Months

A healthcare startup needed a complete patient and clinician management platform built to production quality: appointment scheduling, video consultations, EHR integration, insurance billing, HIPAA-compliant document storage, and role-based access for patients, clinicians, and administrators. Our full-stack engineers owned the entire product — React and TypeScript front-end, NestJS API, PostgreSQL on AWS RDS, S3 for document storage, and a CI/CD pipeline with automated HIPAA security scanning. The platform launched in five months, passed its SOC 2 Type I audit at launch, and signed 50 clinic customers within 30 days. The company raised its Series A within six months of launch, with the completeness and quality of the product cited as a primary factor in investor confidence.

Client Success Story: Legacy B2B SaaS Modernization for a 2,000-Customer Enterprise Platform

A B2B SaaS company with 2,000 enterprise customers had a decade-old Rails monolith causing weekly production incidents and blocking the product team from shipping new features without fear of regressions. The front-end was built on AngularJS — unmaintainable and unhireable. Our full-stack engineers embedded with a stabilization-first approach: introduced test coverage from 8% to 65% over twelve weeks, decomposed the highest-risk modules into service boundaries, migrated the front-end incrementally from AngularJS to React with TypeScript, and implemented blue/green deployments that eliminated the four-hour maintenance windows that had been damaging enterprise NPS scores. Weekly incidents stopped within the first month. Product velocity tripled within six months. The engineering foundation improvements were directly credited in the company’s successful growth-equity raise.

Why Companies Choose Our Full-Stack Developers

• Genuine depth on both sides: We screen full-stack engineers on both front-end and back-end skills separately — not just self-reports. Our full-stack engineers are genuinely strong at both, not just presentable on one side
• Product ownership mindset: They think about the feature, not the layer. A full-stack engineer who owns a feature ships it faster and with fewer integration bugs than two specialists who hand off between each other
• Startup-to-enterprise range: Our full-stack engineers have worked at both — they know how to move fast when speed matters and how to build systems that scale when growth demands it
• TypeScript throughout: Front-end, back-end, and the API contract connecting them — all typed, all consistent, all maintained by the same engineer
• 50% cost savings: Fully-burdened rates including salary, benefits, taxes, and HR

Engagement Models

• Individual Full-Stack Engineer — A senior full-stack developer who owns a complete product surface: front-end, API, database, and deployment. Ideal for early-stage startups who need one engineer to build the product, or established teams adding a feature owner who doesn’t create hand-off bottlenecks between front-end and back-end.
• Full-Stack Product Pods (2–3 engineers) — A coordinated squad of full-stack engineers who collectively cover the entire product — front-end through infrastructure — with QA support. Common for Series A companies building new product surfaces at speed while maintaining code quality and test coverage.
• Full-Stack Teams (4–15+ engineers) — Complete product engineering organizations for growth-stage SaaS, marketplace, or EdTech products where full-stack ownership accelerates shipping and reduces inter-team coordination overhead.
• Contract-to-Hire Full-Stack Engineers — Evaluate a full-stack engineer’s depth on both sides of the stack in your actual codebase before making a permanent commitment. Engineers with genuine full-stack depth leave a visible footprint in both PR reviews and production performance.

How To Vet Full-Stack Developers

Our full-stack vetting is the most technically comprehensive in our portfolio — we screen front-end and back-end depth separately, then evaluate the judgment calls that only genuinely experienced full-stack engineers make. The four-stage process:

1. Dual technical screening — Front-end: React hooks, component architecture, TypeScript generics, Core Web Vitals optimization, and CSS layout. Back-end: API design (REST and GraphQL), database modeling and query optimization, authentication and authorization patterns (JWT, OAuth2, session management), and infrastructure basics (Docker, CI/CD, cloud deployment). Over 90% of applicants show meaningful gaps on one side. Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
2. Full-stack take-home exercise — Build a complete feature from database to UI: database schema design, API endpoint with authentication and validation, React UI with form handling and data fetching, TypeScript throughout, and tests covering the API layer. Evaluated on type safety, security (parameterized queries, CSRF handling), component design, and test quality.
3. Live technical interview — Architecture discussion for a full-stack product feature (data modeling decisions, API design trade-offs, state management approach), debugging a performance problem that spans both the front-end rendering and the database query, and discussion of when to split responsibilities across specialists vs. maintain full-stack ownership.
4. Product judgment and communication screening — Full-stack engineers who own complete product surfaces make product decisions as much as technical ones. We assess the ability to scope ambiguous requirements, push back on feature complexity, and communicate trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

What to Look for When Hiring Full-Stack Developers

Genuine full-stack engineers are rare because depth on both sides of the stack requires maintaining two separate bodies of knowledge that evolve independently. Most engineers who claim to be full-stack are strong on one side and passable on the other — adequate until the work gets hard.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• They can debug a performance problem that spans the front-end and the API: they know how to use React DevTools Profiler and Chrome DevTools Performance tab, and they also know how to read a slow query log and interpret a EXPLAIN ANALYZE output — because full-stack performance problems rarely live entirely on one side
• They make genuine architectural choices about state management: they reach for React Query or SWR for server state, local component state for UI state, and Zustand or Jotai only when genuinely needed — not Redux by default
• They design database schemas with application query patterns in mind: they know which columns to index based on their actual query predicates, and they’ve hit N+1 problems in an ORM and fixed them without resorting to raw SQL
• They have real security practice across both layers: they use parameterized queries by default, understand CSRF token flows, implement JWT correctly (short expiry, refresh rotation, proper storage), and know what CORS actually prevents vs. what it doesn’t

Red flags to watch for:

• Strong React skills but inability to explain database index selection — a common pattern for “full-stack” engineers who are actually front-end engineers with some Node.js experience
• Using Redux for every application’s state management without evaluating lighter options — a sign they’re applying the most complex tool they know rather than matching the tool to the problem
• No TypeScript strictness — candidates who turn off strict mode or use any extensively may be avoiding the discipline that makes large full-stack codebases maintainable
• No experience with database performance — candidates who’ve never profiled a slow query or chosen between an index scan and a sequential scan may struggle when their ORM-generated queries become performance bottlenecks at scale

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through how you’d debug a slow page load that appears to involve both the React rendering layer and the API response time. What tools would you use and in what order?”
• “When would you choose GraphQL over REST for a new full-stack product? What are the operational costs you’re accepting, and what specific problems does it solve for your use case?”
• “How would you design the authentication and session management for a multi-tenant SaaS product? Walk me through the JWT structure, the refresh token rotation strategy, and how you’d handle tenant isolation at the API level.”
