What a full-stack developer does on our teams
A full-stack developer owns a feature end to end: the database migration, the API endpoint, the React screen and the tests around all three. On a typical client team they take a ticket from your backlog on Monday, ship it behind a feature flag by Thursday and demo it on Friday. They are the right hire when you want one accountable person per feature rather than a front-end and back-end pair who hand work across.
How we assess full-stack developers
- Data modelling: designing a schema and API for a realistic feature such as team billing with usage limits
- Front-end judgment: state management, loading and error states, accessibility of a form-heavy screen
- Production habits: migrations, logging, feature flags and what they do when a deploy fails
- Sample task: build a small Next.js and Node.js feature with tests in four hours, then walk us through the trade-offs
