When Full Stack Is the Wrong Hire
The point at which specialists genuinely pay for themselves.
Engineers who can take a feature from interface to database to deployment without three handoffs. Best value when the team is small and the surface is wide.
Trusted by teams worldwide
Six full stack combinations we staff most often, each matched to how your codebase is actually built.
Breadth is only useful with judgement, so we screen for both, alongside our frontend and backend pools.
One engineer taking a feature from interface through data model to deploy.
Engineers who flag when a problem genuinely needs a specialist rather than bluffing.
Comfortable pushing back on scope when a simpler build gets the same outcome.
Schema decisions made with read patterns in mind, not just to unblock the UI.
Comfortable with CI, environments and releases rather than handing off at merge.
Tests where they earn their keep, at the boundaries that break most often.
