A fullstack developer is a tech expert proficient in both frontend and backend development. Simple as that! Now, what stacks and languages exactly is a fullstack developer proficient in? Well, these might range from some to all of them. But the main characteristic stays the same – a fullstack developer is someone who two (or four?) shoes at the same time. Instead of getting two developers you basically get one. A Jack of all trades of sorts. In a good way.
By hiring a fullstack developer, you can cut costs (obviously), communicate and manage your tech project in a more efficient manner. Normally, front-end developers don't know much about back-end, and back-end devs tend to disregard front-end completely. They speak different languages, so to say (pun intended). So in order to move your tech project forward you'll also need an experienced project manager to "translate" stuff between the three of you. With a fullstack developer, you don't need anyone esle.
First of all, try to outline your project requirements in terms of desired technologies, whether it's React and Node.js, Python with Django, or Java Spring. If you're not sure, just describe your product in a more technical way and you'll get to it after speaking with a couple of candidates.
Assess candidates' experience with fullstack development, including expertise in cloud technologies and API integration. Here, you'll need at least *some* grasp of what you're talking about. Otherwise, how can you tell if something is good if you don't know what good is?
It is good practice to look beyond technical skills to ensure compatibility with your team's culture and values. Does the developer communicate in a clear manner? Do you imagine them collaborating with their future colleagues? Even the most experienced developer can slow a project down if there are communication problems.
Seek fullstack developers with specialized skills aligned with your project requirements, such as deep expertise in React Native for mobile app development or Django REST Framework for API integration. It's tricky to pin down the tech stacks your project might need in the future but it pays off.
Opt for developers well-versed in Agile methodologies like Scrum or Kanban, which allow for iterative development, rapid feedback loops, and adaptability. Fullstack developers who know how to self-manage are much easier to work with in the long-term.
Prioritize fullstack developers with domain-specific knowledge relevant to your industry, who have a deeper understanding of your project's unique challenges. Makes for a quicker onboarding and deeper understanding of your goals.
