- Debug production issues across frontend, backend and infrastructure

What we're looking for

What a Full Stack Developer does

Full stack developers are the default first engineering hire at most Indian startups: one person who can take a feature from database schema to UI. The JD should be honest about the split, because "full stack" at a 5-person startup and at a 500-person company are very different jobs.

Hiring tip: Give the rough frontend/backend split ("about 60% backend"). Candidates self-select far better, and you avoid hiring a frontend specialist for a mostly-backend role.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a full stack and a backend engineer JD?

A full stack JD should list both a frontend framework and a backend stack, and say roughly how time splits between them. A backend JD goes deeper on scale, data and operations and usually leaves frontend out entirely.

Is it realistic to ask for expertise in everything?

No. Pick the two or three technologies the hire will use daily as must-haves and move the rest to nice-to-have. Listing ten required technologies mostly filters out good candidates who are honest about what they know.
