What skills should full stack developers have?

Essential: React/Next.js + TypeScript, Node.js/Python backend, PostgreSQL/MongoDB, REST/GraphQL APIs, authentication, AWS/Vercel deployment, testing, Git, Agile practices.

Are nearshore full stack developers as good as US developers?

Yes. Many hold CS degrees, 70%+ have US company experience, work in US time zones with strong English. 80% hire rate, 2x retention rate.

What is your vetting process?

Only 3% pass: (1) Full stack technical assessment (frontend + backend + database), (2) 90-min live coding building a complete feature, (3) architecture review, (4) cultural fit evaluation, (5) reference checks.

What time zones do developers work in?

0-3 hour difference from US time zones. Real-time collaboration during business hours.

Can I hire a full development team?

Should I hire full stack developers or frontend + backend specialists?

Choose full stack when you need:

End-to-end feature ownership with less coordination
Rapid MVP development
Smaller teams (<5 engineers)
Versatile engineers who can context-switch
Reduced hiring complexity

Choose specialists when you need:

Large-scale applications with complex requirements
Deep expertise in specific areas (advanced animations, distributed systems)
Teams of 10+ engineers
Clear separation of concerns

Our take: For most startups and small teams (seed to Series A), full stack developers provide better velocity and lower coordination overhead. As you scale to 10+ engineers, specialists make sense.
