Full-stack developer

A full-stack developer works across the entire application — both the user-facing frontend and the server-side backend. They build interfaces, write server logic and APIs, work with databases, and connect everything end to end, able to take a feature from the screen the user sees all the way down to the data that powers it.

The role demands breadth across the whole stack, valued especially at startups and smaller teams where one person owns a feature entirely. Full-stack developers work across the industry.

The job suits versatile people who enjoy variety and seeing the whole picture, and who like being able to build a complete, working feature themselves rather than specializing in just one layer.
