Full Stack Engineer Jobs

Own features end-to-end. Build complete products from database to UI.

Interview Tips

Show Complete Projects

Have at least one project where you built everything: database, API, frontend, and deployment. This proves full-stack capability.

Balance Your Depth

You don't need to be expert in everything, but show competence across the stack. Be honest about where you're strongest.

Discuss Trade-offs

Be ready to explain why you chose specific technologies, architectures, or approaches. Thoughtful decision-making matters.

Demonstrate Shipping Ability

Startups need people who can ship. Show you can take a feature from idea to production, not just write code.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

React + Node.js + PostgreSQL is the most common and employable combination. TypeScript across the stack is increasingly expected. This combination covers most startup needs.

At early-stage startups, full stack is more valuable—small teams need versatile people. As companies grow, specialization becomes more common. Start full stack, specialize later if desired.

You should be comfortable building production features on both ends, but you don't need to be an expert everywhere. Most full stack engineers are stronger on one side—that's normal.

Very much. Full stack engineers are often the first engineering hires because they can build complete features independently. It's one of the highest-demand roles at early-stage companies.
