Why hire a freelance full stack developer?

One developer who can work across the whole stack removes handoffs. A freelance full stack developer brings the range to build a feature or a whole product, which suits start-ups, prototypes and small teams.

‍

Freelancers also give you flexibility. Add a full stack developer for an MVP, a new product, a series of features or a gap in your team, then scale back when it's live. Having built whole products, they bring a practical sense of trade-offs.

One directory for every full stack developer

Keep every full stack developer you work with, whether you found them on YunoJuno or brought them with you, in one searchable directory.

Compliant and vetted

Every engagement is assessed for worker status, backed by misclassification indemnification.

What does a freelance full stack developer do?

Building user interfaces and the server-side logic behind them.
Designing APIs, databases and data models.
Connecting front end, back end and third-party services.
Handling authentication, security and deployment.
Writing tests across the stack.
Setting up CI/CD and hosting.
Estimating and scoping features end to end.

Frequently asked questions

Hire a freelance full stack developer when you're building an MVP or new product, when you need features delivered end to end, or when your team is small. They're also useful for prototypes, for bridging front-end and back-end teams, and for covering a vacancy.

Full stack developers vary by stack and strength. Common stacks include JavaScript with Node.js and React, Python with Django, PHP with Laravel or Symfony, and Ruby on Rails. Many lean toward either front end or back end. For deep specialist work, consider a front-end developer or back-end developer, and a JavaScript developer suits JavaScript-centered products. Match their experience to your stack and stage.

Look for a mix of breadth and depth:

  • Shipped products built end to end
  • Strong skills in both front-end and back-end technologies
  • Database design and API experience
  • Cloud, deployment and CI/CD knowledge
  • Pragmatic decision-making on trade-offs
  • Testing and code quality habits
  • Ability to work independently and communicate clearly
  • Experience at the stage of product you're building

Useful questions to ask before you book:

  1. Which products have you built end to end, and on which stack?
  2. Where are you strongest, front end or back end?
  3. How do you decide on architecture for a new product?
  4. How do you handle deployment and hosting?
  5. How do you test across the stack?
  6. How do you balance speed with quality?
  7. How do you work with designers and product owners?
  8. Can you share full-stack projects or code?

The cost of a freelance full stack developer depends mainly on seniority, stack, product stage and scope, portfolio, and location. Freelancers set their own day rates, which you can see on their YunoJuno profile before you make contact.

For benchmarks, see YunoJuno's Contractor Rates Report, built from rates data on projects booked through the platform. For what it costs to use YunoJuno itself, see the pricing page.
