Role details
What does a dedicated Full Stack Developer do?
A full-stack developer at Codalyst Tech takes ownership of the entire product layer — database schema, API design, frontend components, and deployment pipeline. They are generalists by design: able to move between backend logic and UI implementation without losing velocity, which makes them particularly valuable for early-stage product builds where engineering context needs to travel across the stack. They do not need a handoff to move from a database migration to a React component; they ship the whole feature.
- Own the complete product build: database migrations, API endpoints, frontend components, and CI/CD configuration
- Design relational schemas with appropriate normalisation, indexing, and constraint choices for the expected query patterns
- Implement end-to-end authentication flows: JWT with refresh rotation, OAuth providers, or session-cookie auth
- Wire third-party integrations including Stripe payments, SendGrid email, and CRM or ERP webhooks
- Set up automated deployment pipelines with test gates, environment promotion, and rollback procedures
- Write tests at the unit, integration, and end-to-end levels across both frontend and backend layers
Scope of work
What your Full Stack Developer will build
- End-to-end SaaS products: Next.js frontend, Node.js or Laravel API, PostgreSQL, deployed to Vercel + AWS RDS with zero-downtime migrations
- Internal business tools and admin portals with CRUD interfaces, PDF report generation, and role-based access control
- MVP builds that go from wireframe to deployed production app in 4–6 weeks with full test coverage
- API integrations connecting third-party services (Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot) to custom frontends with error handling and retry logic
Vetting process
How we screen Full Stack Developer candidates
Cross-stack coherence
Can design a data model, write the API endpoint, type the response, and render it in the frontend without losing context between layers.
Database schema design
Writes normalised schemas, adds appropriate indexes, and understands when to denormalise for read-heavy query patterns.
Authentication architecture
Has implemented JWT + refresh token rotation, OAuth, or session-cookie auth from scratch — not just dropped in a library.
Deployment ownership
Has owned a production deployment end-to-end: CI/CD pipeline, environment variables, database migrations, and rollback procedure.
Interview guidance
Interview questions to ask your Full Stack Developer
You need to build real-time notifications when a user's order ships. Walk me through the full-stack design.
Why ask: Tests end-to-end thinking: event source, API endpoint, WebSocket or SSE, and frontend state update.
How would you run a zero-downtime database migration on a live system with 100k active rows?
Why ask: Tests understanding of backwards-compatible migrations and the Expand/Contract pattern.
How do you decide what logic belongs in the frontend versus the backend?
Why ask: Reveals discipline around security, data integrity, and client vs server trust boundaries.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a dedicated full stack developer from Pakistan cost?
