What Does a Full-Stack Developer Do?

Works across both the frontend and backend of an application, from database to user interface.

A full-stack developer is comfortable across the whole application — building user interfaces on the frontend and the APIs, logic and databases on the backend. They are valued for being able to ship a feature end to end, which is especially useful on small, lean remote teams.

Breadth is the strength here: a good full-stack engineer knows enough of each layer to move a feature from idea to production without waiting on hand-offs.
