Hire Full Stack Developer
Hire Full Stack Developer, a dedicated full stack developer who owns features across the stack (database schema, API, frontend and deploy) so nothing waits
HandsOnTech lets you hire full stack developer in 1–2 weeks, a dedicated senior full stack developer who owns features across the stack (database schema, API, frontend and deploy) so nothing waits on a handoff between two specialists. Embedded in your Slack and tools, overlapping U.S. business hours, on a monthly engagement you can scale up or down.
Why teams hire full stack developer instead of recruiting
A full-time search for a senior full stack developer takes three to six months, recruiter fees, interview loops, a notice period, and a coin-flip on fit. Meanwhile the roadmap doesn't wait. Hiring dedicated through HandsOnTech inverts the math: you interview a vetted senior this week, they're embedded in your Slack and standups within two, and if the fit isn't right you swap or stop instead of restarting a six-month cycle. You get production code in your repo, reviewed pull requests and features that ship behind real deploys, without adding permanent headcount before the workload justifies it.
What a senior full stack developer actually does for you
Your dedicated full stack developer owns features across the stack (database schema, API, frontend and deploy) so nothing waits on a handoff between two specialists. Day to day that means working in React/Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, REST/GraphQL, Docker and AWS/Vercel, inside your repository and your tools, not a parallel process you have to manage. They join sprint planning, demo working output every two weeks, and document decisions so the knowledge stays with your team when the engagement ends. You talk to the person doing the work; there is no account-manager relay between you and your specialist.
How we vet before you ever meet them
The staffing-industry trick is showing you a strong resume and staffing a different person. We don't run a bench of anonymous juniors, the specialists we place are the same seniors who ship our own client work. Vetting means real pull requests, architecture decisions explained in plain English, and references from codebases they left better than they found. The person you interview is the person who shows up on day one, covered by NDA and full IP assignment from the first hour. The risk we screen out is a developer who interviews well but writes code the next engineer has to rewrite, the expensive lesson most teams learn one bad contract too late.
Pricing and how to start
Dedicated engagements are quoted as a flat monthly rate based on seniority and hours of overlap you need, in writing, before you commit, with no recruiter percentage or agency markup maze. Most placements start within one to two weeks of the intro call. Tell us the stack, the sprint goals and the hours, and we'll propose the specialist and a start date within two business days, or tell you honestly if we don't have the right person, instead of staffing a warm body.

Hiring FAQ
Why hire full stack developer from HandsOnTech?
You get senior specialists embedded in your team, not junior bench rotation. The people we place are the same seniors who ship our own client work, so what you get is reviewed pull requests in your repository, features behind real deploys, and architecture decisions written down in plain English. Direct Slack access, daily U.S. hours overlap and sprint-based delivery, without signing a long agency contract.
How fast can we hire full stack developer?
Most dedicated roles start within 1–2 weeks of the intro call. We match stack, overlap hours and sprint goals before day one, and you should expect a first merged pull request inside the opening sprint, usually a small real ticket rather than a sandbox exercise.
Should we hire dedicated talent or buy a fixed-price project?
Choose a dedicated developer when you own the roadmap and need capacity against it sprint after sprint. Choose a fixed-price project when the deliverable is a defined build with a launch date, a marketing site, a store, a portal, and you would rather buy the outcome than manage the work.
What is the engagement model and how is it priced?
A flat monthly rate based on seniority and the hours of overlap you need, quoted in writing before you commit, with no recruiter percentage and no agency markup maze. Scale up or down with two weeks’ notice. If the fit is not right in the first sprints you swap or stop, so a bad hire costs you two weeks instead of six months.
Do you work U.S. business hours?
Yes. Every engagement guarantees daily overlap with your time zone, Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific, so standups, sprint reviews and pairing happen during your working day. Contracts, invoicing and IP assignment run through Hands On Technologies, a U.S. entity headquartered in Sacramento, California.
Do we interview the actual person who will do the work?
Yes. The specialist you interview is the specialist who starts, with their real portfolio, code and communication in front of you, not a recruiter’s summary of someone you never meet. NDA and full IP assignment are signed before day one.
Is SEO included when we hire developers?
Foundational SEO is baked into every web deliverable: clean URLs, meta structure, schema markup, GA4 and Core Web Vitals targets. Ongoing SEO, AEO and content programs are scoped separately as a service engagement.
Is this remote or on-site?
Remote-first with video standups during your business hours. On-site workshops in major U.S. metros are available by arrangement from our Sacramento, California headquarters.
