MERN / Next.js product engineers
React or Next.js on the client, Node.js services and Mongo where the data lives, one owner for a product area, not two tickets that drift.

Full-stack developers who close the loop
A feature is not done when the UI looks right or when the endpoint returns 200. iQud full-stack engineers own the slice: React or Next.js in the browser, Node.js or NestJS behind it, so the pull request a product lead can merge is the one that ships both sides.

The full-stack seats we actually staff
“Full-stack” is not a junior who touched both folders. We match on the slice your product needs, the same frontend and backend stacks behind iQud’s live technology pages.
01 02 Feature owners, UI to API
A named engineer who can ship the screen, the contract, and the migration in the same sprint, with senior review on both sides.
03 NestJS + React modules
Typed service boundaries with a product UI that consumes them. OpenAPI in the PR, not a Slack screenshot of an endpoint.
04 MEAN when Angular is already the client
Angular modules talking to Node services we already deliver, only if that is how you ship today.
05 Integrations that span the stack
Auth, payments, and third-party APIs wired through both the client session and the service layer, not a frontend mock with a TODO on the backend.
06 When a specialist is the better seat
A design-system rebuild or a data-layer cutover still wants a frontend or backend specialist. We will say so on the intro call instead of forcing a full-stack hire.
Tools they open on day one
Every tile is a live iQud technology page. The strip below is the full frontend and backend catalog we already ship, not a shortened full-stack subset.
From intro call to a merged PR
A full-stack hire should be shipping a vertical slice in your repo, not waiting for a backend ticket before the UI can move.
1 Map the slice
Client stack, service stack, data stores, seniority, overlap hours, and what “done in 30 days” looks like across UI and API.
2 Shortlist real engineers
We match available full-stack specialists to your brief and share work that actually spans the client and the service.
3 You interview
Meet the human who will join standup. Validate how they talk through a feature that touches the screen and the data.
4 First sprint in your tools
Repo access, environments, and a first pull request, typically inside a week once you say go.
Start with one seat. Grow if the backlog says so.
Most clients embed a single full-stack engineer first. Split into frontend and backend seats only when the work actually diverges.
One embedded engineer
A React + Node specialist joins your squad, takes direction from your lead, and owns features end to end in your rituals.
Best forClosing a feature-velocity gap without two new vendor seats
Dedicated full-stack seat
A stable owner for a product area (admin, onboarding, or a bounded app) shipping UI and API in the same cadence.
Best forA product slice that needs one named owner
Scoped product initiative
A defined build: a new module, an integration, or an MVP slice with the contract already in motion.
Best forA milestone you can point at, not an open-ended bench
Full-stack hiring rates, in writing
Two ways to staff a React / Next.js / Node.js engineer. Hourly for spikes and defined tickets. A dedicated monthly seat when you want someone in your standup every day, at a lower effective rate than running the clock.
Hire by the hour
$20/ hour
Flexible full-stack capacity for feature spikes, reviews, and scoped tickets. You only pay for hours worked.
- Same product engineers as a monthly seat
- Best for overflow, an integration, or a single module
- Start fast, pause when the spike is done
- Billed against actual hours, not a retainer
Best value
Hire for a month
$2,000/ month
A named full-stack engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated feature capacity, with senior review in the cadence.
A full-time month at $20 is $3,200. This seat is $2,000.
- Named engineer in your repo, environments, and standup
- UI and API work in the same pull request
- Month-to-month. No annual lock-in.
- Lower cost than the same hours billed at $20
Rates are for dedicated full-stack engineers (React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS). Seniority mix and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call. We will not quote a stack we do not already ship.
Why product teams staff full-stack here
A mediocre full-stack developer produces a demo that works on their laptop. These engineers produce a slice that survives real users, real data, and your next quarter of features.
One owner, both sides of the ticket
They do not throw CSS over a wall or wait on a backend stub. The contract, the screen, and the migration land together.
Your repo, your cloud, your hours
GIFT City overlap with Europe and the US. Design and architecture reviews happen live when your leads are online.
Senior eyes on the sprint
Mid-level speed without unsupervised UI debt or schema shortcuts. Review is part of the engagement, not an extra SKU.
Ten clients a quarter, on purpose
We do not run a revolving bench. Capacity is limited so the engineer you interview is the one in standup.
Full-stack hiring questions
Start with one. Most clients embed a single senior or mid-level full-stack engineer, then add a specialist if the UI or service work starts to dominate.
React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, Node.js, NestJS, Python, Rails, and MongoDB, the same catalogs as our frontend and backend hire pages. TypeScript is standard on JS seats. We will not staff a stack we do not already deliver.
No. Full-stack is the right seat when one engineer should own a vertical slice. A design-system push or a service rewrite still wants a specialist. We will say so on the intro call.
After we map the role and you approve the hire, first pull requests typically land within a week, faster when the repo and environments are ready.
Yes. GitHub, Jira, Figma, your cloud, your standups. We do not invent a parallel process unless you ask for one.
Hourly ($20) is for spikes and defined tickets. You pay only for hours worked. The monthly seat ($2,000) is a named full-stack engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated capacity. The same month billed hourly would be $3,200. Seniority and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call.
