Solution Architect, Software Engineer, UX/UI Designer, Full-Stack Developer, Data Engineer, IT Consultant at Geigenbau-Meisterwerkstatt
- A digital system made up of special software and hardware components. The overall system replaces the traditional process with job slips and handwritten notes and enables more efficient order intake. Orders and work steps for the violin-making company’s projects can now be recorded, processed and logged in real time directly on the workshop’s touchscreen PC, by mobile phone or on the desktop. This gives customers a more transparent view of the work on their instruments and allows them to track the status and progress of their instrument through their customer account.

About the role
What they build
A Full Stack Developer works on both the front end and the back end of a product. They turn product ideas into working web applications, connect services, and keep the user experience and server logic aligned.
- Build user interfaces with clean, maintainable code
- Create APIs and connect them to databases and third-party services
- Fix performance issues across browser, server, and data layers
- Add login, roles, workflows, forms, dashboards, and business logic
Core skills
Strong Full Stack Developers know how to move between layers without losing sight of the product. They understand modern JavaScript or TypeScript, a front-end framework such as React, and back-end work with Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, or similar stacks.
They should also be comfortable with SQL, schema design, authentication, testing, Git, debugging, and release processes. A good freelance developer writes code that is readable, practical, and easy for an internal team to take over.
Tools and stacks
The exact stack depends on the product, but common choices include React, Next.js, Vue, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, REST APIs, GraphQL, Docker, and cloud services. In product teams, a Full Stack Developer may also work with CI/CD pipelines, headless CMS tools, analytics, and payment or identity integrations.
This role is especially useful when one person needs to own the full path from interface to server to database. That is common in SaaS, e-commerce, marketplace, logistics, and internal business software.
When companies hire
Companies bring in freelance Full Stack Developers when they need speed, flexibility, or a very specific skill set. Typical cases include a new product launch, a feature rebuild, a migration from one framework to another, backlog cleanup, or support for a small in-house team.
- Build an MVP or prototype without hiring separate front-end and back-end specialists
- Add features to an existing product with limited internal capacity
- Modernize legacy code and reduce technical debt
- Support short, focused delivery sprints for product, platform, or operations teams
What strong profiles show
A strong Full Stack Developer makes trade-offs clearly. They can explain why a feature should live in the client, server, or database, and they write code that fits the project stage instead of overengineering it.
Look for people who communicate well with product managers, designers, and engineers. The best freelancers keep scope tight, document their work, and hand over a system that your team can maintain.
Good collaboration
Full stack work often starts with a short audit of the codebase, architecture, and release setup. After that, the freelancer should be able to plan tasks, work in your repo, and ship changes in small, testable steps.
If your team is remote, this role works well with clear tickets, code review, and regular check-ins. If the work touches sensitive systems or complex integrations, on-site time can help at the start, but most delivery can still move online.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Full Stack Developer? Start with the answers below.
A Full Stack Developer handles both the interface and the server side of a product. That can include building pages, wiring APIs, working with databases, fixing bugs, and shipping new features end to end. Companies often hire this role when they want one person who can move across the whole stack without waiting on multiple specialists.
A strong full stack developer should be solid in modern JavaScript or TypeScript and at least one front-end framework such as React or Vue. They also need back-end skills, database knowledge, testing habits, and a clear way of working with Git and code review. Good communication matters as much as technical depth, because they need to coordinate across product, design, and engineering.
A Full Stack Developer works across both sides of the application, while a front-end developer focuses on the browser and a back-end developer focuses on server logic and data. The full stack role is useful when the same person must connect the user experience to APIs, databases, and deployment. It is not about doing everything alone; it is about being able to own the full path of a feature.
A freelance Full Stack Developer makes sense when the need is project-based, urgent, or tied to a specific stack. Companies often choose this route for MVPs, migrations, feature bursts, or temporary support for an overloaded team. It is also a practical option when you need senior execution before you are ready to add a permanent role.
Most Full Stack Developers can work remotely if the scope is clear and the team uses good documentation, ticketing, and code review. On-site time can help at the start of a project, especially for product discovery, architecture talks, or work with sensitive systems. For ongoing delivery, remote collaboration is usually efficient if the team shares a single codebase and release process.
Look at recent work, not just a list of tools. A good full stack engineer shows practical judgment, clean code structure, and the ability to explain trade-offs in simple terms. You should also check whether they can discuss testing, deployment, data modeling, and how they would take over an existing codebase.
Yes. Many people search for a Full Stack Developer under titles like full stack engineer, web developer, or software engineer, depending on the product and the company. The important point is the scope: the person should be able to work across the client, server, and data layers, not only one of them.
A Full Stack Developer is a strong fit for web apps, dashboards, internal tools, SaaS products, marketplaces, and integrations between systems. This role works especially well when features cut across several layers and the team wants one person to keep the implementation consistent. It is less useful for very narrow specialist work, such as only UI polish or only infrastructure.
The average hourly rate for Full Stack Developer is 81 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 644 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers working as Full Stack Developer, 91% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 45% hold at least a Master's degree, and 4% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers working as Full Stack Developer have 15 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.9 years.
The most common languages among freelancers working as Full Stack Developer are English (96%), German (78%), and French (11%).
The most common industries among freelancers working as Full Stack Developer are Information Technology (98%), Banking and Finance (50%), and Retail (42%).
The most common business areas among freelancers working as Full Stack Developer are Information Technology (100%), Product Development (100%), and Quality Assurance (49%).
