Hire Senior Fullstack Developers in Europe
Generalists with genuine depth at both ends of the stack. The right profile for early products, product-led teams, and any moment when context-switching between backend and frontend is the bottleneck - not specialisation.
Engineers who actually fit the craft.
Every fullstack developers we place has been screened for the specific skills that matter in this discipline - not generic "software engineering" experience repackaged.
Genuinely two-sided
Not a frontend engineer who can kind of write an API, or a backend engineer who can kind of write React. Deep on both ends, with opinions.
Product-speed shipping
Comfortable with the whole loop: spec → schema → API → UI → ship. Ideal for zero-to-one products where every handoff is friction.
Stack-agnostic judgement
Knows when to reach for Next.js over Remix, when SSR is worth it, when not to use a database at all. Picks tools, not sides.
Comfortable in ambiguity
Not every spec is complete. Fullstack engineers we place can scope, push back, and ship something reasonable without a PM holding their hand.
Engineers in our network. Real people. Long-term.
Every engineer Talzy places is a full-time, locally-employed team member - working exclusively for one company. Not a marketplace, not a rotation.
Every modern fullstack stack, represented in the network.
Sourcing is stack-aware - the shortlist you see only includes engineers with production experience in the technology you specify.
Meta-frameworks
Backend pairs
Data layer
Frontend
Platforms
Testing
The moments a dedicated fullstack actually earns their seat.
Greenfield MVP
Zero to one. You need an engineer who can own both sides of the stack, make defensible framework choices, and ship a working product in weeks - not a beautifully architected nothing in months. Fullstack with senior judgement is the correct first hire here.
Small product team reinforcement
You have 3–5 engineers. Specialists create too many handoffs. A senior fullstack fills the gaps - closes cross-cutting tickets, unblocks both frontend and backend, and reduces the per-feature coordination cost.
Rescuing a stalled product
An agency built v1. It kind of works, but no one knows how to extend it. A Talzy fullstack engineer can audit the stack, reverse-engineer what the previous team did, and restart the build in a way your team can actually own going forward.
Internal tools & automation
Sales ops needs a tool. Finance needs a tool. HR needs a tool. You need someone who can stand up a small well-made internal app per week - Postgres + Next.js + a clean form - without each one becoming a forever-project.
One brief, one shortlist, one fullstack developer on your team.
Tell us what you need. We come back in 3–5 business days with 3–5 fullstack developers who fit your stack, your seniority bar, and your team rhythm - already vetted, already interested.
Calculate your fullstack cost.
Salary at-cost (no markup) + a tiered monthly management fee + a workspace fee. No recruitment fee. All shown in USD, per month and per year. Move the controls, see exactly what you will pay.
Typical monthly cost by seniority
All-in, including employment, workspace, and Talzy fee. Ranges cover our three active markets.
Ships features across stack on defined scope
Owns features end-to-end, scopes ambiguous work
Leads small teams, sets architecture and standards
The bar a fullstack clears before you meet them.
Technical skill is table stakes - alignment, stability, and communication matter just as much. We screen for all four before anyone lands on your shortlist.
Two-sided system design
A design exercise that spans frontend and backend - state ownership, caching, API shape. Exposes which side the engineer actually lives on.
Live feature build
Ship a small feature end-to-end in 90 minutes: schema, API route, UI. We care about sequencing and prioritisation, not CSS polish.
Scope negotiation round
Given an ambiguous product request, can they break it down, push back where needed, and land on something shippable by end of sprint?
Production walkthrough
A real feature they built, in production, that you can actually see. Vague answers mean vague experience.
Async communication check
Review of a real PR. Clear feedback, not performative thoroughness.
From brief to engineer-at-desk in 2–3 weeks.
Role definition
We lock in requirements, seniority, stack, team fit, and the non-obvious things (timezone overlap, oncall, tooling).
Curated shortlist
Sourced from our active talent network across Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Every candidate vetted by a Talzy engineer first.
Your interviews
You run the final technical rounds. We prep candidates on your stack and handle the scheduling friction.
Employ & onboard
Local contract, payroll, and equipment ready. Engineer joins your sprint cycle on day one.
Talzy vs the other options.
A side-by-side honest comparison against the common ways to hire a fullstack developer - marketplace contractors, in-house recruiting, and outsourcing agencies.
| Talzy | Toptal / Arc | In-house | Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first hire | 2–3 weeks | 3–6 weeks | 3–5 months | 4–8 weeks |
| Cost structure | Salary + flat fee | Hourly markup 50–100% | Fully loaded salary | 60–120% markup |
| Employment | Full-time employee | Contractor | Direct employee | Vendor staff |
| You own the relationship | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Long-term retention support | Yes - career program | No | Your HR | No |
| Replacement if it fails | Included | Case by case | You re-recruit | Depends on contract |
Our first hire through Talzy was a senior fullstack. Six months later we have shipped four major features with exactly one engineer. That never happens. Interview speed to ship was about 10 days including our own process.
