A software engineer designs, builds, tests and maintains software systems using engineering discipline. The title spans specialisms from user interfaces and server code to data and machine learning, so hiring well starts with naming the one you need.
A full-stack developer works across the frontend and backend of an application, from the user interface to server logic and the database. Small teams often hire one to take a feature from idea to production without hand-offs.
A technical interview is a structured conversation in which engineers assess a candidate's knowledge, problem-solving and design judgement for a specific role. It usually follows a screening call or coding assessment and may include system design or live coding.
A backend developer builds the server-side systems that store data, apply business rules and serve applications through APIs. Hiring one is how a team secures correctness, security and room to grow in the layer users never see.
A frontend developer builds the parts of a website or web app that people see and use in the browser, turning designs into fast, accessible interfaces. Teams usually bring one in when the interface is how customers judge the product.
