Hire senior
Full-Stack developers.
Start this week.
Startups don't need specialists. They need people who can ship a feature end-to-end. Southville has 347 vetted full-stack engineers who own the DB, the API, and the UI — ready this week.
Senior Full-Stack devs, without the senior-dev wait.
Most engineering hires take 3–4 months. Ours take a week. Here's what makes that possible.
Pre-vetted, always.
Every Full-Stack engineer passes our 8-point assessment — technical, system design, communication, culture. 1 in 30 applicants make it.
Real seniors, not juniors in costumes.
Average 7+ years of production Full-Stack experience. Seen it, shipped it, fixed it.
Timezone-aligned.
At least 4 hours of daily overlap with your team — US, UK, EU, ME, APAC, ANZ. They show up to standup awake and ready.
Month-to-month. No lock-in.
Bill monthly with one week's notice to cancel. 90-day no-cost engineer replacement if it isn't working out. We win when you keep them.
Full-Stack's in everything. So are our engineers.
Six use cases where our Full-Stack team consistently outships in-house engineering orgs.
Early-stage MVPs
Seed/Series-A startups who need velocity over specialization. One person, one feature, shipped weekly.
SaaS products
Next.js + Postgres, Django + Vue, Rails + Hotwire. The stacks that actually ship SaaS to paying users.
Internal tools
Admin panels, ops dashboards, workflow builders. Full ownership from DB schema to UI polish.
Feature teams
Embedded in your product team to own vertical slices. Backend, frontend, tests, deploy — all them.
Prototype validation
2-week 'is this worth building' prototypes. Real auth, real DB, real deploy — not a Figma file.
Platform migrations
Legacy PHP/jQuery to modern Next.js + Node. Incremental, zero-downtime, customer-invisible.
Six real engineers. Ready this week.

What it actually costs.
No "let's get on a call to discuss pricing." Hourly rates by seniority. Billed weekly, no markup.
Mid Full-Stack
- Feature development in your Full-Stack stack
- Comfortable with code reviews & tests
- Handles tickets end-to-end independently
- Daily standup in your timezone
Senior Full-Stack
- Scopes and owns technical areas autonomously
- System design, DB schema, API contracts
- Mentors mid-level engineers on the team
- Handles ambiguous requirements, pushes back with data
Lead Full-Stack
- Greenfield architecture & tech strategy
- Cross-team technical leadership
- Performance, security, and scalability reviews
- Interview & hire engineers to grow your team
- Former tech leads at top PK/MENA tech cos

From inquiry to onboarded — in 7 days.
No tests to run, no recruitment fees, no surprise costs. Just vetted people, ready to work.
Tracking academic and career outcomes for hundreds of low-income students isn't trivial. Southville's team understood the data we needed and built something engineered to last.
Questions, answered.
Everything clients ask before hiring their first Full-Stack engineer from us.
Ask us anything →How much does it cost to hire a Full-Stack developer?
Rates range from mid-level to lead, depending on seniority and specialization. See our rates section above for current pricing.
Project-based engagements are quoted against scope — typically $15k–$250k+ depending on complexity. Volume discounts kick in for 3+ concurrent engineers.
How quickly can I hire a Full-Stack engineer?
Typically 5–7 days from your initial inquiry to an onboarded engineer. Day 1 we scope, day 2–3 we shortlist, day 4–5 you interview, day 7 they start.
For common roles we often move faster. For deeply specialized roles it can take 2–3 weeks.
What Full-Stack frameworks and tools are your developers experienced in?
Our bench covers the full modern Full-Stack ecosystem. Tell us your stack and we'll match engineers with hands-on production experience in it.
Can I interview developers before committing?
Yes — always, and at no charge. We send a shortlist of 2–3 vetted engineers with profiles, Loom intros, and code samples. You interview however you normally would (pair-coding, system design, behavioral — all fair game).
If none are a fit, we re-shortlist until they are. You only pay once an engineer starts billable work.
What if an engineer isn't the right fit?
Billing is month-to-month with one week's notice to cancel — you're never locked in.
First 90 days of an engagement: we'll replace the engineer at no cost — same process, new shortlist.
After 90 days: standard transition on your timeline with no penalties.
Do you offer part-time Full-Stack engineers?
Yes — minimum engagement is 20 hours/week. Below that it's hard to sustain context and quality for either side. Most clients start part-time and scale to full-time as the project grows.
Who owns the code your developers write?
You do, full stop. IP transfer is in every contract. Code sits in your repo from day one. You get complete documentation and clean handoff materials. No licensing, no lock-in, nothing "licensed back" to you — ever.
Hire beyond Full-Stack.
Same vetting, same rates, same 7-day matching process — for every major stack we run.
