They handle both frontend and backend development seamlessly.
How do you vet MERN stack developers before I hire them?
Our vetting includes live coding sessions building full-stack features, system design discussions for scalable MERN architectures, React component design exercises, API development tasks, and database schema design. We evaluate both frontend and backend skills plus their ability to integrate them effectively. Only about 3% pass.
Can I hire MERN stack developers for my existing team?
Yes, absolutely. When you hire MERN stack developers through Salt, they integrate seamlessly with your existing team, processes, and tools. They participate in your standups, code reviews, and planning sessions. We specifically match developers who fit your tech stack and team culture.
