What a Full-Stack Developer does

They build features end to end, from the interface to the database. Day to day that means:

Building UI, APIs, and data models for new features

Owning features from design through deploy

Fixing bugs across the stack and keeping things stable

Working with the team on architecture and code reviews

A strong one ships whole features without waiting on anyone. Most teams hire one when they need velocity without a big team.
