Startups, hire generalist seniors first. Here's why. In the early stages, your product will evolve in ways you can’t predict. The challenges you face today will change quickly, and you need a team that can adapt fast. Generalist senior software engineers are key. They see the big picture and can handle various software needs (Frontend, Backend, DevOps, etc.) as they arise. Here are three reasons why: Flexibility: They can switch between tasks and focus on what’s most important instead of being confined to a single discipline. You won’t waste time on tasks that don’t matter just to keep your engineers occupied. Experience: They bring valuable insights, avoid common pitfalls, and most importantly, their software works. There’s a huge difference between software that looks promising and software that has a solid quality to solve users’ pain points. Efficiency: They deliver value without needing constant supervision. They recognize the most important things to work on and help you understand what should be built, leveraging insights from customer behavior and their experience. Hiring specialists too early can lead to inefficiencies. You don’t want a frontend engineer when your main issue is backend-related, and vice versa. When Facebook saw the mobile revolution coming, it had to train its engineers to build mobile apps. In their case, the engineers were the ones who drove the change, only because they were "Software Engineers" and not "Something Engineers". What will the next big change be? Can you predict it? Can your team adapt to it? Want to build a strong, adaptable team? Start with senior generalists. It’s that simple. Surprisingly, there are many engineers like this, even in your pipeline. You don’t need to hunt for them. If you need help finding and evaluating such gems from your existing pool, book a call with us, and we’ll discuss how we can support you. #Startups #Hiring #SoftwareEngineering

Hiring developers is a journey. But I’ve learned that skills can be taught—passion and curiosity can’t. As a co-founder, I’m always on the lookout for people who bring more than just technical skills to the table. While coding languages and frameworks can be learned, finding team members who are genuinely excited about problem-solving, who bring curiosity to each challenge, and who are always eager to improve—that’s invaluable. Some of the best hires I’ve made have had unconventional paths, and it’s often that fresh perspective that leads to breakthrough ideas. In the end, building a strong team isn’t just about filling roles; it’s about fostering a culture of growth, creativity, and continuous learning. What’s one quality you think is crucial in a dev team? #Hiring #TechLeadership #FullStackDeveloper #BuildingTeams #StartupCulture #ContinuousLearning #viralpost #startup #trendingpost #linkedinconnections #fullstackdeveloper #mobileappdevelopment
