Hire SaaS developers who've actually run the billing and onboarding, not just the demo.
Multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing, and the onboarding flow that turns a signup into an active account, by engineers who've owned the unglamorous parts of a SaaS product that determine whether it actually retains customers.
Data isolation and tenant-scoped access designed in from the schema up.
Stripe-based plans, upgrades, proration, and dunning that actually recovers revenue.
Signup-to-value flows instrumented to find and fix the actual drop-off points.
Role-based access and org-level settings built for real customer support needs.
What strong SaaS Developers know cold.

Hiring for something adjacent?
Answered before you ask.
Multi-tenancy, subscription billing, and account lifecycle management are load-bearing from day one, decisions made in week one about tenant isolation or plan structure are expensive to unwind later, unlike most single-tenant apps.
Both, Stripe handles payment processing, but plan logic, proration, upgrade/downgrade paths, and dunning need real application code around it, and that's usually where the actual engineering effort goes.
Yes. Row-level security, tenant-scoped schemas, or separate databases per tenant depending on your compliance needs and scale, chosen deliberately rather than defaulting to one pattern.
Yes. That's often where a SaaS engagement starts, since a strong backend behind a leaky onboarding funnel still loses the customers who never activate.
Every way out of this hire is already written down.
Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.
You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.
Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.
You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
