Proof over promises
Hire SaaS developers who prove the hard parts work
SaaS products live and die on the parts that are hardest to fake in a portfolio: multi-tenant data, subscription logic, permissions, and the core workflow the product is actually built around.
How the challenge works for this category
Give three developers your SaaS brief and let each build a working piece of the hardest part — a core workflow, a data model in action, or a key integration — within 24 hours, so you know they can handle it before the full build starts.
