Hire Senior Front-End Developers Who Build UIs That Convert, Retain, and Scale

Front-end development is not decorating. It’s the discipline of translating design intent into code that loads fast, renders correctly on every device, meets accessibility standards, performs under real network conditions, and continues to be maintainable after 100 engineers have touched it.

The gap between a developer who writes HTML, CSS, and React, and one who architects a design system used by a 50-person product organization, owns Core Web Vitals as a business metric, and writes components that are accessible by default — is enormous.

We staff the latter. Our front-end developers have built the enterprise UIs, consumer web applications, and design systems that drive conversions and retention for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups — in your time zone, in English, at 50% of US market rates.

What Our Front-End Developers Build

Enterprise Web Applications & Dashboards

Complex data-rich UIs — multi-tenant SaaS dashboards, real-time analytics portals, role-based enterprise applications, and operations tools. Our front-end engineers manage the state management complexity, performance optimization, and accessibility requirements that enterprise UIs demand.

Design Systems & Component Libraries

Token-based design systems built with Radix UI, shadcn/ui, or custom components — documented in Storybook, integrated with Figma tokens, and consumed by multiple product teams. Our front-end engineers build the component infrastructure that makes your entire product consistent and fast to iterate on.

High-Converting Landing Pages & Marketing Sites

Next.js-powered marketing sites, landing page systems, and content platforms built for search performance and conversion optimization. Our front-end engineers treat LCP, FID, and CLS as business metrics — because page speed directly impacts conversion rate and SEO rankings.

Accessible & Inclusive UIs

WCAG 2.1 AA compliant interfaces built with proper semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support. Our front-end engineers build accessibility in — not as an audit afterthought, but as a design constraint from the first component.

Progressive Web Applications (PWA)

Offline-capable, installable web applications built with service workers, web app manifests, and background sync. Our front-end engineers build PWAs that feel native on mobile without the overhead of a separate mobile app codebase.

Client Success Story: Design System for a Global Consumer Electronics Brand

A global consumer electronics brand serving tens of millions of monthly visitors across regional websites had a front-end that had grown inconsistent across product lines and markets — different component patterns, wildly different performance profiles, and no shared design language. Our front-end engineers built a unified design system using Radix UI primitives and Tailwind CSS with a token-based theming layer that could accommodate per-region brand variations without forking components. Storybook documentation with visual regression testing via Chromatic was integrated into the CI pipeline. LCP improved from an average of 3.9 seconds to 1.1 seconds across regional sites. New feature development time decreased 60% as product teams consumed shared components instead of rebuilding common UI patterns from scratch.

Client Success Story: Accessibility Compliance Unlocking Enterprise Sales for a B2B SaaS Platform

A B2B SaaS platform serving clients in regulated industries — government, healthcare, and financial services — had accessibility compliance blocking six enterprise deals simultaneously. Procurement teams at these organizations required WCAG 2.1 AA compliance before purchase orders could be issued. Our front-end engineers audited the existing interface, identified 340 unique accessibility violations, and rebuilt the core dashboard components with semantic HTML, proper ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader testing on NVDA and VoiceOver. axe-core was integrated into the CI pipeline to prevent regressions. All six stalled deals closed within 90 days of the accessibility work completing — directly recovering millions in pipeline that had been stuck for months.

Why Companies Choose Our Front-End Developers

  • Design system discipline: They don’t just write components — they design component APIs, composition patterns, and theming systems that scale to large product organizations without becoming maintenance burdens
  • Performance as a business metric: Core Web Vitals, bundle size, and server response times are tracked in every engagement — because performance is a competitive advantage, not a nice-to-have
  • Accessibility by default: WCAG compliance from the first component — not retrofitted during an accessibility audit, which costs 10x more and produces worse results
  • Figma fluency: Our front-end engineers work directly with design files, catch design-to-code ambiguities early, and maintain productive collaborative relationships with product designers
  • 50% cost savings: Fully-burdened rates including salary, benefits, taxes, and HR

Engagement Models

  • Individual Front-End Engineer — A senior front-end developer embedded in your existing product team. Ideal for adding Core Web Vitals expertise, a design system architect, an accessibility specialist, or a performance engineer to a team that’s already shipping but struggling with technical front-end debt.
  • Front-End Product Pods (2–3 engineers) — A coordinated front-end squad with QA and design system support. Common for teams building new product surfaces, migrating from a legacy front-end, or launching a design system that multiple product teams will consume.
  • Full Front-End Teams (4–15+ engineers) — Complete front-end engineering organizations with design system architects, component engineers, performance specialists, and front-end QA — for large product platforms where front-end consistency and performance are competitive advantages.
  • Contract-to-Hire Front-End Engineers — Evaluate a front-end engineer’s design system discipline, accessibility practice, and TypeScript rigor in your actual codebase before committing. Component API design and Lighthouse audit improvements reveal real skill quickly.

How To Vet Front-End Developers

Our front-end vetting goes far beyond React fluency — we screen for the intersection of engineering rigor, design collaboration skill, and performance discipline that distinguishes engineers who build maintainable UIs from those who create technical debt. The four-stage process:

  1. Technical screening — TypeScript strict mode (generics, discriminated unions, conditional types, utility types), React architecture (component composition, custom hook design, render optimization, Server Components), CSS layout and animation (Grid, Flexbox, CSS Custom Properties, animation performance on the compositor thread), accessibility fundamentals (ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, focus management), and performance tooling (Lighthouse, Web Vitals, React DevTools Profiler, Chrome Performance tab). Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
  2. Front-end take-home exercise — Build an accessible, performant UI component: a filterable data table with keyboard navigation, ARIA grid roles, optimistic updates, error states, loading skeletons, and a Storybook story with visual regression testing. Evaluated on accessibility, TypeScript correctness, performance budget adherence, and component API design.
  3. Live technical interview — Core Web Vitals debugging on a provided slow page (identifying LCP, CLS, and INP issues with DevTools), code review on a front-end codebase with embedded accessibility violations and performance anti-patterns, and design system architecture discussion (token structure, theming approach, component composition patterns).
  4. Design collaboration screening — Front-end engineers who work with designers must speak both languages. We evaluate Figma fluency, the ability to identify implementation complexity in design files before committing to scope, and constructive design pushback when designs would create accessibility or performance problems.

What to Look for When Hiring Front-End Developers

Senior front-end engineers think about component APIs with the same rigor that back-end engineers think about REST APIs — because a poorly designed component interface is just as painful to refactor as a poorly designed database schema.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

  • They have a real accessibility practice: they test with keyboard navigation and a screen reader (NVDA or VoiceOver), not just axe-core — because automated tools catch approximately 30% of accessibility violations, and the other 70% require human testing and judgment
  • They can read a React DevTools Profiler flame graph and identify exactly which component is causing unnecessary re-renders, what’s causing it (unstable reference passed as prop, missing useMemo, context re-render), and how to fix it without over-memoizing
  • They design component APIs with consumption in mind: they prefer composition over configuration props, they keep the API surface minimal, and they document the component’s accessibility contract alongside its visual behavior in Storybook
  • They understand CSS rendering performance: they animate on transform and opacity (compositor thread) rather than top/left (layout thread), they understand what triggers layout reflow, and they’ve used will-change deliberately rather than speculatively

Red flags to watch for:

  • Using any in TypeScript or disabling strict mode — a sign they’re avoiding the type system discipline that makes large front-end codebases maintainable
  • No screen reader testing — candidates who rely entirely on automated accessibility tools are shipping interfaces that fail users with assistive technology
  • Using inline styles for layout — a signal of CSS discipline gaps that tend to compound as a codebase grows
  • No experience with React Server Components or understanding of when SSR vs. CSR vs. SSG is appropriate — candidates who default to client-side rendering for everything may be creating avoidable Core Web Vitals problems

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

  • “Walk me through the Core Web Vitals metrics — LCP, CLS, and INP. For each one, describe a specific front-end implementation pattern that hurts the metric and a specific fix.”
  • “You’re designing a Button component for a design system. Walk me through the props API you’d design, the accessibility contract you’d document, and the visual regression testing strategy.”
  • “Explain the difference between useMemo, useCallback, and React.memo. Give me a concrete example of a real performance problem that each one solves, and a case where using it would be premature optimization.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your front-end developers use TypeScript?
Yes — TypeScript is the default for all our front-end engineers. They write fully typed components, hooks, context providers, and API integration layers from day one. Strict mode is always on. any is a code smell they avoid.
Can your front-end engineers build and maintain a design system?
Yes — design system development is one of our most requested front-end engagement types. Our engineers build component libraries with Radix UI primitives, document them in Storybook, integrate with Figma tokens via Style Dictionary, and set up visual regression testing with Chromatic. The result is a design system that actually gets used and stays maintained.
Do your front-end developers handle accessibility (WCAG) compliance?
Yes. Our front-end engineers build accessible interfaces from scratch — semantic HTML, ARIA roles and attributes, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver. They integrate axe-core into your CI pipeline to catch accessibility regressions automatically.
How quickly can a front-end developer start?
Most front-end engineers can begin within 1–2 weeks. You interview and approve every candidate before any engagement starts.
