Hire Senior React Developers Who Build UIs That Drive Revenue

The difference between a React developer who can follow a tutorial and one who can architect a design system, optimize a dashboard for millions of users, or lead a front-end team through a platform rewrite — is enormous. We connect you with the latter.

Our React developers have built the user interfaces for Fortune 500 enterprise platforms, fast-growing SaaS unicorns, and e-commerce brands generating hundreds of millions in annual revenue. They ship pixel-perfect, accessible, and performant UIs — in your time zone, in English, at 50% of US market rates.

What Our React Developers Build

Enterprise Dashboards & Data-Rich UIs

Complex data visualization, real-time updating interfaces, role-based permission systems, and multi-tenant SaaS portals. Our React engineers handle the state management complexity, performance tuning, and accessibility requirements that enterprise-grade UIs demand.

Consumer-Facing Web Applications

Landing pages that convert. Onboarding flows that activate. E-commerce experiences that sell. Our React developers understand that front-end code is customer-facing business logic — and they treat it accordingly.

Next.js Applications & SSR/SSG

Server-side rendering, static site generation, incremental static regeneration, and App Router architecture. Our engineers build Next.js applications that rank in search, load instantly, and scale without pain.

React Native Mobile Apps

Cross-platform mobile applications that share business logic with your web frontend. Our React Native developers build apps that feel native, perform natively, and ship to iOS and Android from a single codebase.

Design System Implementation

Component libraries, Storybook documentation, Figma-to-code workflows, and token-based theming systems that make your entire product consistent and fast to iterate on.

Client Success Story: Legacy Front-End Modernization for a Fortune 500 Technology Platform

A Fortune 500 technology company’s core product had accumulated a decade of jQuery and AngularJS code that new engineers struggled to understand and product managers struggled to ship features on. Front-end cycle times averaged three weeks per feature. Our React engineers led a phased migration to React 18 and TypeScript — using a strangler-fig approach to ship new React components alongside the legacy codebase, feature by feature, with zero disruption to production. Within eight months, the legacy front-end had been fully replaced. Front-end feature cycle time dropped from three weeks to four days. Engineer onboarding time fell 60%.

Client Success Story: React Native Mobile App for a National Consumer Brand

A national consumer brand with strong web traffic was losing mobile customers to competitors with polished native apps. Building separate iOS and Android apps was cost-prohibitive for their engineering team size. Our React Native engineers built a cross-platform mobile app that shared business logic and data-fetching layers with the existing React web front-end — delivering native-quality interactions on both platforms from a single codebase. The app launched with a 4.7 App Store rating, mobile conversion rates increased 34% versus the previous mobile web experience, and total development cost came in 40% below the initial estimates for separate native builds.

Why Companies Choose Our React Developers

  • Architecture-first mindset: They design component hierarchies and state structures before they write a line of code — because refactoring a poorly architected React app costs 10x more than designing it right the first time
  • Performance obsessive: Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, code splitting, memoization — our engineers make React fast, not just functional
  • Design collaboration: They read Figma fluently, push back constructively on designs that won’t work in code, and ship UIs that match the spec
  • TypeScript by default: Every component, hook, and API call is typed — because bugs caught at compile time don’t reach production
  • 50% cost savings: Fully-burdened rates that include salary, benefits, taxes, and HR

Engagement Models

  • Individual React Engineer — One senior React developer contributing to your product UI. Ideal for feature delivery, design system work, performance optimization, or owning a specific product surface end-to-end.
  • Front-End Pods (2–3 React developers) — A coordinated front-end squad with React engineers, a UX reviewer, and QA coverage. Ideal for teams building new product surfaces, migrating legacy front-ends, or launching a design system.
  • Full Front-End Organizations (4–15+ engineers) — React architects, developers, design-system engineers, and front-end QA — for large product platforms requiring consistent front-end quality at scale.
  • Contract-to-Hire React Engineers — Test drive a React developer on your actual product before committing to a full-time hire. You’ll know quickly whether the architecture instincts and communication style fit.

How To Vet React Developers

Our React vetting focuses on architecture and judgment — not algorithmic trivia. The four-stage process:

  1. Technical screening — React hooks in depth (when to avoid them, how to design custom hooks correctly, the rules and why they exist), component architecture, state management decision-making, virtual DOM reconciliation, and Server Components. Over 90% of applicants are filtered at this stage.
  2. Take-home exercise — Build a data-rich interface: a filterable, sortable data table with accessible interactions, optimistic updates, and error boundaries. Evaluated on component API design, accessibility, performance, and test coverage.
  3. Live technical interview — Performance debugging with React DevTools Profiler, code review on a realistic React codebase with real anti-patterns embedded, and discussion of design system architecture trade-offs.
  4. Design collaboration screening — React developers must work productively with designers. We evaluate Figma fluency, the ability to flag implementation complexity early, and constructive design pushback.

What to Look for When Hiring React Developers

Senior React developers understand hooks deeply enough to know when not to use them — and they’ve debugged real performance bottlenecks, not just run Lighthouse on a demo project.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

  • They can explain React’s reconciliation algorithm and when useMemo and useCallback are actually necessary vs. premature optimization — a question that quickly separates senior engineers from intermediate ones
  • They understand how Server Components reshape performance considerations and when to reach for client-side state vs. server-side rendering
  • They have a real accessibility practice: semantic HTML, ARIA attributes used correctly, keyboard navigation, and screen reader testing — not just an axe-core scan that shows zero violations
  • They design component APIs with other engineers in mind: prop interfaces are minimal, composition is preferred over configuration, and Storybook documentation exists before the component ships

Red flags to watch for:

  • Treating Redux as the default state management solution for every React project — a sign they’re pattern-matching rather than reasoning about the problem
  • Not understanding useEffect cleanup — a source of memory leaks and subscription bugs that shows up in production, not in code review
  • Building inaccessible components and expecting accessibility to be someone else’s job
  • Inability to read a React DevTools Profiler flame graph — meaning they’ve never actually diagnosed a performance regression

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

  • “Walk me through React’s reconciliation algorithm. When does React re-render a child component, and what are the specific tools you use to prevent unnecessary re-renders in a large list?”
  • “When is useEffect the wrong tool? Give me a concrete example from production code you’ve written.”
  • “How would you architect a design system component library that supports three different brand themes without forking components?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your React developers work with TypeScript?
Yes — TypeScript is the default for all our React engineers. They write fully typed components, hooks, and API integrations from day one. If your existing codebase uses JavaScript, they can also work within it and incrementally introduce TypeScript where appropriate.
Can your React developers build both web and mobile (React Native)?
We have engineers who specialize in both. Some focus exclusively on React web, others specialize in React Native mobile, and some are fluent in both. We’ll match you with the skill profile that fits your roadmap.
How do you assess React developers for senior-level proficiency?
Our React vetting covers component architecture design, state management decisions, performance optimization techniques (memoization, code splitting, virtualization), accessibility (WCAG), testing practices, and TypeScript proficiency. We use real-world exercises — not LeetCode puzzles — because enterprise React is about architecture and judgment, not algorithmic trivia.
Can your React engineers work directly with our design team?
Absolutely. Our React developers are experienced collaborating with product designers using Figma, Sketch, and Zeplin. They ask clarifying questions on ambiguous designs, flag implementation complexity early, and maintain productive relationships with design counterparts.
