Product front ends
Dashboards, portals and admin tools where the interface carries real complexity. Data tables that stay usable at ten thousand rows, forms with conditional logic, state that survives a refresh.
Front-end engineering
Hire React Developers
Front-end engineers who have shipped React in production and can pick up a codebase that someone else started. They work inside your repository and your review standards, not alongside them.
What our React Developers do
Most teams who want to hire React developers are not starting a new application. They have one already, it was built by somebody who has moved on, and the next feature keeps slipping because nobody wants to touch the state management.
That is the skill worth screening for, and it is not the one most interviews test. Writing React from scratch is comparatively easy. Reading somebody else’s React, working out why it was built that way, and changing it without breaking three screens elsewhere is the job on a real codebase.
Our engineers join your repository, your standup and your review process. You keep ownership of the code and the decisions. If after two weeks the fit is wrong, you say so and we replace the person or end it, because a bad match discovered early costs far less than one nobody wanted to raise.
What they build
The work this role actually does here, on client products that are live.
Design systems
A component library your whole team builds from, documented and versioned. Usually the cheapest thing you can do if three teams are currently writing their own buttons.
Performance work
Bundle splitting, render profiling and the Core Web Vitals work that decides whether the page feels instant. Measured before and after, not asserted.
Rebuilds off legacy front ends
Moving a jQuery or AngularJS front end onto React without a rewrite freeze, one route at a time while the old one keeps serving.

Named rather than implied, so you can check it against your own job description before we talk.

Is this the right way to buy?
Hire this way when
- You have a back end and a design, and the front end is what is missing
- A React codebase has grown past what the original team can maintain
- You need a design system built once rather than reinvented per team
- Hiring a senior React engineer locally is taking longer than the roadmap allows
Look elsewhere when
- The design does not exist yet, in which case a designer comes first
- The work is one screen, where a fixed scope project is cheaper than a hire
- You want the whole product built and handed over, which is Product Engineering
- Nobody on your side can review pull requests, because then nothing merges
How hiring runs
-
Tell us the gap
What the team is building, what is missing, and how long you expect to need it. A rough answer is enough to start.
-
Profiles within a week
You get a shortlist of engineers who are actually free, with the work they have shipped here. Not a database of people we would have to recruit first.
-
You interview them
Technical interview, pair programming, take-home, whatever your normal process is. You decide, not us. Nobody joins your team without your yes.
-
They start inside your process
Your repository, your board, your standups, your review standards. We do not run a parallel process alongside yours.
Agreed before anyone starts
Written into the contract rather than promised on a call. These are the terms people forget to ask about until they need them.
You interview and approve every engineer before they start
One month notice either way, so neither side is trapped
A replacement at our cost if someone is not working out in the first month
Code, accounts and credentials are yours from the first commit
An NDA before any of your systems are discussed, not after
No recruitment fee if you later hire someone permanently

Questions we get asked
Do they work in our repository or yours?
Yours. Our engineers work inside your repository, your branch strategy and your review process. We do not run a parallel setup and hand over a zip file at the end.
Can they take over a codebase we did not write?
Yes, and it is a large part of what this role does. Expect the first week to be reading and asking questions rather than shipping features. That week saves months.
Do they know TypeScript?
Yes. We treat it as the default for anything that will still be running in two years. If your codebase is plain JavaScript we work in plain JavaScript rather than converting it without being asked.
What if the person is not working out?
Tell us in the first month and we replace them at our cost. After that, one month notice either way.
Can they also do back-end work?
A React specialist will do light API work. If you need someone who owns a feature end to end, hire a full stack developer instead.
Tell us what your team is missing.
Send the role, the stack and how long you expect to need it. You get profiles of engineers who are actually free, not a sales call.
