Hire React developers for interfaces people use every day
React and TypeScript engineers who build web applications, dashboards and design systems, often with Next.js. They work in your codebase and your design files, and treat accessibility and load time as part of the feature.

What our React developers build
- Web applicationsMulti-step forms, permissions, saved drafts and the many small states a real product has. Built in TypeScript, so the screen and the API agree on the shape of the data.
- Dashboards and data-heavy screensTables with server-side sorting and filters, charts that stay readable, and long lists that scroll without stuttering. Loading, empty and error states are designed, not left to chance.
- Design systemsComponent libraries documented in Storybook, with design tokens shared with your designers' Figma files. One button, built once, used everywhere.
- Next.js sites and applicationsServer Components, the right rendering choice for each route, and caching that matches how often the content changes. Metadata and structured data set up for search from the start.
- Accessibility and performance fixesKeyboard and screen reader problems found and fixed, focus handled in modals and menus, and Core Web Vitals brought down where they hurt. Often on an existing app rather than a new one.

What the practical task checks for React
- Component design: small, typed components with sensible props, and state kept where it belongs.
- Data fetching with loading, error and empty states handled, and no chain of requests waiting on each other.
- Accessibility from the start: semantic HTML before ARIA, labelled inputs, and focus that moves correctly in a modal.
- Performance sense: no needless re-renders, heavy code split out, and images sized for the screen.
- Tests in React Testing Library that check what the user sees, not how the component is built inside.
How we vet React developers
Four stages, before anyone joins your work. You meet the people we propose before anything is signed.
- Portfolio & experience reviewRelevant projects, technical depth and hands-on experience are reviewed first.
- Technical assessmentA practical task tests code quality, problem-solving and the stack the project uses.
- Quality & team reviewSenior engineers review the work for implementation quality, communication and collaboration.
- Final approvalConfirmed against the project's requirements and Backendz's quality standards before joining a team.
Engage the way the work needs
- Full-time on your teamAn engineer who works with you every day, in your repository, your tickets and your standups. They take work from your backlog like anyone else on the team.
- Part-timeA share of an engineer's week for work that does not need a full-time seat, such as keeping an integration running or a steady flow of smaller changes.
- For a sprintAn engineer or two for a defined piece of work: a feature, a migration step, an audit. The scope is agreed up front and the work is handed back at the end.
- For the long termA dedicated team that grows with your roadmap. The same engineers stay on your product, so what they learn about it stays with you.
Hiring React developers: questions we are asked
Do your React developers work with Next.js?
Yes. Our React engineers build with Next.js, work with the App Router and Server Components, and choose static, dynamic or cached rendering per route.
Can a React developer build our design system?
Yes. They build the component library in React and TypeScript, document it in Storybook, and share tokens with your designers so the code and the Figma files stay in step.
Do they build accessible interfaces?
Yes, as part of the normal work rather than a final check. They test with the keyboard, a screen reader and automated tools such as axe, and work to WCAG 2.2 AA unless your project needs something different.
Can our React developer also build our React Native app?
Sometimes, as React Native is on our team and shares much of the same thinking. For a full mobile build, with app store releases and offline behaviour, an engineer from our mobile team is usually the better fit.
Can they work from our existing designs?
Yes. They build from your Figma files, raise questions early where a design leaves a state undefined, and work in your design system if you have one.

Need a whole team?
Still running on workarounds?
Book a 30-minute call with an engineer. Tell us what's breaking and we'll tell you what we would build, how long it would take and what it would cost, before you commit to anything.
