Hire React developers

React developers for the screens your business runs on.

Acasa Labs is a small software team in Surat, India. You can hire a React developer from the team whose nine systems all run on React, from Kraftr's catalogue studio and GymFast's dashboard to the control dashboard of a private options trading platform, plus React Native apps for both stores. A senior reviews every pull request, and you start with a trial week.

Tell us about the roleSee what we built

Trial week first. You own the code.

The problem

Every screen works. Together, they are a mess.

React apps rarely fail on day one. They fail slowly: state passed through six components, effects that fire twice, a table that freezes at a thousand rows, and a component folder nobody wants to open. You need a developer who writes React that the next developer can read, and who knows when a problem is the component and when it is the data.

The role

What your React developer does

  1. 01

    Builds dashboards and app screens

    Data-heavy screens with tables, filters, and forms that stay fast as the data grows, in TypeScript with components your team can reuse.

  2. 02

    Untangles state and data fetching

    Server data in a query layer, local state where it belongs, and fewer effects, so screens stop flickering and refetching.

  3. 03

    Works across web and mobile

    Shared types, API clients, and logic between a React or Next.js web app and a React Native app, when you have both.

  4. 04

    Tests what matters

    Tests around the flows that make money or lose data, and accessible components that work with a keyboard and a screen reader.

From production

The React work behind the people you would hire.

  • A studio app, not a prompt box

    Kraftr

    Kraftr's React interface gives brands a wardrobe, a model library, scenes, collections, shot lists, and credit packs, with instant and overnight batch generation modes.

  • One brand setting, every screen themed

    GymFast

    GymFast's web dashboard and mobile apps take each gym's brand colors from one setting, across members, plans, invoices, classes, and enquiries.

  • A dashboard that keeps up with the market

    Options trading platform

    On a private options trading platform, the dashboard receives market state through a WebSocket gateway throttled per instrument, and lets the client compare runs and build strategies visually.

  • A drag-and-drop admin

    The Sharp Interiors

    The Sharp Interiors' custom admin orders projects and the images inside each project by drag and drop, with feature images and visibility toggles.

Who you get

One developer, and a senior behind them.

We are a small team, not a bench of hundreds. You get a developer who worked on the systems above, and a senior engineer who reviews every pull request before it reaches you. You talk to the developer before you sign, and the trial week shows you how they work in your codebase.

React skills you can expect

  • React, TypeScript
  • Next.js, Vite
  • TanStack Query, Zod
  • Tailwind CSS, accessible components
  • WebSockets, server-sent events
  • React Native, Expo
  • Vitest, Playwright

How it starts

A trial week, then your rhythm.

  1. Before day one

    A call about the app: what it does, which screens hurt, and what is next on the roadmap. You meet the developer before anything is signed.

  2. Trial week

    The app running locally, one real ticket from your backlog, and a reviewed pull request by the end of the week.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4

    Features from your backlog, plus a short written note on the components, state, and data fetching that slow the team down, in the order we would fix them.

  4. Every month

    A review of what shipped and of that list, so cleanup happens alongside features.

Risk-free first week: one developer on one defined task. Continue and the week is billed at the normal rate. Stop within the week and you pay nothing.

Engagement models

Three ways to work with a React developer.

  • Dedicated developer

    Full time on your product, about 160 hours a month

    An ongoing roadmap and a backlog that will not run out

    $1,500–2,000 a month

  • Part-time developer

    Half time, about 80 hours a month, on fixed days

    A product that is live and needs steady work, not a sprint

    $750–1,000 a month

  • Fixed scope

    A defined piece of work, priced before we start

    A feature, a migration, or an MVP with a clear finish line

    From $1,500, priced per scope

Time zones

How your day overlaps with ours.

We set our working day around yours, with at least 4 hours of overlap every working day, including a daily call for US clients in their morning. India is on UTC+5:30 with no daylight saving. Here is what that means from where you are.

  • UAE

    Dubai

    Your 08:30–17:30 is our 10:00–19:00

    IST is 1 h 30 min ahead

    Your whole working day

    Work like a team in the next building. Calls any time in your day.

  • UK

    London

    Your 09:00–13:00 is our 14:30–18:30 (13:30–17:30 in summer), longer on request

    IST is 5 h 30 min ahead (4 h 30 min in British Summer Time)

    At least 4 hours

    Standup at the start of your day, pairing until your lunch, a written update before you log off.

  • Australia

    Sydney

    Your 13:00–17:00 is our 08:30–12:30 (07:30–11:30 in summer)

    IST is 4 h 30 min behind (5 h 30 min in Australian summer)

    At least 4 hours

    We start early so your afternoon is shared. The work lands before your next morning.

  • US East

    New York

    Your 08:00–12:00 is our 18:30–22:30 (17:30–21:30 in summer)

    IST is 10 h 30 min ahead (9 h 30 min in US summer)

    At least 4 hours, with a call every working day

    A call at the start of your day, and a pull request waiting each morning that was built while you slept.

  • US West

    San Francisco

    Your 08:00–12:00 is our 21:30–01:30 (20:30–00:30 in summer)

    IST is 13 h 30 min ahead (12 h 30 min in US summer)

    At least 4 hours, with a call every working day

    We shift late for your morning: a daily call, then the work continues through your afternoon.

Ownership

You own the code.

  • Repositories sit in your GitHub or GitLab organization from the first commit.
  • Cloud accounts and credentials are yours; we work with access you grant and can revoke.
  • If you stop, nothing is held back: the code, the docs, and the deploy steps stay with you.

Honest trade-offs

When you should not hire a React developer from us

If your app is in Angular or Vue, hire someone who works in it every day; our work is React. If the job is a visual redesign, you need a designer first, and then a developer. And if you need a few screens with a clear end, ask for a fixed scope instead of a monthly hire.

Proof

Read the case studies before you hire.

Questions

Before you hire a React developer.

Can a React developer also build our mobile app?

Often, in React Native. GymFast's web dashboard and its three Expo apps come from the same team and share one API.

Should our React app move to Next.js?

Only if it needs server rendering, search visibility, or a backend in the same app. A tool behind a login can stay a single-page app.

Can they take over a React codebase someone else built?

Yes. The first week goes into running it, reading it, and writing down what they find before they change anything outside the ticket.

Do your developers write TypeScript?

Yes, for all new work. If your app is JavaScript, they can add TypeScript gradually, file by file, without stopping features.

How do we stay in control of the work?

Everything happens in your repository, your tracker, and your standup. A senior from our team reviews each pull request, and you approve every merge.
