React & Next.js Developers
A frontend developer who already works in React and Next.js the way modern teams actually build: the App Router, server components, and a real component library, not a jQuery-era mental model. Embedded in your repo, your design system, and your sprint, hourly or full-time.

Frontend hiring is slower than the rest of the stack
React and Next.js move fast enough that a generalist hire often needs weeks to get productive: relearning the App Router, server versus client components, and the specific state and data-fetching patterns your codebase already uses. A traditional hire also locks you into months of interviews for a role you may only need at full intensity for a quarter. Bringing in a developer who already works this way, for exactly the time you need them, closes both gaps at once.
What they actually do
- Build and ship UI in your existing Next.js codebase, following the patterns your team already uses
- Work with the App Router: server components, streaming, and the client and server boundary
- Wire real API and database integrations, not just static mockups
- Fix performance regressions: bundle size, hydration cost, and Core Web Vitals
- Extend your design system and component library rather than starting a parallel one
- Write code that passes your existing review process and CI, not a separate standard
How it works
- 1
Scope the role
1 dayWe talk through the stack specifics: your version of React and Next.js, state management, styling approach, and what the role needs to cover.
- 2
Match a developer
2–3 daysYou get one or two developers whose recent work is actually in Next.js at this depth, not a generic frontend resume.
- 3
Trial period
3–5 daysA short, paid trial on real tickets in your codebase, so both sides confirm the fit before committing further.
- 4
Embed with your team
OngoingThe developer joins your standups, your repo, and your tools, hourly for a defined scope or full-time as an ongoing hire.
- 5
Stay supported
OngoingA senior engineer is available to review pull requests and step in if scope grows beyond one developer.
How we deliver
- 1
Discovery & Scoping
1-3 daysWe start by understanding the actual problem and your existing systems, not just the brief.
- 2
Architecture & Plan
2-4 daysWe map the technical approach and integration points before any code gets written.
- 3
Build
1-8 weeks, scoped to your projectAI-augmented development that moves fast without skipping review.
- 4
Test & Launch
2-3 daysReal testing against real scenarios before it touches a live user.
- 5
Tune & Support
OngoingWe monitor and refine in the weeks after launch. This isn't a handoff and disappear.
What you get out of it
- Frontend capacity that is productive in your codebase in days, not weeks
- Someone who already thinks in the App Router and server components, not learning on your time
- Flexibility to scale from an hourly arrangement to a full-time hire as the need grows
- A senior engineer backing the work, not a single point of failure
Questions we get about this
No, but they need to already know React and Next.js at the depth your codebase uses. The trial period is exactly where they get oriented in your specific setup, on real, low-risk tickets.
