Hire a React Native Developer — Or Skip the Hire Entirely

Full-time hiring takes 4–6 months. Your React Native upgrade doesn't have 4–6 months. A fixed-price engagement ships in 2–4 weeks with senior engineers who've shipped React Native since 2016.

North America-based. Senior only. No recruiter fees, no onboarding ramp, no notice period.

Before You Post The Job Listing

Hiring Takes 4–6 Months

Sourcing, interviews, offer, notice period, onboarding. If your security deadline is in 8 weeks or your upgrade is blocking a release, hiring isn't the answer to this problem.

Senior React Native Engineers Are Scarce

The pool of engineers who have actually shipped React Native in production since before Hermes is small. Everyone's hiring them. You're competing with Meta and Shopify.

One Hire Isn't Enough Anyway

A single React Native developer can't finish a major upgrade alone. You need pair review, platform-specific coverage, and bandwidth for when they're out. We bring a team.

What Teams Usually Actually Need

When we ask "what would this new hire actually be doing?", the answer almost always falls into one of these buckets. None of them require a permanent hire.

UPGRADE

A Stuck React Native Upgrade

You're on 0.68. You need to be on 0.76. Your team started and stalled. You don't need a full-time engineer — you need this specific piece of work to ship.

SECURITY

A Security Audit With A Deadline

SOC 2 vendor review. Enterprise security questionnaire. A CVE scan that came back red. You need findings documented and fixed — not a new headcount in the org chart.

MAINTENANCE

Dependency Debt

Thirty packages behind major versions. Peer dep warnings everywhere. A quarterly hygiene pass that nobody on your team wants to own permanently.

MIGRATION

A Specific Migration

Classes-to-hooks. Legacy bridge to JSI. New Architecture enablement. Discrete project, clear deliverable, wrong fit for a permanent hire who'd be maintaining it afterward.

When You Actually Should Hire

Not everything should be outsourced. Some full disclosure on when hiring a permanent React Native developer is the right answer.

ROADMAP

You Have A Multi-Year Roadmap

Ongoing feature development, a growing mobile product, continuous iteration. Hire. A fixed-price engagement is a sprint, not a marathon.

TEAM

You Want In-House Mobile Expertise

You want the knowledge to live with the company. You want someone on interview panels, in architecture decisions, and in retros. Hire.

CULTURE

You're Building A Mobile-First Org

Mobile is becoming your primary surface. That needs people on the inside with permanent loyalty to the codebase. Hire — and we can help you screen.

HYBRID

You're Doing Both

Common case. Hire a permanent mid-level developer for day-to-day, and bring us in for the upgrade / audit that unblocks them. See our consulting offering for hiring advisory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I hire a full-time React Native developer or use a fixed-price engagement?

If you have a multi-year roadmap and want ongoing feature development, hire full-time. If you have a defined piece of work (upgrade, security audit, dependency overhaul) that needs to ship in weeks — not months — a fixed-price engagement is faster and usually cheaper in total cost.

How long does hiring a senior React Native developer take?

Senior React Native engineers are scarce. A well-run hiring process takes 4–6 months from job posting to start date: sourcing, interviews, offer negotiation, notice period, onboarding. Total cost often exceeds $250k loaded in year one.

How much does a React Native developer cost?

A senior React Native developer in North America typically costs $160k–$220k base, $190k–$280k loaded. A contractor runs $150–$250/hr. A fixed-price engagement from us starts at $5,997 for ESSENTIAL scope and $9,997 for COMPLETE scope. Full cost comparison here.

Can I hire your engineers directly?

No. We're a team that sells engagements, not staff aug. You work with our engineers for the duration of the project and they return to the next engagement. If you want permanent headcount, we can help you interview and evaluate candidates — see our React Native consulting offering.

Where are your React Native developers based?

North America. We don't outsource. Every engineer on your project is based in the US or Canada and has shipped React Native since at least 2019.

What if I need a freelance React Native developer?

A freelancer is a single person billing hourly. We're a small team with senior engineers and fixed-price scopes. Depth of an agency, speed of a freelancer. If the scope is small and well-defined, a freelancer may be cheaper; if it's an upgrade or audit, we're usually faster.

Can you work under enterprise MSA/SOW?

Yes. NDA, MSA, SOW, SOC 2 vendor review, background-checked engineers, restricted-access git branches — we've worked inside enterprise security postures.

What about offshore React Native developers?

Offshore is cheaper on the hour. It's not cheaper in total when you factor timezone friction, supervision overhead, and quality variance on a production app. We compete on outcome cost, not hourly rate — see the full breakdown.

The work can't wait four months.

Fixed price. 2–4 weeks. Senior engineers. 14-day guarantee.
