Hire senior React Native developers

Developers who ship and maintain iOS and Android apps from one TypeScript codebase, and who know the parts that are not JavaScript: native modules, store review, over-the-air updates and devices with a bad connection.

What our React Native developers build

Consumer apps
Sign-up, payments, push notifications and deep links on both platforms, released through TestFlight and staged rollouts.
Companion apps for a SaaS product
A mobile client for your existing API that shares types and validation with your web front end.
Offline field apps
Apps for technicians, drivers or inspectors that keep working without signal and sync when the connection returns.
Upgrades of old apps
Apps several React Native versions behind brought up to date, including the move to the new architecture.

What a senior React Native developer should own

Most problems in mobile apps appear at the edges of JavaScript. These are the edges a senior developer handles.

Native integration
Config plugins and native modules for SDKs without a ready package, on both iOS and Android.
Releases and updates
Store builds, signing, review guidelines, and over-the-air updates used only for changes the store rules allow.
Offline data
Local storage, a queue of pending changes, and a clear rule for conflicts when two devices edit the same record.
Smooth screens
Long lists that do not drop frames, animations off the JavaScript thread, and start-up time measured on low-end Android devices.

Questions to ask a React Native developer

Mobile experience shows in release and device questions. Ask for real incidents.

  1. 01

    What can you ship over the air, and what needs a store release?

    JavaScript and assets can go over the air within store rules; any change to native code, permissions or SDKs needs a new store build.

  2. 02

    When does Expo stop being enough?

    Rarely today: config plugins and development builds cover most native needs. A strong answer names a real case, such as an SDK that needs deep native changes.

  3. 03

    Two users edit the same record offline. What happens?

    A defined rule: last write wins with timestamps, field-level merge, or a conflict shown to the user, chosen per data type.

  4. 04

    The app stutters when scrolling a feed. Where do you look?

    List virtualisation and item size, image decoding and caching, re-renders from parent state, and work on the JavaScript thread during scroll.

  5. 05

    How do you test the sign-up flow before every release?

    An automated end-to-end test on real or emulated devices in CI, plus a short manual check on one older Android phone.

Common questions

React Native or Flutter?

React Native fits teams that already use React and TypeScript and want to share code and people with the web. Flutter fits apps with very custom UI. We staff both.

Do you also build native apps in Swift or Kotlin?

Yes. Our mobile engineers work with SwiftUI and Kotlin when an app needs fully native code, and add native modules to React Native apps when needed.

Who handles the App Store and Google Play?

Our developers prepare builds, signing and store listings and manage review feedback. The apps are published under your own developer accounts.

Is there a trial?

Yes. New engagements start with a two-week trial: if you are not satisfied, you do not pay for those two weeks.
