### What does a React developer do?

- Build screens and components from Figma designs in React and TypeScript
- Connect the UI to your APIs, with loading, empty, and error states
- Maintain the component library or design system
- Improve page speed and Core Web Vitals
- Fix layout and browser bugs across desktop and mobile
- Write component and end-to-end tests for the flows that matter

### Skills we screen for

- React and TypeScript: A paid take-home: build one screen from a Figma file, typed, with a loading and an error state.
- State and data fetching: Ask how they would cache and refresh data on that screen, and why they picked that library or pattern.
- CSS and responsive layout: Check the take-home at three screen widths. Look for layout that holds without one-off fixes.
- Accessibility: Tab through their screen with the keyboard and run an accessibility checker. Ask them to fix what it finds.
- Performance: Give a slow page and ask what they would measure first and what they would change.

### Sample interview questions

- When do you reach for server components or server-side rendering in Next.js, and when not?

### Frequently asked questions

#### What is the difference between a React developer and a full-stack developer?

A React developer owns the front end: components, state, styling, and performance in the browser. A full-stack developer also writes the API and database changes. If your back end is stable and the backlog is mostly UI, a React developer fits.

#### Can a React developer work from our Figma designs?

Yes. Share the Figma file and your component library, and agree on how close to the design a screen must be before review.

#### Do your React developers know Next.js?

Many do, and we screen for it when you use it. Name your framework and version on the strategy call.

#### How much does a front-end React developer cost with Rekruuto?

A full-time React developer starts at $2,500 a month, with a 14-day start and a 1-week trial.

#### Will an offshore developer work my hours?

Yes. Our developers work in your time zone, so stand-ups, code review, and questions happen during your working day. The Philippines is on UTC+8 all year, so for a U.S. team that usually means a night shift in Manila.

#### Who owns the code an offshore developer writes?

Your business. Keep the repositories, cloud accounts, and app store accounts in your company's name and give the developer access to them. Our professionals sign NDAs.

#### How does the 1-week trial work?

You work together for a full week first. If you are not satisfied, we find a replacement or refund your money.
