React developers
React with TypeScript, state management, hooks and component libraries. The most requested frontend skill.
Roles · Software Development
Hire a remote frontend developer for React, Next.js, Angular or Vue
Interfaces that match the Figma file, load quickly and work with a keyboard and a screen reader. Your frontend developer also keeps the component library tidy as the product grows.
Interfaces that look like the design and feel fast
Users judge your product by its interface. Spacing that drifts from the design, layout shifts on mobile and forms that fail with a keyboard all cost trust. A frontend developer turns designs into accessible, fast components, builds accessibility in from the first commit, and keeps the design system consistent as more people contribute.
What they do for you
- Build pages and components from Figma, matching spacing, type and states
- Develop and document a component library or design system
- Make interfaces responsive across screen sizes and browsers
- Build to WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic HTML, keyboard support and screen-reader labels
- Improve load times and Core Web Vitals
- Connect the interface to your APIs, with loading, empty and error states handled
- Write component and end-to-end tests so the interface doesn't quietly break
- Work with your designers to settle edge cases before they become bugs

A good fit if:
- Your designs lose detail on the way to production
- Your interface is slow, inconsistent or hard to change
- You need a design system built, or brought back under control
Not the right fit if:
- You need one engineer to own features across frontend and backend; see Full-Stack Developer
- You need the designs themselves; see UI/UX Designer
- Your site is mainly content on WordPress or another CMS; see WordPress & CMS Developer
Questions for your frontend shortlist
01
"Build this component from the Figma file (sample). What questions do you have first?"
Strong answer: they ask about hover, focus, disabled, loading and error states, responsive behavior and reuse before writing code.
02
"How do you make a custom dropdown accessible?"
Strong answer: use a native element where possible. Otherwise they cover the correct ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, focus handling, and testing with a screen reader.
03
"The page feels slow on mid-range phones. What do you check?"
Strong answer: bundle size, render-blocking resources, image formats, layout shift and unnecessary re-renders, measured in the browser's performance tools.
04
"How would you stop a design system drifting as more teams use it?"
Strong answer: design tokens, documented components in Storybook, visual regression tests and a simple process for proposing changes.
Signs of a strong frontend developer:
- Asks about states and edge cases before building
- Tests with a keyboard as a habit
- Reuses components instead of copying them
- Flags design inconsistencies to the designer early
- Measures performance before and after a change
Signs of a weak frontend developer:
- Builds only the happy path shown in the mockup
- Uses a div with a click handler instead of a button
- Adds a new library for every small problem

Questions about hiring a frontend developer
Can they work with our designers in Figma?
Yes. Expect them to inspect designs directly in Figma, ask about missing states, and leave comments directly on the files.
Will they work during our business hours?
The brief sets the hours and the overlap with your team before the search starts, so every candidate is hired for them.
Do they build to accessibility standards?
Yes. WCAG 2.2 AA is the usual target. If you have a specific compliance requirement, tell us on the call and it goes into the brief.
What if it isn't working out?
Talk to your account lead. We go through it with you and agree a way forward.
Can they migrate us from an older framework?
Yes, for example AngularJS to Angular, Vue 2 to Vue 3, or a legacy site to React or Next.js. Migration experience is something we look for specifically when you need it.
Who owns the components they build?
You do. Components, styles and Storybook docs live in your repository from the first commit, and design tokens stay in your design files.
How do we see what our frontend developer is working on?
Their hours are tracked in the client app and reported there for you to see.
