Hire React Native Developers
Hire React Native Developers
Hire React Native developers from PS3G: engineers who share code between your React web app and iOS/Android apps, with Expo.
Hire React Native developers when your team already thinks in React and TypeScript and you want iOS and Android apps that share logic, components and people with the web product. PS3G’s React Native engineers have shipped apps with Expo and with the bare workflow, written native modules when a library fell short, and run over-the-air updates in production. They join your team as named individuals or as a dedicated team, for organizations of every size: a founder with a React web app adding mobile, a company whose React Native app has fallen behind on upgrades, or a department in a larger organization standardizing its mobile tools on the stack its web team knows.
Hire React Native developers who are managed, not just placed
The React Native engineers you hire through PS3G come from our React Native development practice. They are PS3G employees who have passed a screen by our senior mobile and front-end engineers, and they are supported by a technical lead and an account manager throughout. The reason to hire from an engineering firm rather than a staffing agency shows up on upgrade day: when a React Native version bump breaks three native dependencies, the engineer has colleagues who have been through it.
React Native sits between a web app and a back end, so our engineers work in monorepos that share code with React, call Node.js or ASP.NET Core APIs, and coordinate with the React developers on the same product.
What they can do for you
React Native developers for hire through PS3G are matched to this kind of work.
- Mobile apps for React teams. Customer and internal apps built with React Native and TypeScript, sharing validation, API clients, types and sometimes components with the web application.
- Expo projects. Managed and development builds with Expo, EAS for building and submitting, and over-the-air updates for fixes that should not wait for store review.
- Native modules. Writing or patching Swift and Kotlin modules for device features a library does not cover, and keeping them working across upgrades.
- Upgrades and rescue. Bringing an app from an old React Native version to the current one, adopting the new architecture, replacing abandoned libraries and fixing startup and list performance.
- Navigation, state and offline. A navigation structure that survives deep links and auth flows, state management that fits, and offline caching and sync for apps used in poor connectivity.
Seniority levels
A mid-level React Native developer builds screens and features from designs and an API contract, writes tests and follows the app’s navigation and state conventions. A senior developer sets the project structure and the Expo or bare decision, designs the sharing boundary with the web app, writes native modules, owns the upgrade plan and the release pipeline, and reviews the team’s work. A lead engineer owns the mobile architecture across apps, the monorepo and the relationship with your web, back-end and design teams.
How hiring works
- Brief. A first conversation on the app, the web application it relates to, the React Native and Expo setup if any, the device features needed, the back end, and the reporting line and hours you need.
- Vetted profiles in days. A short list of React Native engineers with the apps they have shipped, their Expo and native-module experience, upgrade history and availability.
- Interviews. Your team interviews each candidate. A session on a real screen with a list, a form and a navigation flow, plus a walkthrough of an upgrade they led, is the best test.
- Start. Access to repositories, store accounts, signing and the back end, a build on both platforms on day one, and first tickets that reach a test build within the first week.
- Scale monthly. Add a developer for a release push, reduce after launch, or convert an individual into a dedicated team with a PS3G lead, with notice.
Tell us about your web app and the mobile app you want and we will send matching profiles.
Vetting: a technical screen by our own engineers
Senior PS3G engineers screen every React Native developer on working code. The candidate reviews an app with planted problems (a long list rendered without virtualization, images loaded at full size, a navigation stack that leaks screens, state kept in the wrong place, a native dependency pinned to a version that will not build on current Xcode, an update shipped over the air that changed native code) and explains each. They are asked when they would choose Expo managed, Expo development builds or the bare workflow, how they would share code with a web app without sharing the wrong things, how they would write a native module for a device feature, and how they would plan a multi-version upgrade.
The pitfalls when you hire cross platform developers for React Native are specific. Many candidates are web React developers who have never opened Xcode or Android Studio, so the first native problem stops them. Some have only used Expo’s managed workflow and cannot leave it when a feature requires it. Others treat the mobile app as a web page, producing apps with web gestures, web navigation and web performance. Upgrades are widely avoided and then become a crisis. Our screen tests the native side and the judgment, not just the React.
Individual developers vs a dedicated team vs a fixed-scope project
You can hire Expo developers or React Native developers individually into your team, engage a dedicated team led by PS3G, or hand us a defined app to deliver as a project through our react native development company practice.
| Option | Who manages | Fits when | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual React Native developers | Your technical lead | You have a React team and a process, and need mobile-specific hands or upgrade experience | A senior React Native engineer joining your product team to lead a new-architecture upgrade |
| Dedicated React Native team | A PS3G lead, against your priorities | You own the product and the web app but want the mobile apps run as a stream of work | Two React Native developers, a QA engineer and a lead shipping both apps on a monthly cadence |
| Fixed-scope project | PS3G owns delivery | The features and designs are defined and you want a price for the whole app | A customer app sharing an API client and validation with your React web app, delivered to both stores |
Individual engineers and dedicated teams are monthly engagements under our staff augmentation terms; projects are quoted as a whole. Managed services cover releases, over-the-air updates and maintenance under a defined SLA, and an advisory engagement compares React Native with Flutter and native for your product before you commit. The route in is always a first conversation, a short assessment and a written proposal listing roles, seniority, location and monthly cost, not hourly rates.

Frequently asked questions
Should we use Expo or the bare React Native workflow?
Expo for most new apps: development builds and config plugins now cover most native needs, and EAS removes a lot of build and submission work. The bare workflow when you have unusual native requirements or an existing native app to embed into. Our senior engineers make this call in the first weeks and explain the trade-offs in writing.
How much code can a React Native app share with our React web app?
Types, API clients, validation, business logic and state usually share well. Screens and navigation rarely should, because the platforms behave differently. A senior engineer will draw the boundary early, typically in a monorepo with shared packages, so that sharing helps rather than couples the two apps together.
Can your React Native developers write native iOS and Android code?
Senior engineers can write and maintain Swift and Kotlin modules, and the screen checks it. When a feature needs substantial native work, we can pair the React Native developer with a native engineer from our mobile bench instead of working around the platform.
Can you upgrade an old React Native app to the current version?
Yes, and it is a common first assignment. The engineer inventories native dependencies, upgrades in steps rather than one jump, replaces libraries that are no longer maintained, adopts the new architecture when the dependencies allow, and keeps a test build working at each step. The proposal shows the sequence.
Where are your React Native developers located?
In the United States and at our India delivery center, managed from Wilmington, Delaware. Because React Native engineers usually coordinate closely with a web team, we schedule India-based engineers so their day overlaps yours and they join stand-ups and planning live. You decide the mix, priced per role in the proposal.
