Product React Native engineers
Shared UI with navigation, state, and tests treated as product work, not a Expo snack that leaked into production.

React Native developers who ship on both stores
A React Native hire is not a web engineer with a wrapper. iQud engineers ship shared UI, native modules, and store-ready release pipelines that survive offline paths, device APIs, and App Store / Play review, not a WebView dressed as an app.

The React Native seats we actually staff
“React Native” is not one job. We match on the product surface you need: the same stacks behind iQud’s live React Native, Mobile Apps, and iOS pages.
01 02 Native modules when the bridge is not enough
Camera, background work, payments, and hardware bridges owned in the repo, not a npm package nobody can debug.
03 Store-ready release seats
Certificates, builds, TestFlight / Play tracks, and review fixes as owned work, not a CI job that only runs on one laptop.
04 Offline and field workflows
Sync, queues, and degraded networks treated as product surfaces, not a “nice to have” after the happy path.
05 Performance that survives real devices
Lists, animations, and bundle size reviewed on mid-range phones, not a demo that only feels smooth on the engineer’s flagship.
06 When Flutter, native iOS, or a web seat is better
A Dart-first product surface, a deep Swift integration, or a marketing PWA still wants a different hire. We will say so on the intro call instead of forcing a React Native-only seat.
Tools they open on day one
Every tile is a live iQud technology or service page. The strip below is React Native with the device, store, and mobile data tools these engineers already ship, not Flutter, Ionic, or the full mobile catalog.
From intro call to a merged PR
A React Native hire should be shipping on a device in your repo, not sitting in a two-month onboarding theatre while certificates expire.
1 Map the React Native gap
Expo vs bare, iOS vs Android priority, native modules, seniority, overlap hours, and what “done in 30 days” looks like on both stores.
2 Shortlist real engineers
We match available React Native specialists to your brief and share relevant product-app, native-module, or release work.
3 You interview
Meet the human who will join standup. Validate how they talk through a bridge leak, a failed store build, and the last offline path they actually owned.
4 First sprint in your tools
Repo access, simulators, and a first pull request, typically inside a week once you say go.
Start with one seat. Grow if the backlog says so.
Most clients embed a single React Native engineer first. A pair or a platform split only when the work actually needs it.
One embedded engineer
A React Native specialist joins your squad, takes direction from your lead, and works in your rituals.
Best forClosing a cross-platform mobile gap without a new vendor process
Dedicated React Native seat
A stable owner for the shared app, the native modules, or the store pipeline, with senior review on the sprint.
Best forA product that needs a named React Native owner
Scoped React Native initiative
A defined slice: a new consumer app, a native-module cutover, or a store release path with contracts already in motion.
Best forA milestone you can point at, not an open-ended bench
React Native hiring rates, in writing
Two ways to staff a React Native engineer. Hourly for spikes and defined tickets. A dedicated monthly seat when you want someone in your standup every day, at a lower effective rate than running the clock.
Hire by the hour
$20/ hour
Flexible React Native capacity for feature spikes, reviews, and scoped tickets. You only pay for hours worked.
- Same React Native engineers as a monthly seat
- Best for overflow, a native-module fix, or a single release
- Start fast, pause when the spike is done
- Billed against actual hours, not a retainer
Best value
Hire for a month
$2,000/ month
A named React Native engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated mobile capacity, with senior review in the cadence.
A full-time month at $20 is $3,200. This seat is $2,000.
- Named engineer in your repo, simulators, and standup
- Shared UI and native-module work in the same engagement
- Month-to-month. No annual lock-in.
- Lower cost than the same hours billed at $20
Rates are for dedicated React Native engineers (shared UI, native modules, store releases). Seniority mix and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call. We will not quote a stack we do not already ship.
Why product teams staff React Native here
A mediocre React Native developer produces a demo that works on their simulator. These engineers produce an app that survives real devices, real stores, and your next quarter of releases.
Device product work, not “who can eject Expo”
They live in the bridge, list performance, and why last week’s crash came from a native module that should have owned its own retry path.
Your repo, your stores, your hours
GIFT City overlap with Europe and the US. Device reviews happen live when your leads are online.
Senior eyes on the sprint
Mid-level speed without unsupervised bridge debt. Review is part of the engagement, not an extra SKU.
Ten clients a quarter, on purpose
We do not run a revolving bench. Capacity is limited so the engineer you interview is the one in standup.
React Native hiring questions
Start with one. Most clients embed a single senior or mid-level React Native engineer, then add a pair if the product or store backlog justifies it.
All three when they are product work. An Expo seat is a managed workflow that still ships to both stores. A bare seat owns the native projects. A native-module seat bridges device APIs the JS layer cannot fake. We will only shortlist engineers on stacks we already ship.
That is a mobile hire, an iOS hire, or a React/Next.js hire, not this seat. Say so on the intro call and we will not force a React Native-only profile onto a mixed bench.
After we map the role and you approve the hire, first pull requests typically land within a week, faster when the repo, simulators, and store accounts are ready.
Yes. GitHub, Jira, your CI, your standups. We do not invent a parallel process unless you ask for one.
Hourly ($20) is for spikes and defined tickets. You pay only for hours worked. The monthly seat ($2,000) is a named React Native engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated capacity. The same month billed hourly would be $3,200. Seniority and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call.
Give the product a React Native engineer who can ship both stores
Tell us Expo vs bare, which native modules matter, and the first release you want on TestFlight or Play. We’ll come back with a named profile, a start window, and a two-week plan.
