What our SaaS startups customers are saying

Having a developer who can get started on work at the drop of a hat and a CTO who can oversee and QA all work is an unbeatable deal.

It's a certain level of professionalism and quality that you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

How to Hire a React Devloper for your SaaS startup

What type of React developer do I really need for a SaaS product?

Match the developer to your company type and team structure. SaaS startups need developers who ship fast, while industries like banking or finance companies prioritize developers who work slowly but carefully.

Big teams need developers who can manage stakeholders and handle meetings, and small teams need developers who excel at solo coding.

What should I include in my 30/60/90-day plan?

Define what success looks like:
  • 7 days: Onboarded and running, improved onboarding docs/process.
  • 14-90 days: Started owning and building meaningful features
  • After 90 days: Very familiar with the code base. Should be almost equal to an engineer who’s been on the project for 2 years, handling edge cases confidently

How do I decide between a generalist and a specialist?

Generalist: Ideal if you're an early stage SaaS startup. They’ll pick up React, backend, infra as needed.

Specialist: Better for later-stage companies where they need speed + expertise to polish the product.

What’s the right balance between technical skill and product sense?

If you’re an early stage SaaS startup you need developers who can work from rough ideas without very detailed briefs. They can make product decisions as they code and figure things out on the fly.

Later stage companies need “team player developers” who can work with product managers, designers, and other developers across multiple teams. Their focus is more on executing within a structured process.

How fast should my hiring process be?

If you’re targeting quality React devs for your SaaS startup, aim for under three weeks from first contact to offer. Longer than that, and you risk losing top candidates.

ReactSquad matches you with a pre-vetted senior React specialist within 48 hours and shipping code in under a week!

What’s my plan if my first hire doesn’t work out?

Set a clear initial 2-4 week trial period with:
- Clear outcomes (e.g., build + ship MVP UI for feature X)
- A written mid-point check-in
- An easy off-ramp if it’s not working (communicated up front)

You can minimize this risk by hiring from ReactSquad. We provide dedicated React specialists to your tech team. And just in case it doesn’t work out, you can fall on our replacement guarantee.

What is React?

React.js is a JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces. It lets developers create reusable components, making apps faster to build, easier to maintain, and more responsive—without needing to reload the whole page each time something changes.

Technical Proficiency and Soft Skills

  • Strong understanding of core JavaScript and React fundamentals (JSX, components, state, props, lifecycle methods)
  • Experience with key tools in the React ecosystem (Redux, React Router, UI libraries)
  • Ability to build reusable, modular, and maintainable components
  • Proficiency in working with APIs and handling async data
  • Clean coding practices and version control with Git
  • Problem-solving and critical thinking in debugging and development
  • Effective communication and teamwork in cross-functional environments

Finding React Developers

You can find dedicated React teams on vetted talent platforms which focus on experienced developers. Clutch and GoodFirms list React development agencies with client reviews. GitHub, Stack Overflow, and LinkedIn can also help identify active React teams. Consider hiring remotely to expand your access to skilled global teams.

OR save yourself the time and hire directly from us. You can get expert part-time devs within hours.

The Cost of Hiring React Developers

Part-time React developers typically charge $70 to $160 per hour, depending on experience and location. In the US, average React developer salaries range around $120,000 annually, with variations across different states. Junior developers may start around $50/hour, while senior talent in the U.S. or Western Europe can command $100/hour or more. 

ReactSquad offers startup-friendly rates at $75 per hour.

Next Steps

As you progress in your hiring process, consider the benefits of integrating a team like ReactSquad into your development projects. Our developers offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in React development. Our approach also ensures seamless integration with your project goals, resulting in developers shipping code for you within a week. In a nutshell, partnering with ReactSquad streamlines your hiring process and helps you build successful React projects.
