Screens people use
Forms, lists, and the empty, loading, and error states. The happy picture in the mock is only one of them.
Hire React developers
Hire remote React developers from around the world
Hire a React developer who has shipped screens people use, not only a demo. Arca.ph cuts out the staffing-agency middleman. It is a private, invite-only network of engineers from around the world. Profiles are free to view. Your own AI agent, such as Grok, Claude, or ChatGPT, searches and sorts the network and builds a shortlist.

The role
What React developers work on
A React developer owns what a person sees and clicks. That includes the states a mock often skips, and the pieces other engineers can use again.
Pieces other people reuse
Buttons, fields, and cards another engineer can use again, without copying the file in the second week.
Data on the screen
What the page shows while a request loads, when it fails, and when the person tries again.
Keyboard and names
A person can move through the screen with a keyboard. Buttons and fields have names a screen reader can say.
Speed a person can feel
How often the screen redraws, and how much code the page has to download, on the devices your users have.
Hours that overlap design
Every profile shows the hours they can work and the US time overlap, so a broken release can be fixed while the team is online.
Is it the right hire?
When a React developer is the right hire
- The product screens are React, and each new one invents its own buttons and fields.
- Design is waiting on someone who can build the real states, not a picture of them.
- A page feels slow in the browser, and nobody owns that work.
- The API has an owner, and the queue is the screen people use.
Pair this hire with frontend developers or full-stack developers.
Stacks
Skills you can filter on
These are skills developers list in their work history. You can compare them side by side.
- React

What to look for
Skills to check on a React profile
Look for:
- Production React. TypeScript too, when that is what the app uses.
- A component other people reused, and a state they forgot the first time.
- A page they made faster, and how they knew it was slow.
- Keyboard and name checks they actually run.
- A time they told design that a mock would not survive real text, and what shipped instead.
You ask for an introduction, then you decide.

How hiring works
Three steps to a React developer
Create an account
Sign up with your work email. We check that you're a real company, which keeps developers' details safe. Every profile shows pay, US time overlap, English and test scores, whether the developer is open to time tracking, and what makes that person different. Profiles are free to view.
Sign upLook, and ask for proof
Browse profiles, or use your own AI agent, such as Grok, Claude, or ChatGPT, to search and sort them and build a shortlist. For React, ask for a coding test with no AI allowed on a component, a 2-hour build project with AI allowed, or the Fire Drill (live pair-programming on a real-world problem), such as a form that keeps an old error after the person fixes the field. Arca.ph returns the scores.
TestsGet introduced, then hire
Tell us who you want to meet. We reach out. If they say yes, that's an introduction. On the marketplace, if you hire them, you pay one fee: 15% of first-year pay, once. There is a free replacement for 3 months. If Arca.ph introduces you to a developer you were already talking with, there is no fee.
If you hireInterviewing
Questions to ask a React developer
Use these alongside your own technical interview. You make the hiring decision.
More questions are on React interview questions.
Show me a React component other people reused. Where did that go wrong?
Listen for a prop they would change, and a state they forgot.
What belongs in a click handler, and what belongs in an effect?
Listen for the click staying in the handler, and a timer or a subscription in the effect, with a cleanup.
Tell me about a screen that got slower.
Listen for how they noticed, what they measured, and what they removed.
How do you check a form with a keyboard?
Listen for the keys they press and the names a screen reader would hear.

How much does a remote React developer from around the world cost?
Pay is quoted per month, up to about $3,000 a month. On the marketplace, profiles are free to view. You can ask for proctored tests and recorded reference checks. If you hire someone Arca.ph introduced, you pay 15% of first-year pay, once. Published pay from named sources is on the developer rates page.
How quickly can I hire a React developer?
You can look at profiles right away. Profiles are free to view. When you want to meet someone, we make the introduction.
How do proctored tests help with a React hire?
A coding test can ask for a component change. The Fire Drill can be a form that keeps an old error. When you want more proof, Arca.ph runs extra proctored tests and returns the scores. You can ask for a coding test with no AI allowed, a 2-hour build project with AI allowed, the Fire Drill (live pair-programming on a real-world problem), an English test, a thinking-skills test, and a typing test, plus recorded reference checks. A real person watches.
Are these people who only build marketing sites?
Read the work history. These pages are for product screens: application UI, a design system, or both.
How do I see which hours they can work?
Every profile shows the hours a developer can work and the US time overlap, so you can pick someone whose day overlaps with yours.
Where are they based?
Around the world. Every profile shows where the developer lives and the hours they can work.
What if we were already talking with this developer?
If Arca.ph introduces you to a developer you were already talking with, there is no fee.
What if they are not a fit?
If you hire someone Arca.ph introduced and they are not the right fit, there is a free replacement within 3 months.
If you need help, Done-for-you is 35% of first-year pay, charged once on hire. Arca.ph runs the search and sends a shortlist. You hire and pay the talent directly. There is a 3-month free replacement.
