Hire React Native developers for your team in the United Kingdom

Look for practical mobile experience alongside JavaScript skills. Common tools include React Navigation or Expo Router for navigation, and MMKV or SQLite for local storage.

• Build across platformsUse one codebase for iOS and Android while accounting for their different navigation, gestures, permissions and keyboard behaviour.
• Work with native featuresAdd Swift or Kotlin where the JavaScript layer does not cover a device API or a vendor SDK.
• Handle weak connectionsCache data, queue changes and show clear states so users understand what happens before their changes sync.
• Keep screens responsiveUse FlatList or FlashList for long lists, Reanimated for animations and profiling tools to investigate slow renders.
• Test the appUse Jest and React Native Testing Library, then run end-to-end checks with Detox or Maestro on real devices and emulators.

The developers we provide already work on our client projects; we do not find freelancers for your brief. You direct the priorities, and we include a lead who reviews code and keeps the work on track.

1. 01

   Compare

   Studio hiring usually moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and absence cover to the studio. Direct hiring gives you more control and takes longer to set up.

2. 02

   Prioritise

   We keep a shared backlog that you control and review the priorities with you regularly, so the developer has a clear order for the work.

3. 03

   Join the workflow

   Developers use your repository, tickets and stand-ups. Agree the overlap hours before work starts, so questions have an owner and a place to go.

4. 04

   Onboard

   Plan environment setup, a product and codebase walkthrough, and a small real task. Share the architecture, coding standards and release process, and record any gaps.

5. 05

   Set access

   Start with individual accounts and the least permissions needed in staging. Add production access once the review process is in place.

For a companion website using cookies solely for statistics or appearance preferences, we set up clear information and an easy way to object. Those uses can operate without consent under the stated conditions, so the cookie controls need to reflect what the site actually uses.

India is not on the UK adequacy list. If you use standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards for a personal-data transfer, your organisation must apply the relevant data protection test. For the work, we set up individual accounts and document access, so permissions can be audited and removed.

Prepare the work before hiring, so a developer does not spend time waiting for useful tasks.

• Rank the backlog, or write a first set of tasks with enough detail to begin real work.
• Identify the skills and seniority you need, including mobile experience or familiarity with a legacy system.
• Write down your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer developer questions.
• Agree what done meansreview rules, expected tests, and how changes are deployed and approved.
