Placing Shopify + AI developers, see open talent

Frontend

Hire React developers who build the way modern React actually wants to be built.

Component architecture, state management, and the server/client boundary in modern React, by engineers who've kept up as the ecosystem moved past class components and client-only rendering. This site itself runs on React and Next.js, so it's a stack we hold ourselves to the same standard on.

Rendering strategy

Server components, streaming, and client boundaries chosen with intent.

Why hire through Code Elevator
Current on the server/client boundary. We screen for engineers who understand what runs on the server versus the client in a modern React app, not developers still defaulting to client components out of habit.
Re-render literate. Every candidate can profile and explain an unnecessary re-render, not just reach for memoization everywhere as a reflex fix.
Accessible by default. Semantic markup, keyboard navigation, and focus management built in from the first component, not patched in during a later audit.
Typical rate

from $22/hr

A typical range. Your final rate depends on experience level, timezone overlap and how long you book for.

Questions

Answered before you ask.

Both. Most production React work today runs inside a framework like Next.js or Remix rather than a bare client-side app, so we screen for that framework literacy alongside core React skill.

Real component and state-management exercises, plus a review of prior work for render-performance awareness and correct use of hooks, not a quiz on trivia that a framework's own docs would answer.

Yes. Most engagements involve some coexistence between old class components and new function components with hooks, migrated incrementally rather than all at once.

Profiling real re-renders and bundle size with the React DevTools and Lighthouse, then fixing the specific bottleneck found, not applying memoization everywhere as a blanket first move.

What you're not risking

Every way out of this hire is already written down.

Two-week replacement

Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.

No lock-in

Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.

Rate agreed up front

You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
