Founder-led · technically screened
React is easy to list on a CV and hard to do well. We screen React developers for the engineering fundamentals beneath the framework — state, performance and accessibility — not just component syntax.
React powers most modern web front-ends, usually with TypeScript and increasingly with server components and frameworks like Next.js. Strong React work is as much about state management, rendering performance and accessibility as it is about the library itself.
Every React developer is technically assessed by us, a former software developer, before you spend a minute interviewing.

FAQ
With a realistic build or a review of real UI code, scored against a rubric. We assess React fundamentals (state, hooks, performance), the underlying JavaScript/TypeScript, and accessibility — because framework familiarity alone does not predict good frontend work.
Most modern React roles use TypeScript, and many use Next.js or server components. We screen for the fundamentals that transfer across these, and match to the specific stack your role uses.
