Considering React Native outsourcing? Instead of handing your app to an agency, hire a dedicated React Native developer who joins your team, works your hours and owns your app long term. Rad Hires recruits senior React Native engineers across Latin America for US startups. Most clients hire in 2–4 weeks for 40–60% less than a comparable US developer.
React Native outsourcing vs. a dedicated developer
- An outsourcing agency builds your app as a project. That can suit a fixed-scope launch, but you pay agency rates and lose momentum when the contract ends.
- A dedicated React Native developer works only on your product, ships updates continuously and keeps the know-how inside your team.
- Rad Hires helps you with the second option. We recruit the developer, and they work directly with you, either as your direct hire or through our managed Talent On-Demand service, where we contract and pay them for you.
Why hire React Native developers from Latin America?
- Your time zone. Latin American developers are 0–2 hours from US Eastern time, so releases, bug fixes and app store reviews are handled during your day.
- Senior mobile talent at 40–60% less. You can afford a developer who has shipped and maintained real apps.
- One team for web and mobile. React Native developers usually know React too, so they can share code and patterns with your web app.
React Native roles you can hire
- Senior React Native developers who ship to the App Store and Google Play.
- Mobile leads who own architecture, release process and code quality.
- Full-stack developers who pair React Native with Node.js or your existing APIs.
- Developers modernizing older apps, including upgrades to the New Architecture and Expo.
How hiring with Rad Hires works
- Kickoff call. We learn the React Native role, your stack, your team and your budget, and agree on what a great hire looks like.

What does a Latin American React Native developer cost?
Cost depends mostly on seniority and the exact skills you need. Our clients typically pay 40–60% less than for a comparable US hire. Two real examples:
- A US startup hired a senior engineer in Argentina for $8.7k a month, about half the cost of a US equivalent, working full time in the client’s time zone.
- A US digital agency staffed several senior roles for about $40 an hour on average.
On a short consultation call, we’ll give you a realistic budget for your React Native developer role.
What to look for in a React Native developer
- Strong React and TypeScript: hooks, component design and typed APIs.
- Native know-how: native modules, permissions, push notifications, deep links and platform differences.
- Performance: smooth lists and animations, fast startup and avoiding unnecessary re-renders.
- Tooling: Expo or bare React Native, plus over-the-air updates and crash reporting.
- Release experience: CI/CD for mobile and App Store and Google Play submissions.
- Testing and communication: Jest and end-to-end tests, plus clear English for async work.
Interview questions to ask a React Native developer
- When would you choose Expo, and when would you go with bare React Native?
- How do you find and fix a slow, janky list screen?
- Walk me through writing or integrating a native module.
- How do you handle app updates without forcing users to download a new version?
- Tell me about an app you shipped to both stores. What went wrong, and how did you fix it?
