Shimira ITHire Next.js developers
Next.js developers who've shipped production apps, not just tutorials.
Next.js has become the default framework for serious React applications, and that popularity created a talent problem. Thousands of developers list Next.js on their CV after one side project; far fewer have debugged hydration mismatches in production, tuned Core Web Vitals on a real traffic profile, or made the App Router vs. Pages Router migration call on a live product.
Our engineers build with Next.js daily. It's the frontend of our own production stack, which means when you hire Next.js developers from us, you get people who've already made, and paid for, the mistakes you're trying to avoid.
What they bring
Developers who've done it in production.
Full product builds
Marketing sites, SaaS dashboards, e-commerce frontends, and customer portals built on Next.js with TypeScript, server components, streaming, and edge rendering used where they actually help, not because they're new.
Performance rescue
Slow LCP, layout shift, bloated bundles, hydration errors. Next.js gives you the tools for a fast site; it doesn't guarantee one. We audit, fix, and leave you with budgets and monitoring so it stays fast.
Migrations
From Create React App, Gatsby, or plain React SPAs to Next.js, and from the Pages Router to the App Router, incrementally, without a rewrite freeze on your roadmap.
SEO-critical frontends
Server-side rendering, structured data, and metadata handled correctly, the reason content businesses and e-commerce choose Next.js in the first place.
Full-stack delivery
Because our developers are TypeScript engineers across the stack (Next.js frontends, Node.js backends, PostgreSQL), you can hire one team for the whole feature, not two teams and a handoff.
- Next.js
- React
- TypeScript
- App Router
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
Proof
Not a résumé, a running product.
A React and Next.js frontend serving real-time promotional screens across a mall group, fast, SEO-friendly, and running in production today.
What good looks like
What "senior Next.js developer" should actually mean
Use this to vet anyone, including us:
- App Router architecture: server vs. client components, when streaming and Suspense boundaries pay off.
- Rendering strategy per route: SSR, SSG, ISR, and client rendering chosen deliberately, with the trade-offs explained in plain language.
- Core Web Vitals: can name the current thresholds and show a before/after they achieved.
- Caching layers: Next.js data cache, route cache, CDN behavior, and how they interact (this is where most production bugs live).
- TypeScript fluency, not tolerance.
- Real deployment experience beyond one-click hosting: Docker, CI/CD, environment strategy.
If a candidate can't discuss the caching model, they haven't run Next.js in production.
Pricing
Engagement models & pricing.
| Model | Best for | Pricing (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Next.js developer (full-time) | Ongoing product work, 3+ months | $4,000 – $7,500/month (mid) · $7,000 – $12,000/month (senior) |
| Project-based team | A defined build with a deadline | Scoped fixed price, see typical project ranges |
| Hourly engagement | Audits, rescues, part-time needs | $25 – $45/hr (mid) · $40 – $75/hr (senior) |
These rates run 40–60% below equivalent US and Western European rates ($110–200+/hr for senior frontend engineers) for the same output, the regional arithmetic is broken down in our software development cost guide. Developers can typically start within 2 weeks; we structure working hours to overlap with US or European time zones.
Getting started
How hiring works
- 01
Requirements call (free)
Tell us what you're building and the skills mix you need.
- 02
Meet the developers
Interview the actual engineers who'd join you, CVs, code samples, and a technical conversation. No bait-and-switch staffing.
- 03
Trial sprint (2 weeks)
Work together on real tickets. If it's not a fit, you owe nothing beyond the sprint.
- 04
Scale as needed
Add or reduce capacity month to month; no long lock-ins.
Questions
What buyers ask before hiring.
From Shimira IT: $25–$45/hour for mid-level and $40–$75/hour for senior engineers, or $4,000–$12,000/month for a dedicated full-time developer. Comparable US-based talent runs $110–$200+/hour. Full regional comparison in our cost guide.
If your product is (or will be) built on Next.js, hire for Next.js specifically. The framework adds server-side concepts, rendering strategies, caching layers, server components, that general React experience doesn't cover, and those are exactly where production issues occur.
Yes, that's the most common setup. Our developers join your standups, your repo, and your tools (GitHub, Jira, Linear, Slack) as embedded team members.
Yes. Our engineers work across the full TypeScript stack, see hire Node.js developers, so one team can own a feature end to end.
Then a scoped project is usually better value than staffing, see our web app development services.
