Testimonials
Trusted by teams that hire with us
-
LATAM has been a gold mine for talent. Our CloudTask hires understand our company culture and mission, and they connect with our customers in a way that drives high NPS and CX scores.
David Barrett CEO, Expensify -
At first we were an SF-based team only. Then I met Amir Reiter back in 2018. After visiting Medellín, I knew LATAM would be key to our growth and success.
Tim Zheng CEO, Apollo.io -
After meeting my CX and CS team in Medellín, we immediately loved the culture and the work ethic. As a European-HQ company, we found LATAM to be perfect to service our American clients.

SKILLS
Top skills to look for in a React Native developer
React experience gets someone started. These are the skills that decide whether one codebase really ships two healthy apps.
-
TypeScript and React done well
Typed components, hooks used with care and state that has one home, the same discipline a strong React developer brings to the web.
-
Native modules
Writes or fixes native code in Swift and Kotlin when a library does not cover what the app needs, instead of waiting for one.
-
Smooth lists and animations
Keeps long lists and gestures fluid, and knows what runs on the JavaScript thread versus the native side.
-
Platform differences respected
Adapts navigation, permissions, keyboards and safe areas to what iOS and Android users each expect.
-
Builds that work
Keeps Xcode, Gradle and dependency upgrades under control, so the build does not break every time a library moves.
-
Release discipline on two stores
Handles signing, store review and over-the-air updates, and knows what can ship over the air and what needs a new binary.
-
Tests on real flows
Component tests on behavior and end-to-end tests on sign in, checkout and the flows that cannot break.
-
AI output, reviewed
Uses coding assistants for boilerplate and first drafts, and checks generated code against the React Native version you run.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire React Native developers
React Native lets a React team ship to iOS and Android, as long as someone owns what happens below the JavaScript layer. This guide covers what a React Native developer does, how it compares with Flutter and native, what to test, the red flags and when React Native is the wrong choice.
What does a React Native developer do?
Builds and maintains your mobile app in React Native with TypeScript: screens, navigation, state, offline data and the connection to your backend, shipped to iOS and Android from one codebase.
The job also covers the native side: native modules, build configuration in Xcode and Gradle, push notifications, signing and releases on both stores.
React Native, Flutter or native: which do you need?
React Native fits teams that already work in React and TypeScript, because the component model and much of the tooling carry over, and some logic can be shared with the web app.
Flutter fits teams that want a consistent custom interface drawn by its own engine. Native iOS and Android fit apps where platform features and performance come first, at the cost of two codebases.
React on the web is not React Native
A strong React web developer still has to learn mobile navigation, gestures, offline behavior, app lifecycles and store releases. Many candidates list React Native after one side project.
Ask which apps they shipped to both stores, what native code they wrote or changed, and how they handled a React Native upgrade in an existing app.
Expo or the bare workflow
Expo speeds up setup, builds and updates, and covers most apps today. Apps with unusual native requirements sometimes need more control over the native projects.
Ask the candidate which one fits your app and why. A strong answer depends on your native needs, not on habit.
What to test in a React Native developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: a list screen that loads data, handles offline and error states and navigates to a detail screen. Read how they manage state and keep the list smooth.
Then ask about a bug that happened on one platform only. You want to hear that they can debug below the JavaScript layer.
Red flags in React Native developer candidates
Only tested on one platform. An app developed on an iPhone simulator alone will ship broken layouts and permissions to Android users, and the reverse.
Afraid of native code. If Swift, Kotlin, Xcode and Gradle are off limits, the first native issue blocks the team.
Upgrades avoided for years. A candidate who has never moved an app to a newer React Native version will leave yours stuck on old dependencies.
Web habits on mobile. Heavy renders in long lists and no thought for app lifecycle lead to slow screens and lost state.
Generated code they cannot explain. Ask them to walk through a screen an AI assistant wrote for them. If they cannot say why it renders what it does, nobody reviewed it.
When should you not choose React Native?
When the app depends on deep platform features or heavy graphics, native developers will move faster. When your team has no React experience at all, the main advantage of React Native disappears.
It is also the wrong hire when nobody on your side can set priorities or review the work. A single developer without a product owner tends to build what is interesting instead of what users need.
How much does it cost to hire a React Native developer?
It depends on seniority, the scope of the work and the country the person works from, and any single number describes one scenario and calls it a price.
What is worth understanding is the shape. On Managed Staffing it is one all-in monthly rate per person, with payments, compliance and replacement cover inside it. On Direct Hire it is a one-time fee of 20% to 30% of first-year base salary and the person goes on your payroll. We quote your number before you interview anyone.
Why hire a React Native developer in Latin America?
Overlap. Development runs on code review, standups and incidents, and Latin America and the Caribbean share most of the US working day, so those happen in real time instead of overnight.
The second reason is communication. Your developer writes pull request descriptions, technical notes and status updates in English, and we screen English live on a call.
How does CloudTask hire for this role?
You send the React Native version, Expo or bare workflow, the libraries you run, your backend and the kind of work and the hours you need covered. We source against that brief and come back with 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours, each one screened on a live call and checked against the stack you named.
You interview and choose. On Managed Staffing we handle payments, compliance and onboarding and stay involved with check-ins. On Direct Hire the person joins your payroll from day one. Both carry a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.
