Next.js Development, Accelerated with AI
AI-Optimized Rendering Strategy
AI analyzes your page types and traffic patterns to recommend the right rendering approach (SSR, SSG, ISR) for each route, maximizing both performance and SEO.
Automated SEO Auditing
AI scans every page for meta tags, structured data, heading hierarchy, image optimization, and Core Web Vitals compliance before deployment.
Performance Regression Detection
AI monitors build output, bundle sizes, and Lighthouse scores across deployments, flagging regressions before they affect search rankings or user experience.
Faster API Route Development
AI-accelerated development of Next.js API routes, middleware, and server actions means your full-stack features ship with fewer iterations.
What Our Next.js Developers Build
Server-Rendered Web Applications
SEO-critical applications with server-side rendering. Product pages, content platforms, and marketing sites that need fast first-paint and search visibility.
Full-Stack Next.js Applications
End-to-end applications using API routes, server actions, and middleware. Authentication, database operations, and business logic in a single Next.js project.
Static Site Generation
Content-heavy sites with thousands of pages generated at build time. Blogs, documentation sites, and product catalogs with incremental static regeneration.
Edge-Deployed Applications
Applications deployed to Vercel's edge network or similar CDN infrastructure for sub-100ms response times globally.
E-Commerce with Next.js
Headless commerce frontends powered by Shopify, Medusa, or custom backends. Fast product pages with dynamic pricing and real-time inventory.
Migration to Next.js
Migrate existing React SPAs or legacy frontends to Next.js for improved SEO, performance, and developer experience without rewriting business logic.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.
5%
Pass live coding + system design
Two-stage technical interview: a 90-minute live coding exercise tailored to the candidate's primary stack, then a system-design discussion grounded in real production scenarios.
2%
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
1.2%
Complete 2-week shadow onboarding
A senior Unico Connect engineer shadows new hires for two weeks on an internal project. We watch how they respond to feedback, ask for help, and ship code. Fast learners stay.
