React Native Development, Accelerated with AI

AI Assisted Component Review

AI helps our engineers spot wasted renders and state management leaks in component trees that cause jank on lower end devices.

Cross Platform Tests

AI drafts unit and end to end tests for iOS and Android behavior, and the engineer checks each test before it joins the suite.

Performance Profiling

AI helps engineers read profiling data on startup time, memory and frame timing, so the team can catch regressions before a release goes to store review.

Routine Code Drafting

Claude Code drafts routine TypeScript such as typed API clients, data models and screen scaffolding, and React Native Fast Refresh lets the engineer check each change in the running app.

The whole Unico Connect team uses Claude Code daily. Our engineering leads estimate that roughly 80 percent of our production code is AI generated. Engineers are expected to understand the code AI produces, and a tech lead or senior developer reviews it before it ships.

What Our React Native Developers Build

iOS & Android Apps

Cross-platform mobile applications sharing one TypeScript codebase, with platform-specific navigation, UI polish, and device APIs where they matter.

Real-Time & Booking Applications

Marketplaces, booking flows, and live tracking with WebSocket and Firebase integrations. Offline-first with sync on reconnection.

E-Commerce & Marketplace Apps

Product browsing, cart management, payments, and push notifications, with smooth animations and fast cold starts.

Native Module Integration

Camera, Bluetooth, biometrics, background services, and sensors bridged through native modules in Swift and Kotlin when a plugin does not exist.

Web Reuse with React

Teams already on React reuse patterns, tooling, and often code between the web app and the mobile app, one hiring profile across both.

App Rescue & Upgrades

Stabilize inherited React Native codebases, upgrade across framework versions, migrate to the New Architecture, and restore release velocity.

VETTING PIPELINE

How engineers earn a spot on our team

Our hiring process has three stages, from the application screen to a project deep dive with background verification, and every new engineer then serves a probation period.

4 checks
Application screen

We source engineers across India through LinkedIn, Wellfound, employee referrals and outbound headhunting. Every application is checked for stack relevance, years of experience, English and time zone overlap before it moves to a technical interview.

60 to 90 min
Live coding and scenario questions

A live coding round of 60 to 90 minutes in the primary technology of the candidate, followed by scenario based questions on practical applications of that technology.

3 checks
Project deep dive and background verification

Candidates walk us through a recent production project, covering the architecture decisions and what they would change in hindsight. A third party background verification agency then confirms prior employment, education and identity.

Probation
A probation period follows

New engineers then serve a probation period, and those who do not meet our bar do not continue with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rates run $25 to $50 an hour depending on seniority, and fixed scope projects have a $10,000 minimum. US specialists bill $150 to $300 per hour for comparable work. App store accounts and backend services are billed separately by their vendors, such as the Apple Developer Program membership, the Google Play developer registration fee and any Firebase usage above its free quotas. Your total also depends on how many screens and native modules the app needs.
