Freelance React Developer

About the role

Peregrine Remote is hiring a React developer on a fully remote basis. You will work on a production React codebase that paying customers open every day, not a greenfield prototype. The team cares about component boundaries that survive a year of feature work, state that is easy to reason about a month later, and pages that stay quick on hardware nobody would call new.

We hire anywhere and pay one global band in US dollars rather than discounting by country, because the work is the same wherever it is done. Contracts are arranged through a local employer of record where we cannot employ you directly.

What the work actually looks like

A typical fortnight mixes feature work with tightening interaction detail alongside design and paying down the parts of the component tree that have grown awkward. You will review pull requests, write the tests that keep the shared components honest, and profile a screen properly when the numbers say one has slowed down rather than guessing at it. The role is fully remote and we hire from anywhere the overlap window works.

What we look for

This is a mid-level role. You should already be able to take a loosely specified problem, break it down and ship it without close supervision. We are looking for real depth in JavaScript rather than a memorised set of framework recipes — someone who can explain why a component re-rendered and what they would do about it. Experience with a component testing library and a shared design system is a strong signal.

Working at Peregrine Remote

The team is asynchronous by default: decisions are written down, the meeting load is low, and we ask only for a four-hour overlap with Central European Time. This is a freelance engagement and the range shown is an HOURLY rate.
