Hire JavaScript developers

Add a JavaScript engineer to your team who works in your repository, your ticket queue and your review process. For teams with more work than people, and no appetite for a three-month hiring round.

What they do

Hire JavaScript developers, end to end.

Front-end application work

React, Vue or plain TypeScript work on your existing front end. New screens, state handling, form flows, accessibility fixes and the slow refactors nobody finds time for.

Node back-end and APIs

Node services, REST and GraphQL endpoints, background jobs and queue workers. Written to your existing conventions rather than a fresh set imported from somewhere else.

Full-stack feature delivery

An engineer who takes a feature from ticket to production across both sides of the stack, including the database change and the deployment, without a handover in the middle.

Integration and API plumbing

Payment providers, CRMs, auth providers, internal services. The work is mostly error handling, retries and edge cases, and that is where we spend the time.

Performance and bundle work

Profiling slow pages, cutting bundle size, fixing render loops and query patterns that got expensive as the data grew. Measured before and after, not guessed at.

Test coverage and build health

Unit and end-to-end tests, flaky test triage, CI that runs in a sensible time. Useful when a team can ship but has stopped trusting its own pipeline.

How it runs

Plan. Build. Run.

01

30 minute call

You describe the stack, the backlog and what is currently stuck. We say plainly whether this is work we take on and what we would need access to. No deck, no discovery invoice.

02

Fixed scope and price

We write down the scope, the timeline and the price before anyone starts. If the shape of the work is open-ended, we scope the first block only and price that, rather than pretending to know the rest.

03

Embedded build

Our engineer works in your repository, your branch conventions and your standups. Pull requests go through your review. You see progress in the tools you already use, daily.

04

Handover or stay on

At the end you either take the work back in-house with documentation and a walkthrough, or we move onto a run retainer and keep looking after it. Both are fine. You choose.

Why infoloop

We do not hand over and leave.

  • We build and we runMost agencies stop at handover. We offer a managed retainer after launch with monitoring, fixes to a response target, security updates and a monthly report, so nobody inherits an orphan.
  • Your process, not oursWe work in your repository, your board and your review standards. We do not ask you to adopt a parallel workflow so that our reporting looks tidy.
  • Fixed price before we startScope, timeline and price are agreed in writing up front. You are not signing an open hourly meter and hoping the original estimate holds once the work gets difficult.
  • Production is the finish lineWe count work as done when it is deployed, monitored and behaving under real traffic. Merged to main is a milestone, not a delivery, and we do not invoice it as one.
  • One engineer you actually knowYou work with the person writing the code, not an account manager relaying messages. Questions get answered by whoever holds the context.

What you get

Every engagement includes these, in writing, before work starts.

  • An engineer working in your repository, branch conventions and code review process
  • A written scope with the timeline and price agreed before any code is written
  • Pull requests sized for review, with tests where the code path warrants them
  • Documentation for anything a future maintainer would otherwise have to reverse-engineer
  • A deployment path we have used ourselves, not one we assume works
  • A handover walkthrough, or a run retainer if you would rather we kept it

Who this is for

Three situations where this is the right call.

The backlog is growing faster than the team

You have a roadmap your current engineers cannot reach, and hiring will take a quarter you do not have. You need capacity now, working the way your team already works.

A gap opened mid-project

Someone left, went on leave, or moved to another team, and a half-finished piece of work is sitting in a branch. You need someone who can read existing code rather than start again.

A one-off build with no long-term headcount

There is a defined piece of JavaScript work, an integration, a rebuild, a migration, that does not justify a permanent hire. You want it done properly and then either handed over or run for you.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

How does pricing work, and what does an engagement look like?
We start with a 30 minute call to understand the stack and the work. After that we write a fixed scope, timeline and price, and you see all three before anything begins. If the work is genuinely open-ended, we scope and price the first block rather than guessing at the whole. Engagements run one of two ways: a defined build with an end date, or an ongoing arrangement where an engineer is embedded with your team for a set period. Both are agreed in writing up front. There is no hourly meter running in the background and no discovery phase billed separately before you know what you are getting.
What happens after the work is launched?
You choose. One option is a clean handover: documentation, a walkthrough with your team, and the code left in a state someone else can pick up without archaeology. The other is our managed run retainer, where we keep looking after what we built. That covers monitoring, fixes with agreed response targets, security updates, small improvements and a monthly report on what happened. This is the part most agencies skip. We built the run side deliberately because software nobody is watching quietly degrades, and the people who wrote it are the fastest at fixing it.
Which parts of the JavaScript ecosystem do you work in?
React, Vue, TypeScript and Node on the server, plus the surrounding pieces: REST and GraphQL APIs, background jobs, build tooling, testing frameworks and CI pipelines. We also work in Webflow and Shopify environments where custom JavaScript sits on top of a platform, and with headless CMS setups including Webflow CMS and Strapi. If you are on something further from that centre, say so on the call and we will tell you honestly whether it is a good fit rather than take the work and learn on your budget.
Will the engineer work in our repository and follow our conventions?
Yes. That is the point of this arrangement rather than a black-box project. Our engineer works in your repository, uses your branch and commit conventions, opens pull requests that go through your review, and joins whatever standup or planning rhythm you already run. We do not ask you to adopt a separate process, a separate tracker or a separate reporting layer. Your team keeps its own standards and your reviewers keep the final say on what merges. If your conventions are undocumented, we will write down what we infer and check it with you early.
How quickly can someone start?
That depends on what we find on the call. A tightly defined piece of work in a healthy codebase can be scoped and started quickly. Work that needs access to production systems, security review on your side, or an architecture decision that has not been made yet will take longer to begin, and we would rather say so than promise a start date we cannot hold. On the call we will tell you what has to happen before day one, including anything we need from you, so the timeline in the written scope is one you can plan around.
What if the work turns out to be bigger than the original scope?
We tell you as soon as we know, not at the end. If something in the codebase turns out to be more tangled than it looked, or a requirement grows once real data hits it, we come back with what changed, what it means for the timeline and what it would cost to do properly. You then decide whether to extend, cut something else, or stop at the original line. What we do not do is quietly absorb the extra and deliver something rushed, or run past the agreed price and present the bill afterwards. The written scope stays the reference point for both sides.
