Hire talent · Front end

Hire Next.js developers who ship apps search engines can read.

Add a senior Next.js engineer to your team for rendering strategy, routing, data fetching and the indexing work most JavaScript apps skip. They build in your repo, to your review process, and stay on to run what ships.

What they do

Hire Next.js developers who ship apps search engines can read, end to end.

Rendering decided per route

Static, server-rendered, incremental or client-side, decided per route rather than for the whole app. We write down why each page renders the way it does, so the next engineer does not quietly undo it.

App Router and route architecture

Layouts, route groups, dynamic segments and loading states laid out so the URL structure matches how people and crawlers actually move through the product.

Data fetching and caching

Server components, fetch caching and revalidation set deliberately, so pages are fresh where freshness matters and cached where it does not. Stale data and needless origin hits both cost you something.

Technical SEO built into the build

Titles, descriptions, canonicals, Open Graph tags, sitemaps and structured data generated from the same data the page renders, so they cannot drift apart. If it is not in the HTML, assume it is not indexed.

Core Web Vitals and page weight

Image handling, font loading, bundle splitting and third-party scripts kept under control, then measured on real devices and real connections rather than on a local build.

Headless CMS and commerce front ends

Next.js front ends on Strapi, Webflow CMS or Shopify, with preview, draft states and a publishing flow your marketing team can run without opening a ticket with engineering.

How it runs

Plan. Build. Run.

01

A 30 minute call

We go through the app, the stack around it and what the engineer would own in the first month. You leave with a scope, a timeline and a price rather than a proposal deck.

02

Match, then meet the engineer

We put forward the person we would actually put on the work, with what they have built. You meet them before anything is signed, and you can say no without it costing you anything.

03

Ramp into your repo and sprint

They join your repository, tracker and review process, take a small scoped ticket first, and agree with your team how rendering, caching and indexing decisions get made and written down.

04

Ship it, then run it

Work ships behind your existing release gates. Once it is live you can keep the engineer on the roadmap, or move to our managed retainer so somebody is still watching the app after launch.

Why infoloop

We do not hand over and leave.

  • We stay after the handoverMost shops hand over and leave. We offer a managed retainer instead: monitoring, fixes to agreed response targets, security updates, improvements and a monthly report.
  • SEO treated as engineering, not a pluginWhether a page can be indexed is decided by rendering, routing and status codes. The engineer owns that, rather than leaving marketing to patch it after launch.
  • Production habits, not demo habitsGuardrails, monitoring and a rollback path come with the work. It is the same discipline we use putting AI agents into production, applied to a web application.
  • Your codebase, your review processWe work in your repo, your branching model and your standards, and document as we go. Nothing about the result depends on us being available next quarter.
  • A fixed scope before anyone startsYou agree scope, timeline and price up front. No open-ended hourly drift, and no discovery phase that quietly turns into the project itself.

What you get

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

  • A rendering and caching decision, written down for each route type
  • Metadata, canonical tags, sitemap and robots rules generated from your content
  • Structured data for the page types that warrant it, validated before release
  • A Core Web Vitals baseline, then the same measurement after every release
  • Build, environment and deploy configuration handed over with the repository
  • A handover note your own engineers can pick the work up from

Who this is for

Three situations where this is the right call.

Your React app ranks for nothing

A client-rendered single page app that search engines barely index and that shares badly on social. Moving the pages that matter to server rendering, with real metadata and correct status codes, is usually where the fix starts.

A marketing site outgrowing its builder

The site started on a page builder and now needs authentication, personalisation or a product surface the builder cannot express, but you do not want to throw away the editing workflow your marketing team depends on.

You are one engineer short on a live build

There is a Next.js app in production, a roadmap already agreed and nobody free to do the routing, caching or performance work. You need senior hands inside your sprint, not a separate agency project running alongside it.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

What does it cost to hire a Next.js developer through infoloop?
We do not publish a rate, because the number depends on seniority and on how much of the work the engineer owns. What we do commit to is the shape of it. A 30 minute call, then a fixed scope, timeline and price agreed before anyone starts. Dedicated engineers are priced monthly per person. A defined piece of work is priced as a fixed build, with an optional managed retainer to run it afterwards. You leave the first call with a number, not a range that moves later.
Does Next.js actually help SEO, or is that overstated?
It solves one specific problem: getting content into the HTML a crawler receives. A client-rendered app asks the crawler to run JavaScript before it sees anything, and server rendering or static generation removes that step. That fixes indexability, and it fixes social previews. It does not create demand, earn links or make thin content rank. We treat rendering, routing, status codes and metadata as the engineering floor. After that, the content has to do its own job.
Can the engineer work in our existing codebase and process?
Yes, that is the normal arrangement. They join your repository, your branching model, your tracker and your code review process, and ship behind whatever release gates you already have. We start with a small scoped ticket so the ramp is visible rather than assumed. Everything is documented as it goes: rendering choices, caching rules and any SEO logic live in the repo, not in one person's head. If you later move the work in house, your team can pick it up without us.
What happens after launch?
You choose. Keep the engineer on the roadmap, take the work fully in house using the handover note, or move to our managed retainer. The retainer covers monitoring, fixes with agreed response targets, security updates, small improvements and a monthly report on what changed and what it did. Most Next.js problems appear after launch rather than before: a caching rule that serves stale prices, a route that returns 200 for a page that should be gone. Somebody should be watching for that.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Everything the engineer writes is yours, in your repository, under your licence, from the first commit. There is no proprietary framework wrapper, no hosting you can only get through us, and no part of the build held back as leverage. Configuration, environment variables and deployment steps are handed over with the code. If the engagement ends, nothing about your application depends on us continuing to exist.
App Router or Pages Router — which should we be on?
If you are starting fresh, App Router, because that is where server components, streaming and the current caching model live. If you already have a working Pages Router app, a rewrite is rarely the right first move. We usually keep it, fix the rendering and indexing problems where they actually are, and migrate route by route only where there is a reason to. A migration that takes a quarter and changes nothing a user or a crawler notices is not an improvement.
