Two paths for next.js developer work

Hire local in Denver, or engage us

Path A · Hire local

~$337K

Year-one outlay for one senior next.js developer

  • 60–90 day search through recruiters / inbound
  • Vesting equity, signing bonus, relocation if remote
  • One person, full-time, no flexibility on capacity
  • Probation period: 90 days of unknown output
  • If it doesn't work out: severance, recruiting cycle restarts

Path B · Engage Start Matter

From $6,000

Quoted after a 30-minute call

  • Senior engineer starts inside seven days
  • No equity, no signing bonus, no recruiting fee
  • Flexible capacity — scope up or down between phases
  • First deploy in two weeks — output you can ship to users
  • Hand off cleanly when you hire your full-time team

What we do

The work, concretely

What you'd hand to a salaried next.js developer — we own end to end on a flat-price engagement.

  • App Router architecture with server components and streaming
  • Type-safe API layer end to end — no runtime shape surprises
  • Performance budgets — Lighthouse 90+ on routes that matter
  • ISR, Cache Components, partial prerendering where they pay off
  • Preview deployments per branch, edge config, env separation

FAQ

About hiring vs engaging in Denver

How fast can you start?

+
Most engagements begin within seven days of the first call. There's no recruiter pipeline, no notice period, no relocation timeline.

App Router or Pages Router?

+
Default to App Router for new builds — Vercel and the framework are investing there. Pages Router migrations on request.

Is this a full-time replacement?

+
No — we're a senior engineer on a flat-price engagement. For most pre-seed and seed-stage products, that ships more than a salaried hire would in the same window. When you outgrow it, we hand off cleanly to the team you hire.

Can you work with our existing backend?

+
Yes — REST, GraphQL, gRPC, or a typed wrapper over whatever you've got. The frontend doesn't care about the protocol.

Who owns the code?

+
You do, from commit one. Repo in your GitHub, infra in your cloud account. When you do hire someone, they onboard onto your code, not ours.
