1. A Deep Pool of Frontend Talent

Brazil has one of the largest software engineering workforces in Latin America, with over 500,000 developers. React.js consistently ranks as one of the top technologies in Brazil’s bootcamps, coding schools, and university programs, meaning you’ll find strong talent across experience levels.

2. Cost-Effective Without Compromising Quality

According to Revelo’s 2025 Brazil Hiring Guide, hiring React developers in Brazil can reduce costs by 40–60% compared to U.S. salaries. With competitive rates and strong technical training, Brazilian engineers offer excellent value.

3. Time Zone Alignment with the U.S.

Brazilian working hours (GMT-3) closely match those of U.S. East Coast and Midwest companies. Real-time communication and agile team coordination are easy—no late-night or early-morning meetings required.

‍

4. Remote-Ready and Culturally Compatible

More than 80% of Brazilian developers work remotely. Most are fluent in English, well-versed in global tooling (Slack, Jira, Figma, GitHub), and experienced in async workflows.

Best Practices for Hiring React Developers in Brazil

‍

1. Be Clear About Scope and Stack

React developers can range from junior UI builders to senior engineers with Next.js, TypeScript, and full-stack experience. Specify whether you need frontend only, or someone who can own full features from backend to deployment.

2. Partner With a Trusted Platform

Working with a partner like Revelo streamlines sourcing, vetting, legal compliance, and payroll—without the need to establish a local entity in Brazil.

3. Evaluate Code Quality and Product Thinking

Beyond technical proficiency, great React developers excel at thinking in components, writing accessible UI, and collaborating with design and product. Test for these during interviews.

4. Move Fast—Good Candidates Get Scooped Quickly

Brazil’s tech talent is in demand. Streamline your interview process with a clear timeline, defined assessments, and fast decision-making.

‍

Legal Compliance & Payroll in Brazil

Hiring directly in Brazil requires managing taxes, benefits, and compliance with local labor laws. U.S. companies typically hire via:

Independent contractor agreements (risky and harder to scale)
Employer of Record (EOR) via Revelo, which handles:
- Contracts in English & Portuguese
- BRL payroll and benefits
- Local tax withholdings
- Full legal compliance

Sample React Interview Questions

Hiring this right specific developer is about asking the right questions. Here are some sample questions to help guide your interview process:

1. What are the main differences between functional and class components in React?

Functional components are simpler and rely on Hooks for state and lifecycle. Class components use this and traditional lifecycle methods like componentDidMount(). Functional components are now the standard in modern React development.

2. How does the Virtual DOM work in React?

React uses a virtual DOM to keep a lightweight representation of the real DOM in memory. When state changes, React calculates the difference (diffing) and applies the minimal set of changes to the actual DOM, improving performance.

3. How would you handle state management in a large-scale React application?

For complex apps, I use Context for global state and tools like Redux or Zustand for more scalable solutions. I also use React Query or SWR for server state and caching.

4. What’s your approach to testing React components?

I use Jest with React Testing Library to test user-facing behavior. I aim for a balance between unit and integration tests, avoiding over-testing implementation details.

5. How do you ensure a responsive and accessible React UI?

I follow WCAG guidelines, use semantic HTML, test with screen readers, and ensure keyboard navigation. For responsiveness, I use CSS frameworks like Tailwind or media queries with styled-components.
