React Developers in Singapore
We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in Singapore. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in SGD.
Working hours
Our day runs 09:00 to 18:00 India time, which is 11:30 to 20:30 in Singapore, so from late morning onwards we are on the same working day, and anything you raise first thing is picked up by 11:30.
Quoted in SGD
Quotes exclude the 9% GST in Singapore, shown separately on the invoice.
Data protection
Work for this market is scoped against the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.
Written scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed SGD quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.
About React Developers
Hire senior React and Next.js engineers who have been shipping production front-ends since 2021. Bring on one dedicated developer or a small product team for SaaS dashboards, customer portals, and component-driven web apps, on a monthly rolling contract or a fixed scope. You direct the roadmap and talk to the engineer writing your code, never an account manager.
What the engagement includes
- Senior engineers only, never interns, and one named owner you talk to directly for the whole engagement.
- TypeScript by default, with the component structure, state management, and data-fetching approach chosen deliberately rather than copied from whatever tutorial was open.
- Tests where they earn their keep: component and integration tests with React Testing Library on Vitest or Jest, running through CI on every pull request.
- Accessibility and performance built in, not bolted on: keyboard and screen-reader support, lazy-loaded routes, a controlled bundle size, and Core Web Vitals that hold up on real mid-range phones.
- You own the GitHub repo, the hosting, and the pipeline from day one, so there is a clean handover or exit whenever you want it.
- Flat INR with GST for Indian clients, USD, CAD, GBP, or AED via Wise for overseas teams, a 24-hour response, and full IP transfer on payment.
How we work with Singapore clients
Singapore is the one market we serve where the working day is simply shared. We are two and a half hours behind you and neither country moves its clocks, so our morning starts partway through yours and the whole of your afternoon is live time for both sides. That changes the shape of an engagement more than anything technical does: a call is booked for the same afternoon rather than the same week, a question raised before your lunch is answered after it, and the written-first method we run for North American clients is a courtesy here rather than a necessity. We keep the written record anyway, with a default chosen on every open decision, because it is the thing an auditor or a new hire can read later and a call is not.
Invoicing is worth stating plainly because the GST position confuses buyers on both sides. We are outside Singapore, so no GST appears on our invoice. Whether you account for it yourself is the reverse charge question, and IRAS's own guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not affected, while a partially exempt one accounts for it in its own return. We quote in Singapore dollars, the figure holds for the project whatever the rupee does, and payment by bank transfer or Wise avoids the card fees a five-figure invoice does not need. The contract can sit under Singapore law with Singapore courts, and unusually among our overseas markets that clause has teeth: Singapore is a reciprocating territory under section 44A of India's Civil Procedure Code, so a judgment of the Singapore High Court can be executed in India directly rather than re-litigated.

How does GST work if you are based in India?
No GST is charged on our invoice, and the invoice says so. Whether you account for it under reverse charge depends on your input tax position: IRAS's guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not impacted, a partially exempt business or one with non-business receipts accounts for GST on imported services in its own return, and a business that is not registered should ask its accountant, because an exempt business importing more than S$1 million of services in a year can be required to register. We would rather your accountant confirmed your position before the first invoice than reconciled it at year end.
Are you compliant with the PDPA?
We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. The consent, purpose limitation and notification obligations shape the forms and the data model; retention limitation means records are deleted on a schedule rather than kept indefinitely; access and correction requests are features with a queue behind them rather than a manual database job. Processing happens in India, so the transfer limitation obligation applies, and the processor agreement we sign sets out the comparable standard of protection the Act asks for. The obligation to design for early is breach notification: an organisation has three calendar days from determining a breach is notifiable, which means one likely to cause significant harm or one affecting 500 or more people, to tell the PDPC, and answering what was in the breach is only possible if the logging existed beforehand. Appointing a Data Protection Officer is your obligation rather than ours, and we will say so if a design choice would make that person's job harder.
Can we use a PSG or EDG grant to pay for this?
Not PSG. The Productivity Solutions Grant funds pre-scoped packages from pre-approved vendors for Singapore-registered companies, and a custom build from an overseas team is not that shape, so we will not pretend it is. The Enterprise Development Grant is assessed project by project against its own criteria, and whether a build like yours qualifies is a question for Enterprise Singapore or your grant consultant to answer before the scope is written rather than after a budget has assumed it.
We are regulated by MAS. Can you meet the outsourcing requirements?
We can supply what a due-diligence pack asks for, accept audit and access rights in the contract, and name every sub-processor that touches your data. What we will also tell you in the first conversation is what we do not hold: we are not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified, and our security page says so in those words. Whether an engagement with us is a material outsourcing arrangement under the MAS guidelines, and what that requires of you, is your compliance team's determination, and it changes the contract before it changes the code, so it belongs in week one.
React Developers: common questions
How much does it cost to hire a React developer in India in 2026?
Senior React developer and agency rates in India run roughly 500 to 4,000 rupees per hour depending on seniority and scope. A dedicated senior React developer on a monthly retainer starts around 40,000 rupees per month, and for project work we quote one flat INR number against a written scope with GST included, so there is no hourly meter and no surprise revision fee. Rates well below that for genuinely senior React work usually mean juniors or hidden change-request costs. International clients are quoted the equivalent in USD, CAD, GBP, or AED.
Should I hire a dedicated React developer or a fixed-price project?
Pick a dedicated developer when the roadmap is still moving and you want to direct the work sprint by sprint, on a monthly rolling contract you can stop anytime. Pick fixed-price when the scope is clear and you want a known number and a known date. Many clients start with a small fixed-price build to test the working relationship, then move to a dedicated developer or retainer once they trust the output.
Do you build with plain React (Vite) or Next.js?
Both, and choosing between them is part of the first call. A plain React app on Vite is the right fit for something behind a login that does not need search visibility: dashboards, admin panels, and internal tools. When you need public indexable pages, server rendering, or built-in routing, we usually use Next.js, which is React with the production plumbing already in place. We will not push you onto more framework than your product needs.
Can you join our existing React codebase instead of starting from scratch?
Yes, that is a common request. We start with a short audit: a dependency and architecture review, a look at how state and the data layer are handled, a performance and accessibility pass, and a written list of what is fragile and what to fix first. From there you can hand us the whole front-end or just the priority work. We ship from your GitHub org, and we match your existing conventions rather than imposing ours.
What does your React stack and tooling look like?
TypeScript everywhere, React Query or SWR for server state, Zustand or Redux Toolkit for client state where it is warranted, React Hook Form for forms, Tailwind or your existing design system for UI, Vite or Next.js for the build, and React Testing Library on Vitest or Jest for tests, all running through CI. When we join an existing codebase we work to its patterns instead of rewriting them for the sake of it.
