What do you get when you hire a Vue developer from us?
You get an engineer who works in your repository, your pull requests and your sprint rhythm, and who knows the current Vue 3 way of building things. Vue 2 reached end of life, so most of the requests we see are either new Vue 3 products or Vue 2 apps that have to move. We place people for both, and we say up front which one your codebase needs.
What do we check before we put a Vue developer forward?
Writing a template is not the test. We look at how a candidate handles the parts of Vue that go wrong in real projects.
- Composition API and
<script setup>. Can they split logic into composables with clear inputs and outputs, or do they copy options-API habits into a new syntax? - Reactivity rules. Losing reactivity by destructuring a reactive object, mixing
refandreactivewithout a reason, and watchers that fire twice are the bugs we ask about. - State with Pinia. Where state belongs (a store, a composable, a component), and how stores are typed and tested.
- Vite tooling. Aliases, environment variables, code splitting and the slow-build problems that appear in a large monorepo.
- TypeScript with Vue. Typed props and emits, generic components, and a strict config that does not fight the team.
- Testing. Vitest and Vue Test Utils for logic, plus a browser-level test for the flows that earn money.
- Rendering. When a page needs server rendering, and whether Nuxt is the right wrapper. Our Nuxt developers page covers that side.
Every candidate also reviews a real pull request and walks us through a Vue application they shipped and maintained.
What do Vue developers usually do in the first weeks?
The first tasks are rarely greenfield. A typical opening looks like this:
| Situation | First tasks |
|---|---|
| Vue 2 app in production | Audit dependencies, find what blocks Vue 3, set up the compatibility build, migrate route by route |
| Vue 3 app with an options-API codebase | Introduce composables where the pain is, replace Vuex with Pinia, keep the old code running |
| Slow or untested app | Profile rendering, split bundles, add tests around checkout, forms and auth |
| New product | Set the project structure, design tokens, API layer and CI before any feature work |
Migrating a Vue 2 app is mostly about third party libraries. Plugins that never shipped a Vue 3 version, old UI kits and Vuex modules with deep coupling decide the schedule more than the application code does. We map those first and then agree an order with you.
Which engagement model fits?
- One dedicated developer. You have a backlog and a lead, and you need capacity. The engineer joins your standups and works to your review process.
- Team extension. Two or more Vue engineers join an existing group, often with a QA or designer. See IT staff augmentation for how this works day to day.
- Scoped project. You want an outcome, such as a Vue 3 migration or a rebuilt storefront, with one team owning it. A dedicated team covers longer programmes.
The rate depends on seniority and how much architecture work the role carries. We quote after a short intro call, and you interview the developer before anything starts.
Should you pick Vue at all?
If you are choosing a framework rather than staffing one, read our comparisons first. React vs Vue covers hiring pool, ecosystem and project fit, and Angular vs Vue covers the structured, enterprise end of the choice. Our frontend development services page shows how we deliver whole projects, and all frontend developer roles are listed in one place.
How do you start?
Tell us the stack, the Vue version you run today and the outcome you want. We reply after a short intro call with candidates whose experience matches, and you decide who joins.
