Frontend Developer

The Frontend Developer is the key piece connecting technology with end users. In 2026, companies look for profiles who not only master frameworks like React or Vue, but understand web performance, accessibility, and can collaborate closely with designers and product managers. It's one of the roles with the greatest geographic mobility thanks to remote work, with competitive salaries in both Europe and the US. Demand far exceeds the supply of qualified talent, which means with the right strategy, you can get multiple offers simultaneously.
