What Does a Frontend Developer Do?
A frontend developer builds the parts of a web application people see and interact with — layouts, components and interactions. They turn designs into responsive, accessible interfaces using HTML, CSS and JavaScript frameworks such as React or Vue, working closely with designers and backend engineers.
The role rewards an eye for detail and performance, since the frontend is where users judge a product. It is one of the most common fully remote engineering hires.
