Frontend Developer Job Requirements from Live Career Pages

Start with the repeated requirements, then verify each one against the specific posting. In a live snapshot, React, TypeScript, and JavaScript appeared far more often than any other frontend requirements. Your CV should make real evidence for those skills easy to find.

The figures below come from a Job Radar corpus snapshot dated 2026-09-15. The wider corpus had 579,828 active postings. The Frontend Developer slice had 884 active titles. A random sample of 50 job descriptions was used for the skill percentages. This is a view of public company career pages, not a LinkedIn scrape.

The short answer: what employers repeat most

These are patterns in the sample, not universal employer rules. A percentage means the requirement appeared in that share of the 50 sampled postings.

Skill or requirement	Share of sampled postings
React	70%
TypeScript	66%
JavaScript	56%
Git	28%
Agile	24%
Next.js	24%
Figma	20%
REST APIs	20%
CI/CD	18%
React Native	16%
AWS	14%
Playwright	14%

React, TypeScript, and JavaScript form the clearest cluster. If you have used them, put them in your skills section and connect them to work in your experience bullets. Do not rely on a keyword list alone.

The next group is more selective. Git and Agile appeared often enough to check early. Next.js, Figma, REST APIs, and CI/CD may matter for the particular role. React Native, AWS, and Playwright appeared less often in this sample, but a specific posting may still treat one of them as important.

Do not add a tool because it appears in this table. Add it only if your own work supports it. The job description keyword extractor can list must-haves, tools, and nice-to-haves from one posting. It can also mark which terms already appear in your resume PDF.

Workplace patterns in the live slice

The work arrangement was mixed. That matters when you set a location preference and decide which cards to read first.

Workplace type	Share of 884-title slice
Onsite	43%
Hybrid	29%
Remote	27%

Onsite was the largest group at 43%. Hybrid followed at 29%. Remote roles made up 27%. These figures describe the role slice, not a promise that every city will have the same mix.

Frequent locations in the slice included San Francisco with 23 postings, London with 22, Remote with 17, Seoul with 12, Bengaluru with 10, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore with 10, United States with 10, and Poland with 9. Location labels can be inconsistent across career pages, so read the work arrangement and country details on each card.

The ATS sources in this slice were Ashby with 224 postings, Greenhouse with 198, SmartRecruiters with 161, Workable with 99, Lever with 85, and Teamtailor with 28. These are public career-page sources. They are not a complete list of every system used by employers.

How to turn the requirements into CV evidence

A requirement becomes useful on your CV when a reader can see what you built, changed, or supported. Use a specific project or work example. Add a metric only when you can defend it.

Here are five generic examples. The metrics are illustrative. Replace them with your own results or remove them.

• Built React and TypeScript interface components that reduced reported UI defects by 28% across two release cycles.
• Used JavaScript and REST APIs to improve a data-loading flow, cutting average page response time by 35%.
• Worked with Git and Agile delivery practices across a six-person team, helping complete 18 planned tickets in one sprint cycle.
• Used Next.js and Figma specifications to implement responsive pages, increasing completed checkout sessions by 12%.
• Added CI/CD checks and Playwright coverage for a frontend workflow, reducing repeated manual release checks from 40 minutes to 15.

These bullets do three jobs. They name the relevant skill. They state the action. They show an outcome. They also give the reader a reason to believe the keyword belongs to your background.

Do not copy a sample bullet if you did not do the work. Do not claim React Native, AWS, Figma, or any other skill without evidence. A missing skill is better than an inaccurate claim.

Experience level and education signals

When a sampled post stated years of experience, the median was 5. Only 56% of sampled posts mentioned years. That median is a description of the sample, not an employer cutoff and not a rule for deciding whether to apply.

Education and license language was scattered. No single education phrase reached 10% of the sample. Do not add a degree requirement to your own screening process unless the specific job description asks for one.

This is useful when you scan. A role that mentions a number of years is asking for a signal about scope or experience. It does not automatically reject every candidate below that number. Read the rest of the posting and compare its actual requirements with your evidence.

A live-posting scan before you tailor

Use this process to avoid rewriting your CV for a role that does not fit your location or background.

• Open Job Radar and finish your career profile.
• Run Find jobs for me.
• Set your preferred city and inspect the workplace type on each card.
• Read Frontend Developer cards from the live public ATS corpus.
• Check whether the posting is onsite, hybrid, or remote.
• Confirm that a remote posting appears hireable in your country.
• Record the skills that are present in the posting and also present in your background.
• Separate must-haves from tools or nice-to-haves.
• Read the full posting before deciding whether a percentage from this article applies.
• Tailor your CV using evidence you can support.

The free experience includes one promo search, 10 cards, and 5 readable cards. The remaining cards are locked. Pro includes the first run, daily new unique jobs, up to 50 readable jobs, and Generate CV on a match.

If you want to use the service, you can create an account and complete the profile before searching. Job Radar matches the profile against public postings from sources such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Rippling, Personio, and similar career pages. It does not ingest LinkedIn, Indeed, Naukri, or Workday.

How to tailor one Frontend Developer application

First, keep the CV readable. Put React, TypeScript, or JavaScript in a visible skills section only when they are genuine skills. Then place the strongest evidence in your experience section. A recruiter should not have to infer that a project used one of the required technologies.

Second, mirror the posting's wording where it accurately describes your experience. If the posting says TypeScript and your CV only says typed frontend development, change the wording to TypeScript if that is truthful. Do not turn an adjacent technology into a claim about direct experience.

Third, check the gaps. A gap may mean the skill is absent from your CV, not absent from your background. If you have used it, add the relevant project or result. If you have not used it, leave it out and decide whether the role still makes sense.

For one posting, you can upload a resume PDF and paste the job description into the ATS resume checker. It returns a match score, missing keywords, and gaps. The PDF is scanned for the result and is not saved to an account. The score is a diagnostic from this tool, not the employer's ATS number.

A Job Radar score works the same way. It helps match your profile to a posting and sort opportunities. It does not represent the employer's Workday, Greenhouse, or other ATS score. The chat can browse jobs already on your board, but it does not start a new corpus search.
