About Frontend jobs
Frontend is the single largest hiring category on Geekery.io, with 124 live listings. That’s a function of two things: every product company needs frontend engineers, and the discipline is large enough to support real specialisation. React is by far the dominant framework in UK job ads, with TypeScript now the expected language rather than a differentiator. Vue is second by volume, with strong demand in product-led scale-ups. Angular remains entrenched in enterprise, banking, and government. Svelte / SvelteKit is the fastest-growing minority, with adoption concentrated in newer teams and design-conscious startups.
UK frontend salaries: junior £35,000–£45,000, mid-level £25,000–£150,000, senior £28,311–£90,000, and expert no data. The UK median for frontend developers sits around £55,000. London adds a 15–20% premium; Manchester, Bristol, and Leeds are within ±5% of national median.
What’s worth highlighting in 2026 is the growing demand for design-engineers — frontend engineers who can also do high-fidelity design work in Figma, prototype interactions, and collaborate directly with design rather than handing off from a design team. These hybrid roles pay a meaningful premium and are disproportionately remote-friendly.
Frontend is also the most remote-friendly discipline in UK tech. Roughly 60% of these listings are fully remote within the UK — higher than any other category on Geekery.io. That’s because frontend work doesn’t require on-site infrastructure the way embedded or hardware-adjacent roles do.
The most common frontend specialisations in UK ads: React + TypeScript (overwhelmingly), Next.js / Remix for full-stack React, Vue 3 + Nuxt, accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) as a specific requirement, design systems engineering, and performance / Core Web Vitals optimisation. Mobile-adjacent roles (React Native, Flutter) are listed separately under /jobs/mobile/.
If you’re a senior frontend engineer looking for your next role, the listings below are filtered by recency and include salary bands where employers have shared them. Use the filters on this page to narrow by framework, city, or remote-only.
