Demand is steady. The market has become more selective compared to 2021 to 2022 when any React developer was in demand. Companies are now looking for engineers who can demonstrate ownership and quality alongside React fluency. The bar for junior and mid-level roles has risen.
HubSpot and Intercom are among the most active frontend hirers in Dublin. Stripe hires selectively at the senior end. Zalando hires at volume for its Dublin engineering function. Among growth-stage companies, Fenergo and Clio have been consistently active.
Around 78% of active listings advertise hybrid or fully remote working. Frontend development is largely asynchronous and tool-driven, making it one of the more remote-friendly engineering disciplines.
Next.js proficiency commands the highest premium at around 15%. Web Core Vitals optimisation experience and WCAG 2.2 accessibility expertise follow. Developers who can demonstrate measurable performance improvements on high-traffic products consistently earn above the frontend median.
