Build your career as a Frontend Developer
Frontend projects with scope agreed before you start: interfaces with React and TypeScript, design systems that get reused and performance that gets measured. Shakers connects you with teams that need exactly your stack.
Going project-based as a frontend developer usually starts in an English-only marketplace or competing on price against rates from another market. Nobody tells you how per-project collaboration actually works: defined scope and a company you can name.
What follows is not a study route: it is what gets touched on a real project, what you are asked to prove and where your brief ends.
- Higher-paying projects
- More continuity between projects
- Greater recognition for your experience

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

Alejandro
AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

“With Shakers I have landed recurring projects that give me peace of mind and room to grow professionally. It is not just about reaching quality clients: it is feeling that you have a network behind you, one that connects you with real opportunities and helps you move forward as a freelancer.”
Join ShakersWhat you can build as a Frontend Developer at Shakers
A Frontend Developer builds and sustains the layer of a digital product the user sees and touches: interfaces in React, Vue or Angular on TypeScript, responsive design and accessibility to WCAG. Their unit of work is the reusable component and their goal, an experience that is fast and measurable in Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS and INP). If the brief is data or server logic, the role is backend; if it is deciding how things should look without building them, it is design.
You touch the whole interface: React components with TypeScript, the design system that orders them and the state that does not break at the third requirement. On top, what separates a senior: WCAG accessibility, measured Core Web Vitals and tests with Jest or Cypress before anyone asks. And the hand-in-hand with Figma, from screen to component.

What a Frontend Developer delivers on a Shakers project
The brief arrives with the symptom
The project arrives with the slow web, the form failing on mobile or the half-built design system: a concrete interface problem, not a list of technologies.
Interfaces that hold themselves up
Components documented, accessible to WCAG and with performance measured. What you deliver is maintained by the client's team when you close the milestone.
React and TypeScript, your ground
The pair Spanish job ads dominate. Vue, Nuxt or Angular when the product already lives in them: you enter on the client's stack, not your own.
Interfaces told, not mocked up
Having taken real components to production and knowing how to tell it: what you decided, what you measured and what you changed after the first real user.
What gets fixed first
Prioritising by impact: which performance metric blocks the screen, which accessibility failure locks out more users and what can wait a sprint.
Where your brief ends
You implement the interface; you do not design it from scratch nor hold the server. If the project asks for backend or pure design, you say so at kickoff.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
What does a Frontend Developer do each day?
Components other teams use, screens requested today and a performance or accessibility audit that sets the week's priorities. The web that does not break on mobile was your best deliverable.
Which tools get used daily?
React with TypeScript almost always; Vue and Nuxt as the second family, Angular in large products. Figma with design, Jest or Cypress to test and Git for everything.
How do you move from markup developer to Frontend Developer?
By adding the stack job ads already ask for: components in React, types in TypeScript and tests. Certification looks at interfaces you have taken to production, not courses.
How much do you earn as a Frontend Developer by project?
The market and the scope set it: which screens get touched and what level of accessibility and performance is required. At Shakers you agree the budget per project before accepting.
How do you go project-based as a Frontend Developer in Spain?
With demonstrable work and projects that arrive with scope already defined, without bidding on price. Certification opens the door the endless form never opens.
How do you join Shakers as a certified Frontend Developer?
You create your profile, pass the certification process and enter the collective: only 4 percent make it. Then you choose which frontend projects you collaborate on.
The daily shape of the craft
The screen a team requests today, the component polished tomorrow and Friday's accessibility audit. Fewer maintenance tickets for others and more interface that holds itself up.
The tools are the craft
2,819 active tech job ads in Spain mention frontend, according to Shakers market analysis (n=31,162, September 2026). React appears in 3,080 and TypeScript in 2,801: the market asks for the role by framework.
How people get here
Two frequent doors: the markup developer who already mastered HTML and CSS and adds React and TypeScript, and the designer who moves into implementation. Both arrive with half the craft done.
What this role is not
They do not design the data system nor hold the server logic: that is backend. And they do not decide how things should look without building them: they implement. Your product is the interface other people use.
Who you share a frontend project with
An interface is not held up by one person alone: whoever serves the data, whoever deploys and whoever tests cross your path.
Backend Developer
Holds up what your interface paints: when the data arrives broken or the logic fails, the brief passes from your screen to their API.
Full Stack Developer
Covers screen and server on projects born whole; in an already-live system, their profile and yours split the layers of the product.
React Developer
The framework with the most mentions in Spanish job ads has its own page: if your profile is pure React, that is where matching by stack gets sharp.
DevOps Engineer
Your component ends where the pipeline begins: whoever governs the cache and the edge it is served from decides how long your screen takes to appear.
QA Engineer
Cypress and Playwright belong to you both: you test your component; whoever automates the product's whole suite and watches regression is them.
Boundaries between these roles are agreed per project: the job title doesn't set them.
