TypeScript / JS in IT — CIS and Europe market
Frontend TypeScript Developer — the broad "general Frontend" niche for jobs where a specific framework isn't specified or polyglot knowledge is expected (React + Vue, or TypeScript fluency). The taxonomy includes any frontend developer who mentions TypeScript / JavaScript / Front-end Developer / Frontend Engineer in the title. Large overlap with the react/vue/angular specialised segments (see below). Role family: Frontend TypeScript Developer (any framework), Polyglot Frontend Engineer (React + Vue or multiple stacks), Web Developer (legacy, jQuery + JS), JavaScript Developer (general). Stack: TypeScript (must in modern jobs — strict mode + generics + utility types), JavaScript ES6+ (mandatory to understand TypeScript output), one of React/Vue/Angular (by context), Vite/Webpack, Tailwind CSS/CSS Modules/styled-components, Jest/Vitest + Playwright/Cypress. According to Zorky CRM, 346 active openings with a median salary of $5750/mo. Top stack: react, typescript, aws, javascript, vue. 95.1% remote. Tip: if you know a specific framework — check the specialised pages /research/frontend/react / /research/frontend/vue / /research/frontend/angular for more precise stack data.

Hiring geography
The leader by Frontend job count is 🇵🇱 Poland (222 positions). Russia — CIS product companies dominate. Poland — large remote market. Large international remote segment.
Job distribution by country.
These numbers reflect the distribution across the sources we parse. Poland often looks dominant because of dense NoFluffJobs / JustJoin.it / Pracuj coverage — the Polish IT market is genuinely large, but in our sample its share is overweighted relative to the real volume of all IT jobs in the region. Same caveat for other top countries: this is «where our parsers look», not «the true size of the market».
Remote / Hybrid / Office — trend
95.1% of Frontend jobs are remote or hybrid. One of the most remote-friendly IT segments. Russian product companies — hybrid or remote. Startups — full-remote.

How much do Frontend TypeScript developers earn in Moscow, St Petersburg, remote?
Moscow Senior Frontend — $5,000-8,500/mo (Yandex, Avito, Tinkoff, Wildberries, OZON, VK, Mail.ru). St Petersburg $4,500-7,500. Minsk/Kyiv $3,500-6,000. Poland €4,500-7,500 gross Senior. 95.1% remote. Relocant hubs for Russian-speaking Frontend: Dubai, Cyprus, Lisbon, Tbilisi, Bali. International SaaS — $6,000-10,500 Senior. Details by specific stack — on the specialised react/vue/angular pages.
What stack does a Frontend TypeScript Developer most often need?
Top 5 common technologies: react, typescript, aws, javascript, vue. TypeScript — must (95%+ of modern jobs — strict mode + generics + utility types + discriminated unions). JavaScript ES6+ — mandatory (understanding Promise, async/await, modules, prototypes). One framework: React (60-70% of jobs), Vue 3 (15-20%), Angular (10-15%), rare Svelte. Build: Vite (modern dominator) or Webpack (legacy). Styling: Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, styled-components, Emotion. Testing: Jest/Vitest + Playwright/Cypress. Knowledge of Web Vitals + accessibility (WCAG) — Senior must. HTML5 + CSS3 + Flexbox + Grid — mandatory base.
TypeScript vs JavaScript — what to learn in 2026?
TypeScript right away — that's the lock in 2026. JS-only jobs remain only in legacy projects (decade-old codebases). 95%+ of modern frontend teams require TypeScript. Learning vanilla JS separately is a waste of time. However, understanding the JavaScript runtime (event loop, prototypes, closures) is mandatory for understanding TypeScript output + debugging in production (where compiled JS, not TS, runs). Strategy: learn TS from the start, but in parallel study the JS fundamentals TS is built on. Books: "You Don't Know JS" Simpson (for JS fundamentals), "TypeScript Deep Dive" (free for TS mastery).
React vs Vue vs Angular — which framework should a beginner learn?
React — the default pick for a beginner in 2026 thanks to the largest job-market size (60-70% of all CIS frontend jobs). Huge ecosystem, React Native bonus for mobile, maximum portability of skill between companies. Vue 3 — the second pick, cleaner DX + Composition API, batteries-included (Vue Router + Pinia in the official ecosystem). Fewer jobs, but Senior Vue ≈ React Senior. Angular — the third pick for those planning a career at banks/enterprise (Sber/EPAM/Luxoft main employers). The most opinionated framework, premium pay +10-15% over React Senior for rare skill. Learning a second framework — after reaching Senior level in the first (for diversification). Details — on /research/frontend/react / /research/frontend/vue / /research/frontend/angular.
Can Frontend developers work remotely?
Yes, 95.1% of Frontend jobs are full-remote or hybrid. Frontend is one of the most remote-friendly IT segments. Russian product companies — hybrid or remote after probation. Startups and international SaaS — full-remote. Relocant hubs: Dubai, Cyprus, Lisbon, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Bali, Serbia (Belgrade), Georgia. English — must for international remote with a premium +25-40%.
How is "general Frontend" different from Fullstack / React/Vue/Angular specialisations?
General Frontend (this page) — a broad niche for jobs without an explicit framework binding. Includes React/Vue/Angular developers in one pool. Good for juniors who haven't picked a framework yet, or polyglot Seniors who know 2+ stacks. React/Vue/Angular specialisations — specific stacks, for which we have separate pages with precise pay + Q5/Q6 framework-specific. If you know your stack, check: /research/frontend/react (224 jobs), /research/frontend/vue (74), /research/frontend/angular (97). Fullstack Engineer — frontend + backend in one role. On this page — only frontend-focused jobs.
Which companies actively hire Frontend?
At the top: Yandex, Avito, Tinkoff. Large CIS product companies: Yandex (dozens of teams), Avito, Tinkoff, Wildberries, OZON, VK, Mail.ru, Sber, Alfa, Lamoda, Samokat, JetBrains, Kaspersky. EdTech: Skyeng, Uchi.ru, Skillbox, GeekBrains. Outsourcers: EPAM (the largest Frontend employer in CIS), Luxoft, Andersen, DataArt. International SaaS with CIS teams: Wrike, Revolut, Bolt, inDriver, Toptal, Crossover. Y Combinator startups — premium pay $6,500-11,000+ for Russian-speaking Senior on full-remote.
Where to start in Frontend in 2026?
Roadmap: 1) HTML5 + CSS3 + Flexbox + Grid — Stepik/MDN/freeCodeCamp. 2) JavaScript ES6+ — async/await, modules, destructuring, prototypes. Books: "You Don't Know JS" Simpson. 3) TypeScript — types, generics, narrowing. TypeScript Deep Dive (free). 4) Pick ONE framework — React recommended for market size. Vue or Angular — if confident in a niche (startup segment vs banking). 5) Master hooks/Composition/Components, state management, routing, testing. 6) Pet project: SPA or Next/Nuxt app with auth + API + state management + tests, deployed. 7) After Junior — diversification via a second framework. Courses: Karpov.Courses, Yandex.Practicum, Skillfactory, Hexlet. Time to Junior — 6-12 months full-time.
