What does a frontend engineer do?
A frontend engineer builds what users see and touch. O*NET has no frontend occupation; the closest O*NET occupation is Web Developers (O*NET 15-1254.00), and its core tasks include:
- Write supporting code for Web applications or Web sites.
- Evaluate code to ensure that it is valid, is properly structured, meets industry standards, and is compatible with browsers, devices, or operating systems.
- Perform Web site tests according to planned schedules, or after any Web site or product revision.
- Analyze user needs to determine technical requirements.
Which skills help a frontend engineer get hired?
Frontend engineers get hired on shipped, tested interfaces that work across browsers and devices. A portfolio with live links and notes on how you tested each release says more than a list of frameworks.
O*NET's technology list for Web Developers includes AJAX and design tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Design-tool skills help most where engineers work from raw design files.
