Senior staff – most in demand for backend, fullstack and especially frontend
Specialists who have been in the industry for more than five years are most in demand for backend, frontend and fullstack development, with the most noticeable difference between the positions for them and those for people in the mid category seen in frontend listings.
On the other hand, open junior positions are between two and five times fewer compared to senior-level opportunities.
