Trending Hiring Guides
AI Engineers
AI Engineers build and integrate AI systems, especially LLMs, into products. With salaries from $110K-$350K, focus on candidates who understand LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering. Key difference from ML Engineer: AI Engineers focus on generative AI and language models, not traditional ML.
Svelte Developers
Svelte developers build fast, lightweight web applications that compile to vanilla JavaScript—no virtual DOM overhead. Created by Rich Harris (now at Vercel), Svelte is rapidly growing with companies like Apple, Spotify, and IBM adopting it. The talent pool is smaller but passionate, with salaries ranging $70K-$190K. Look for developers who understand Svelte's compile-time approach and SvelteKit for full-stack applications.
Go Developers
Go developers build high-performance, scalable backend systems using a statically-typed language designed at Google for cloud-scale infrastructure. Companies like Uber, Docker, and Kubernetes use Go for its speed and simplicity. Demand is growing +24% YoY, but the talent pool is smaller than JavaScript or Python—making hiring more competitive and requiring targeted sourcing strategies.
Next.js Developers
Next.js developers build production-ready React applications with server-side rendering, API routes, and optimized performance out of the box. Used by Vercel, TikTok, Netflix, and thousands of companies, Next.js talent commands $120K-$200K salaries depending on experience. Look for solid understanding of SSR vs SSG vs ISR trade-offs and modern App Router patterns with Server Components.
React Developers
React developers build interactive UIs for products like Airbnb and Netflix using a component-based architecture that dominates modern frontend development. With consistently high demand (+8% YoY growth) and US salaries ranging from $100-200K depending on experience, focus on candidates who have built and shipped real features to production users, not just those with syntax knowledge from tutorials.
FastAPI Developers
FastAPI is a modern Python framework for building high-performance APIs with automatic OpenAPI documentation. With async support, type validation via Pydantic, and performance comparable to Node.js/Go, FastAPI is growing extremely fast—especially for ML model deployment. Companies like Microsoft, Netflix, and Uber use it for internal tools. Senior FastAPI developers command $150-200K in the US.
