# Hire senior frontend engineers

Senior frontend engineers own interfaces, state, performance and accessibility. Each one is tested on fundamentals with AI tools off, then on checking AI-generated components that look correct but fail keyboard and screen-reader checks.

How AI changed this role

01

### Models produce UI that looks finished

A generated component can pass a visual check and still fail a keyboard or screen-reader test, and the model won't flag it. Your frontend engineer has to find that gap before your users do.

02

### AI struggles with state and performance

Models are good at producing screens that look right, and they're much worse at state management, performance and accessibility. The engineer has to catch what the model misses.

03

### Verification replaced building as the core skill

The role has shifted from turning designs into components to checking whether AI-generated components hold up on slow phones and with screen readers. Spotting confident mistakes is now a central part of the job.

What we test for

## How we assess frontend engineers

Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For frontend engineers, these criteria carry the most weight.

AI output verification
:   Engineers review generated components that look correct visually but fail keyboard navigation or screen-reader tests, and must catch the failure without a prompt from us.

Debugging
:   The first assessment puts engineers in a real codebase without AI tools, so we see whether they can trace accessibility or state bugs through to the root cause on their own.

Technical understanding
:   We check that engineers understand why a generated component fails, covering accessibility semantics, state behaviour and performance characteristics.

Skills in this role

[Angular developers

They're tested on working with discipline inside a large, opinionated codebase: modules, dependency injection, change detection, and keeping complexity where Angular expects it to be.](https://www.miyagami.com/hire/angular-developers) [JavaScript developers

In the first assessment, they read and fix code they didn't write with AI tools switched off.](https://www.miyagami.com/hire/javascript-developers) [Next.js developers

Each one is tested on the server/client boundary, where AI models are most often confidently wrong.](https://www.miyagami.com/hire/nextjs-developers) [React developers

Each one is tested on component architecture, state management, accessibility and reading design systems they didn't write.](https://www.miyagami.com/hire/react-developers) [TypeScript developers

The assessment checks whether they let types catch what the model missed, as well as whether the code compiles.](https://www.miyagami.com/hire/typescript-developers) [Vue developers

Each one is tested on reactivity, state management and the Composition API, because that's where AI-generated code breaks first and where the gap between a good engineer and a poor one shows.](https://www.miyagami.com/hire/vue-developers)

## Questions about hiring frontend engineers

How much does it cost to hire a senior frontend engineer?

A senior local hire in the Netherlands costs about €9,000 a month all-in, based on a senior software engineer median salary, statutory employer contributions and an amortised recruitment fee. Through us you pay a fixed monthly fee with employment and compliance included, and the pricing calculator shows the two side by side.

How long does it take to hire a frontend engineer?

You get a shortlist within three working days and can hire within five. A local senior hire in the Netherlands typically takes 4 months.

What do you test a frontend engineer on?

Every frontend engineer completes both assessments, and in the second they have to catch a model that's confidently wrong about accessibility. The generated components look right and pass a visual check but fail a keyboard or screen-reader test.
