ATS keywords for a frontend developer resume

The key ATS keywords for a frontend developer resume are the core stack (JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, HTML5, CSS3), styling and UI (Tailwind CSS, responsive design, design systems), state and data (Redux, React Query, REST APIs, GraphQL), and quality work (web accessibility, WCAG, web performance, Jest). Name the framework version the posting uses and pair it with an interface you actually built.

Frontend ATS filters key off the framework first (React dominates, but match the posting if it says Vue or Angular), then on the supporting skills that signal seniority — accessibility, performance, and testing separate a senior frontend engineer from someone who only styles pages. Claim WCAG or performance work only if you can point to the audit or the metric you moved.
