Looking for a job in web development? If you’ve already got the skills, this guide is what you’re looking for. Close that Google search for “web developer jobs” and skip square one altogether with this resource goldmine for finding a career in web development. If your skills need some sprucing up or are a little on the nonexistent side, check out this guide we wrote on choosing a coding bootcamp.

We split this guide into a couple different parts to make it easy to navigate and locate exactly what you need. We’ll start off with some general job sites, move into venture capital-funded opportunities, share some remote-specific resources, and finish with a couple location-specific platforms. Click on the ones that interest you, and the website will automatically open in a new tab.

A piece of advice: instead of using these platforms to blast your credentials all over the place, consider instead using their search function just to give you an idea of what’s out there, and then apply directly on each company’s website. Let’s get started!

General

AngelList

AngelList is a popular platform for startups, investors, and job seekers. It boasts that you can apply privately to tens of thousands of startup jobs with just one application. We’d advise being sensible and selective, because employers can see how many jobs you’ve applied to. Having applied to tens of thousands of jobs with just one application probably isn’t something you want to boast about.

Venture Capital Firms

A quick note on venture capital opportunities: the fact is, companies that have raised millions of dollars need to spend that money,  and usually the asset they value most is technical experience.

If you’re feeling at all hesitant or nervous about the next step in your career, consider and appreciate this difficulty on the other side of things. In addition, check out the portfolio section on each of these websites to get familiar with a firm’s past investment successes and gauge the kinds of opportunities you could be a part of.
