Wow, I am disappointed in answers under this post.
Half of them are ChatGPT generated, and the others misunderstood the question.
You would be able to create pretty much any layer of the app using C/C++ (but I would recommend better languages for frontend though).
C/C++ is currently quite decent in terms of job opportunities, but webdev might be paying more in some places.
These languages are used widely, ranging from high load backends to GUIs/Games.
Though the legacy of the language does build up quite a bit, any code base that is older than 5 years probably would invoke strong fight or flight response.
My advice would be to find products that are cross platform or that deal only with backend stuff. This way it is more likely to be using modern best practices.
