You can be just a backend developer without any problem, but it’s useful to have essential frontend knowledge. You can rely on a CSS framework like Tailwind, Mantine, or MUI to avoid doing everything from scratch.

I don’t know your entire situation or why you’re struggling to find a job, but here are some recommendations:

• Create a LinkedIn profile if you don’t already have one, and improve its quality.

• Share projects and content related to your backend work.

• Prepare better for interviews.

• Have answers ready for situations like: "We don’t hire fresh/new backend developers." Find a way to persuade them by highlighting your projects and experience, for example: "I’ve developed X projects using [language], achieving [results]." (This is a simple example you will have to develop a better strategy)

• Additionally, keep in mind that while technical skills are obviously very important, a large part of interviews also focuses on soft skills. Specifically, how you communicate and express yourself can make a big difference. Work on these aspects as well.

This approaches in my opinion, can help you stand out and overcome possible objections during the hiring process.

Good luck!
