You are looking for a bit of a rare bird. I'm sure others are asking for the same thing and getting more applicants. Be sure you are comparing yourself only to them.
Job postings seem to either request mystical abilities, attainable only by the rockstar ninjas that don't need a job anyway, or have some sort of requirement that makes the job look like a miserable opportunity.
I suspect that most front end devs make more money working from home freelance than they do via salaried positions. In that case, why bind yourself to a salaried job at an office?
As a hiring manager, I feel your pain. I've had a hard time finding and keeping the good ones because of our old-school office environment. As a job seeker, I decided to stick to freelance opportunities and networking. I've landed more gigs by making friends than by sending resumes.
Requiring a formal Resume process to apply? Remote working? Relocation expenses? Too little equity+pay? Not a very interesting job post?
