Developers are generally paid pretty well. If you're being paid well, you have negotiating power.
If someone will pay you (say) $80k to work 40 hours a week, probably someone will pay you $40k to work 20 hours a week, or $75k to work 40 but have more vacation. You just need to make your desires clear during the job search process.
There is no reason that someone with high-vlue skills should be overworked and miserable. It's a choice.
