Lead Front End Developer

We have recently finished an MVP which consists of a RESTful API written in Python (Flask), and a frontend written in React, Typescript and SCSS.  The MVP itself is a set of automated workflows that allows our consultants to easily perform analysis on a given sector/company in a fraction of the time that it would take them to manually complete.  Although we have an established backend team of four developers, our frontend was written by an external agency.  We have now offboarded the agency, and we are looking at building an internal frontend team to take ownership of the platform.

The successful candidate for this role will be the first full-time frontend hire at Anmut.  They will be responsible for building on top of the existing frontend codebase, and leading the direction that the platform takes from a frontend perspective.  In the coming months, the frontend team will expand, and the successful candidate will be in charge of building and managing this expanding team, providing mentorship and guidance when needed.  They will be working closely with product managers and the backend team in order to continue developing the platform.
