Sleuth (a venture-backed company currently in stealth) is seeking a Frontend Software Engineer to join our team on a contract-to-hire basis. You’ll work closely with the founding team to build frontend functionality for our platform, and transform how users think about and interact with our underlying data. We are looking for engineers who like to move as fast as possible, incorporating feedback from customers and stakeholders into their work. This contract-to-hire role is optimal for those who want to bet on themselves – high performers will be offered a full-time role with Sleuth.
Key Responsibilities:
- Write clean, maintainable, and scalable frontend code to power our product
- Quickly design and implement an intuitive, engaging UI that drives user retention
- Implement interconnected React components to fetch data from our backend
- Provide UI/UX insights into how a data-intensive platform should display dense data from disparate sources to its users
Initial Project:
Users come to Sleuth’s platform to interrogate biopharmaceutical data at a unique scale and resolution. Our growing suite of analytical tools allows users to uncover insights that will drive better decision making.
You will be tasked with creating an intuitive experience for users to interact with Sleuth’s data and growing suite of analytical products. Fundamental to this task is allowing users to seamlessly manipulate the underlying data to answer high priority questions via complex analyses, such as benchmarking, simulations, custom models and more. As our product suite will evolve over time, it is important that the frontend be “future-proofed”, allowing additional functionalities to be layered on top of this core interface for a seamless experience. You will work closely with the founding team and have significant input on the design and implementation of the entire experience.
