Junior Frontend Developer

About Chisl

Chisl is a niche management consultancy that specialises in providing bespoke and innovative solutions for quantitative and data-related problems. We are seeking a highly motivated Junior Frontend Developer to join our data software development team.

This unique role involves being directly embedded within a client's development team, acting as Chisl's technical representative, and driving the development of critical client-facing software. This position is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career professional who is passionate about modern frontend development and has a keen interest in the principles of data engineering.

Core Responsibilities

This role is defined by direct client interaction and requires the successful candidate to operate as a fully integrated member of the client's development team.

Client-Embedded Development & Ownership:
Operate while embedded within a client's development team, taking ownership of the frontend implementation of their software.

Company Culture & Role Dynamics

We are a small company with a flat management structure, operating as one team. This is not a pure software development position; it is a hybrid role where project management, analysis, and client engagement are integral to success. You will be expected to embrace a varied and dynamic workload. For example, one day may involve architecting a new React component for a client's data dashboard, and the next, you may be collaborating with a data engineer to optimize an API endpoint for frontend consumption.

Minimum Requirements

• 0-2 years of professional experience in software development.
• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related Engineering field.
• Demonstrated academic excellence (e.g., 65% academic average for university degree).
• Coding proficiency in Next.js and React (or similar modern framework).
• Strong experience with Type Script and modern web technologies (HTML5, CSS3).
• A strong, demonstrable interest in Data Engineering principles and data-driven application design.
• Basic knowledge of SQL and relational databases.
• Willingness to work 3 x per week in our Irene office for internal team collaboration and mentorship.

Advantageous

• Knowledge of interactive Figma for design-to-development workflow.
• Knowledge of backend technologies like Python (Flask/Django) or Node.js.
• Experience using cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) for deployment or integration.
• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker) and Dev Ops practices.

Why Join Chisl?

At Chisl, we operate as a small but diverse team with deep technical expertise, partnering with clients across multiple industries to understand their unique needs. We are focused on pragmatic solutions that lead to timely results for our clients and products. We foster an open and honest culture that promotes continuous learning, encourages collaboration, and rewards excellence. This role offers unparalleled exposure to client decision-makers and the opportunity to shape the technical direction of high-impact data software.
