Job description

Blue Oak Consulting is looking for an Associate Frontend Engineer to assist our team in building functional, data driven interfaces for a major Italian partner. This role focuses on turning complex economic models into clear digital tools that help our clients understand their financial decisions without the distraction of corporate jargon.

About Blue Oak Consulting

Blue Oak Consulting provides independent advisory on pricing, portfolio economics, capital allocation, and acquisition assumptions. We are not a traditional firm focused on broad transformation programs or high level strategy decks. Instead, we interrogate specific commercial decisions where the financial stakes are high and the existing narrative is not sufficient. Our team looks past corporate language and P&L complexity to identify where value is leaking or capital is trapped. We work across sectors like software, manufacturing, and healthcare to test whether the assumptions behind a growth plan or an acquisition actually hold under pressure. We are a small, principal led firm where the people who do the work are the ones accountable for the results. We do not take transaction contingent fees, which allows us to be completely honest about whether the economics of a decision make sense. Our goal is to provide clarity through financial discipline and a healthy amount of skepticism.

The Role

This is a fully remote position that requires a high degree of technical curiosity and a disciplined approach to development. As an Associate Frontend Engineer, you will work alongside our analysts and senior principals to build the digital components that bring our financial findings to life. You will not just be writing code for its own sake: you will be building the windows through which our clients see their own data. The work involves a mix of rapid prototyping for specific client engagements and the maintenance of our internal toolkit. You will be part of a distributed team that prioritizes clear communication and logical problem solving over rigid hierarchy.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing and maintaining interactive web interfaces that visualize complex financial datasets for our major Italian partner.
• Translating static economic models and spreadsheets into responsive, functional web components.
• Collaborating with senior developers to implement clean, well documented code in a remote environment.
• Ensuring that data visualizations accurately represent the underlying financial logic without adding unnecessary complexity.
• Participating in regular code reviews to ensure consistency and reliability across our internal tools.
• Testing interfaces for usability and performance to ensure they remain functional when handling large volumes of financial information.
• Working closely with the consulting team to understand the specific questions a client needs to answer.
• Troubleshooting technical issues and refining existing features based on feedback from the principals.

What You Bring

• A degree in Computer Science, Web Development, or a related field (or equivalent practical project experience).
• Foundational knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Familiarity with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular through coursework or personal projects.
• A genuine interest in how businesses work and a desire to understand the financial logic behind the software you build.
• The ability to explain technical concepts to non technical team members in plain English.
• A disciplined approach to work with a focus on accuracy and attention to detail.
• Comfort working in a fully remote setting and managing your own schedule effectively.
• An investigative mindset that enjoys looking under the hood to find out why a system or piece of code is not performing as expected.

What We Offer

• A fully remote working arrangement that allows for a flexible and focused environment.
• Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry level professional in today's market.
• The opportunity to work on high stakes projects for a major Italian partner and other global clients.
• Direct mentorship and access to senior leadership within a principal led firm.
• Exposure to the intersection of finance and technology, providing a unique perspective on commercial decision making.
• A culture that values honesty, skepticism, and financial discipline over corporate buzzwords.
• The chance to build tools that have a tangible impact on how companies allocate capital and manage their portfolios.

Working at Blue Oak Consulting means being part of a team that stays through the execution phase of a project. We believe that decisions which look sound in theory often fail when they meet real world friction, and our engineering team plays a vital role in identifying that friction early. You will find an environment where your technical skills are applied to serious economic problems, and where the clarity of your code contributes directly to the clarity of our advice. We value those who take pride in their craft and who are more interested in the logic of a solution than the latest industry trends.
