Front End Engineer
The Role
We are currently looking to grow our team of engineers and are recruiting for a Front end Engineer to work alongside the Front end Lead and the wider business on a suite of FinTech SaaS applications, and its supporting data platform. Optimal Compliance specialises in helping SMEs to run their businesses more efficiently and advises on 2 notable sections of the industry: the R&D Tax Credits scheme and operating as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). Traditionally both of these practices have been tricky and time-consuming for small businesses and consultants alike. As a result of the complex nature of these industries, we have already delivered a SaaS R&D tax relief product to market. Optimal Compliance is also in the process of building an application to automate the creation and maintenance of its LLP and group structuring practice, this will also be available as a SaaS product. You will play a pivotal role in designing, architecting, building and maintaining both SaaS applications.
