As a frontend developer at AMG, you’ll be expected to wear a number of hats. You will be responsible for writing clean, DRY, and performant Rails code as well as designing an outstanding user interface and experience. Working alongside business users, analysts, and backend developers, you will need to have a deep understanding of the terabytes of data available and use tools like D3.js to come up with innovative ways to present them to end-users in ways that are both beautiful – and useful.
