About Ludonautics

Ludonautics is a sports advisory business dedicated to helping sporting organisations improve their data science capabilities through access to insightful statistical analysis. Ludonautics was founded in 2023 by Ian Graham, who served as Liverpool FC's Director of Research from 2012 to 2023. At Liverpool, Ian helped transform the club's fortunes by building the Premier League's first data science department. Now he wants to help other teams do the same.

What will you be doing?

You’ll help to design and build front-end web applications and data visualisations for all of Ludonautics’ client-facing products and our internal dashboards, from Player Recruitment dashboards to Team Performance reports. You’ll work as part of a team to design, build, and maintain the front-end of the products, collaborating with the Data Science team, and ensuring great UI/UX for our users. You will design solutions that are robust and scalable.

The role will include:

• Designing, building, and maintaining technical solutions for data visualisations
• Designing and developing web applications for internal and external clients with a thoughtful approach to the UI/UX.
• Developing internal guidelines and tools to maintain a consistent and coherent aesthetic and brand across pages and web applications
• Creating and maintaining necessary product, design and specification documentation
• Resolving technical incidents and problems related to the front-end layer of web applications
• Contribute to an inclusive team culture

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced front-end developer who is comfortable with web design, learning new skills, and happy working across a range of technologies and frameworks.

This is a UK-based remote role; however, there will be monthly company meetings to attend, usually in London, with reasonable travel and accommodation costs covered.
