BGI has the following full time opportunity with our direct client located in New York, NY
Role Background
-
This role integrates the backend technologies with the application and presentation layer.

They will be responsible for creating new dashboards and data visualization tools for the new products, and working with the UI designers to refine the client-side aspects of current and new products. In coming months, this would likely shift to be increasingly more product oriented, rather than service oriented. This is also not a product with tons of external users - client-side application needs to be efficient and intuitive specifically for business and enterprise clients rather than for the general consumer.
