Job description

We are looking for a Junior Web Developer to assist in building the internal tools and data interfaces used by our advisory team. This role is currently supporting a major project where a Belgian logistics firm is centralizing its data structures, requiring clean and accessible web applications to manage complex pricing models. About Blue Oak Consulting Blue Oak Consulting provides independent advisory on pricing, portfolio economics, capital allocation, and acquisition assumptions. We are not a traditional consulting 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. We stay through the execution phase because decisions that look sound in theory often fail when they meet real world friction., In this position, you will work directly with our principals to translate financial logic into functional web tools. This is a fully remote role that requires a disciplined approach to independent work. You will not be building marketing sites or flashy interfaces: your focus will be on the technical utility of dashboards and internal applications that handle large sets of financial data. The environment is analytical and quiet, prioritizing clear code and functional reliability over aesthetic trends. You will have the opportunity to see exactly how your technical work supports high level financial decisions for clients like the Belgian logistics firm we are currently advising. What You Will Be Doing

  • Developing and maintaining internal web applications used for data visualization and financial modeling.
  • Building clean, responsive frontends that allow our team to input and analyze pricing assumptions.
  • Connecting web interfaces to backend databases to ensure real time updates of project metrics.
  • Troubleshooting technical issues within our proprietary toolset to minimize friction for the advisory team.
  • Collaborating with senior principals to understand the specific logic required for each financial project.
  • Documenting code and processes to ensure that tools remain maintainable as projects scale.
  • Assisting with the technical centralization of data for our current logistics sector engagements.
  • Participating in code reviews to maintain high standards of logic and security.

Requirements

  • A foundational understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Basic familiarity with at least one modern frontend framework or a backend language like Python or Node.js.
  • A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent project experience.
  • A strong interest in how data is structured and how it influences financial decision making.
  • The ability to work independently in a fully remote setting while staying aligned with team goals.
  • Attention to detail and a skeptical eye for errors in logic or data display.
  • Effective communication skills to explain technical constraints to non-technical colleagues.
  • Comfort working with version control systems like Git., Blue Oak Consulting operates on the principle that decisions should be based on hard numbers rather than comfortable narratives. Our team members are expected to be curious, honest, and willing to challenge the status quo when the data does not add up. As a Junior Web Developer, you will be a vital part of the infrastructure that allows this interrogation to happen. We value discipline and the ability to find simple solutions to complex problems, ensuring that our technical tools are as rigorous as our financial analysis.

Benefits & conditions

  • A permanent, full-time position that is fully remote, offering flexibility in how you manage your day.
  • Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry level professional in today’s market.
  • Direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to learn the mechanics of high level financial advisory.
  • A work environment that values plain language and clear results over corporate fluff.
  • The chance to work on high stakes projects with tangible real world consequences.
  • Regular opportunities for technical training and mentorship as you build your skills.
