What are the responsibilities and job description for the Frontend Engineer (Contract) position at Osmo?
Who We Are At Osmo
Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory.
Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone. Osmo is headquartered in New York, NY, with a new facility in New Jersey, and offices in Somerville, MA.
Osmo is looking for a Front-End Engineer contractor with strong product and UX instincts to build polished, user-friendly web applications. This role requires independence, speed, and self-discipline to deliver high-quality results. While the immediate focus is on rapid execution, there’s also room to shape longer-term front-end architecture and reusable components if the engagement extends.
Key Responsibilities
Base salary is just one component of Osmo’s total rewards package, which is designed to support the well-being, growth, and long-term success of our team members. Our comprehensive package includes health, dental, and vision coverage; a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match; flexible paid time off and company holidays; and equity or incentive compensation for eligible roles. Actual compensation will vary based on factors such as experience, skills, location, internal equity, and other relevant business considerations. Osmo regularly reviews pay ranges to ensure they remain competitive, equitable, and aligned with current market data.
All employment decisions and responsibilities are determined based on current ability and your ability to grow, without regard to race, color, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, physical, mental, or sensory disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Any resume submitted by an agency in the absence of a signed agreement will automatically become the property of Osmo and Osmo will not owe any referral or other fees with respect thereto.
