The Role

The Product Engineering Team has the challenging mission of distilling complex investment concepts and operational workflows into a set of high quality and intuitive user experiences. We are a mix of frontend, backend, and fullstack specialists that collaborate with our partners in Product and Design to deliver solutions that unlock new investment opportunities for financial advisors and their clients.

Software Engineers at Opto are tasked with the challenge of turning complex business problems into elegant and pragmatic engineering solutions. We are context-driven, customer- and stakeholder-empathetic builders of tools and systems. We are end-to-end owners of engineering problems and solutions who constantly challenge one another to evolve as builders and collaborators. Oh, and we have fun along the way, because otherwise, what's the point.

Our tech stack consists of a React-based Next.js Typescript application that sits atop a Multi-Service Architecture that relies on Java Spring and Python FastAPI containerized services running in Amazon AWS. Vendor data ingestion is managed via serverless Spark-Scala transformations persisted to an S3 data lake. We strive to achieve componentization, abstraction, and separation of concerns in order that we achieve modularity, scalability, and team-level service ownership.
