Opto Investments
San Francisco, California
About Opto Opto is engineering the future of private markets to improve client outcomes and drive capital to the most transformative ideas. The opportunity is huge. The global alternative investments industry was worth an estimated $16.8T at the end of 2023, and is forecast to grow to $29.2T by 2029. However the private investment process typically remains opaque, highly manual, and error prone, which limits access to the select few insiders who are willing to bear the pain. Opto is a revolutionary end to end solution for wealth managers of any size-from small investment advisors to large multi family offices to private banks-to build, fundraise for, and manage private markets programs at scale. We combine exceptional Silicon Valley engineering talent with experienced investors and industry specialists to fix this broken system through the power of technology. Our platform banishes the nightmare of slide decks, spreadsheets, and paperwork to the past, and arms our clients with the tools, data, and guidance to identify and access the right opportunities for their clients. Fixing private markets will not be easy and demands courage, but we're not afraid to do things differently. We are unapologetically bold. We value strong opinions, clear communication, and purposeful execution. Up for the challenge? Come join us. The Role 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? Check out our blog to learn more about our tech culture here. Our tech stack consists of a series of React based Next.js TypeScript applications. Behind that a collection of Aurora backed Python REST API services are hosted as containerized applications in AWS. We make use of AWS Lambda for asynchronous tasks and we rely on Snowflake for data ingestion and warehousing. Our service deployments are completely automated and execute multiple times daily. Our tech stack continues to evolve, driven by our shared principles of optimizing for modularity, scalability, and team level service ownership.
