Role
Who you are
- Strong Frontend Engineering Skills: Deep expertise in modern frontend frameworks (Ember.js is a significant plus, but we value strong experience in React or Vue as well)
- Familiarity with Modern API Patterns: A strong understanding of modern API standards (e.g., JSON:API), pagination strategies, and complex query builders
- Experience with complex refactors: You've contributed meaningfully to large refactors or migrations, and you understand the patience, coordination, and attention to detail that kind of work requires
- Communication & Influence: Exceptional ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and drive consensus across disparate teams
- Genuine Curiosity: You're the kind of person who wants to understand why something works the way it does, not just how to use it. You dig into problems, ask good questions, and aren't satisfied with surface-level answers
What the job involves
- As Optro continues to scale its enterprise ecosystem, we are seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to join our Web Frameworks team
- You will have an opportunity to rethink how our frontend communicates with backend services — ensuring data flows reliably and efficiently at scale
- Your work will directly improve the functionality, security, and responsiveness of the platform, and will unlock new capabilities for our largest customers
- This is a great opportunity if you're the kind of engineer who wants to go beyond just writing code
- You'll have real influence on how a critical part of our product evolves, you'll work closely with experienced engineers who'll invest in your growth, and you'll be in an environment where speaking up and thinking broadly is genuinely valued — not just encouraged on paper
- Optimize Data Access: Work with a team to design solutions and execute on cross-team initiatives to modernize complex UI components and leverage high-performance paginated query APIs
- System Collaboration: Partner closely with Platform, Architecture, and Product teams to align on migration roadmaps and technical execution. Stay aware of what's happening across the engineering organization. Understand how your work connects to and affects other teams, and factor that into your approach
- Technical Leadership: Become a subject matter expert on frontend API access patterns; participate in deep-dive code reviews and provide constructive feedback for continuously improving our API endpoints and frontend integration
- Mentorship: Scale your impact by mentoring engineers, documenting best practices, and helping to define agentic coding standards to streamline frontend modernization while maintaining code quality and stability
- Risk Management: Proactively identify technical debt and migration risks, providing accurate estimations and clear communication to stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle
Application process
- Please note that background checks are required
Our take
Optro (formerly AuditBoard) provides risk and compliance software for large businesses. The company's founders spent years working at the Big Four and other global enterprises, and realized that many audit activities were still taking place in Excel sheets, or using legacy software like IBM's OpenPages, which hadn't kept up to date with the latest reporting requirements.
The result was an end-to-end platform for managing risk, helping enterprises to streamline internal audit, SOX compliance, controls management, risk management, and security compliance. It's a top-rated cloud-based platform and has won numerous awards, with the company being consistently named the market leader in Audit Management.
Now Optro is focused on expanding its AI-powered GRC platform. Following its rebrand from AuditBoard, the company acquired AI-native SOX automation platform Midship to help audit teams automate repetitive work and focus more on strategic risk analysis. And impressively, more than 50% of the Fortune 500 now use Optro's platform as it continues building AI-driven tools for risk, compliance, and cybersecurity teams.
