- 5+ years of software development experience
- Software development background with expertise in JavaScript/Typescript, as well as with shell scripting (e.g., Bash) and Linux fundamentals for creating automation and kickstarting processes
- Experience with Docker and running container orchestration systems (Kubernetes preferred)
- A passion for problem-solving, a deep sense of empathy for other developers, and the drive to continuously seek improvements in processes and tools

What the job involves
- Building the local development, CI/CD, build, and test frameworks that serve as the platform for AuditBoard’s developers is critical to our rapidly-growing company’s success
- As AuditBoard continues to grow and scale up, we are looking for an experienced engineer to architect our local developer environment experience as part of our Developer Efficiency organization
- This role delivers value through improving developer productivity by streamlining our tools and environments
- Design and Build Developer Tooling: You'll create and maintain tools to automate the developer setup process, from setting up a new machine to managing fully configured environments. The goal is a single-command solution that's simple and efficient
- Ensure Idempotency: Develop solutions that can be run repeatedly without causing unintended side effects, ensuring existing developers can easily update their environments to the latest standards
- Author and Own Critical Automation: Write scripts and build automation to improve developer workflows, reducing friction and repetitive tasks throughout the development lifecycle
- Partner with Stakeholders: Work closely with the engineering teams to understand pain points, gather feedback, and continuously improve the developer experience
Our take
Optro provides risk and compliance software for large businesses. The company's founders spent years working at the Big Four and other global enterprises, and realised 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.
The company's current client list of 2000+ includes Boeing, Activision, and Priceline, and nearly half of the Fortune 500. It continues to experience rapid customer growth, with revenues exceeding $100 million and a 60% annual growth rate. The company has been ranked as one of the fastest-growing tech companies in North America for the last three years in a row, and was acquired by private equity firm Hg in 2024 for a reported $3 billion.
