Role
Who you are
- Technical degree (or equivalent work experience)
- 3+ years of experience in Systems Administration, Infrastructure Engineering, DevOps, Information Security or equivalent
- Experience with software development in regulated industries, and with audit requirements such as SOC2
- Experience with Cloud infrastructure (we use AWS) & related modern infrastructure components/techniques, including: cloud database/datastores (Postgres, Snowflake), multi-AZ deployments, service monitoring/logging (Datadog, Prometheus, etc), enterprise networking, container orchestration platforms (EKS)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc) & modern software development lifecycle patterns (CI/CD, version control with Git, etc)
- Highly Proficient at terminal operations / shell scripting - particularly as it pertains to Linux, AWS, Kubernetes, Git, and CI/CD (such as Github Actions)
- Experience developing tools & writing code in at least one programming language (Python, TypeScript, Golang, etc)
- Experienced with incident management and blameless postmortems
- Experience running information security tools to monitor & manage risk (such as Vanta)
- Experience administrating IT & SaaS tools for both technical and non-technical users
- Comfort with ambiguity, 80/20 solutions, and a focus on execution in a fast-paced startup environment
- Excellent communication skills and grace under pressure
What the job involves
- You will be a key member of the Platform Engineering Team, which develops the core infrastructure for building, deploying, securing, and operating our next generation software platform. We draw on Systems Administration, Security, Frontend, and Backend software development experience to accomplish this challenging mission
- We are particularly interested in systematizing and elevating our platform stability & overall security posture as our business expands. Platform Engineering will collaborate closely with members of Software Engineering & Product Management - along with technology management and business stakeholders - to remediate risk and help the business scale efficiently
- Opto is a fun and productive environment to be an engineer, and we expect you to be an active participant in company culture. We can’t get where we’re going as the “Department of No”! We need a strong leader “by example” who engages in discussions, documentation, and code review - as well as rallying other engineers to run _towards_ the fire, get your hands dirty, and get the job done
- Partner with product managers & software engineers to solve the technical challenges of building, deploying, securing, and operating our next generation software platform
- Provide “care & feeding” to software infrastructure and systems that support rapid iteration & service stability. This includes automation, maintenance, monitoring, and other administration of Opto’s core systems and business applications - and being a part of an on-call rotation (1 week shifts for 24 hour coverage)
- Develop & maintain internal tools to automate and improve the ability of Opto engineering to build and secure its products and processes
- Participate in meeting audit standards such as SOC2 - which we use as a north star to secure and monitor our network and systems, provide strong availability, and to protect customer data
Our take
For investment advisors looking to put together strong portfolios for clients, private investments represent a vast and attractive section of the market. However, these assets remain underused, with advisors having on average only 0-4% of their wealth invested in them, due in part to restricted access and lack of appropriate resources. Opto Investments enables Registered Investment Advisors to “level up” their practices, by providing access and insight into the private investment market.
Traditionally, access to private investments has been restricted to those with large teams of specialists who are able to assess the market and fill out the too-often convoluted paperwork. Opto Investment supplies a platform which combines these processes, allowing RIAs to explore the private market landscape and turn insights into actionable investments. The process is managed from start to finish, incorporating client goals throughout, with the company leading advisors from sourcing and diligence to investor servicing and reporting.
Opto Investments has already partnered with over 80 Registered Investment Advisors, and it has raised huge amounts of funding. With recent new launches and strategic partnerships secured, Opto is ready to transform how advisors approach private investments.
