Software Engineer, Product

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? 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 containerised 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 optimising for modularity, scalability, and team‑level service ownership.
