Software Engineer
About the role
Come build what the market has been missing.
Octaura is a technology company transforming how some of the world’s largest, least digitized markets operate. In loans and CLOs, trillions of dollars still move through phones, emails, and PDFs because the right infrastructure hasn’t existed — until now.
We’re applying AI, real-time data, and modern software design to asset classes long overlooked by fintech. Our platforms turn fragmented information into intelligence, manual workflows into automation, and legacy conventions into scalable market infrastructure.
You’ll join a high-impact, collaborative team building the systems these markets need to become more transparent, efficient, and connected.
The role in a nutshell Octaura is building out our tech team and we’re looking for Software Engineers interested in building high performance, next generation technology that will revolutionize the loans industry.
