About Engineering @ Oportun

The Engineering team @ Oportun is dedicated to shipping performant, elegant, and intuitive software to our retail agents and directly to our customers. We provide the platform, software services, and interfaces that have enabled Oportun to serve over 1,000,000 customers with over $1.5 billion in life-changing, responsible loans disbursed. We work on a very unique platform, combining service-oriented platform services with sophisticated front-end user experiences, all enabled through a best-in-class (and fun to use!) automated development infrastructure. We prove that FinTech is more fun, more challenging, and in our case, more rewarding as we build technology that changes our customers’ lives.

Our Technology:

The frontend team makes use of the best tools and frameworks to deliver an exceptional experience to our retail agents. We primarily work in Javascript frameworks, making heavy use of Angular. JS/SASS/Grunt and Backbone (with require.js for dependency injection). Most of the team uses Sublime Text and Textmate in OSX, but we won’t judge you if you prefer Vim in Ubuntu. We trust you to choose the right tools for the job.
