Brief Job Overview

OpStart is searching for an innovative and experienced full-stack engineer to lead technology execution in line with our mission. 

Our product today is a finance department in a box for startups – we take over management of all accounting and finance tasks, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on their product and growth while OpStart keeps their books clean and compliant. Delivering this product involves a combination of manual processes, software automation, and communication with customers.
