Technical Project Manager

New York

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.
