An Insider's view of OpenFin

What are some social events your company does?

We hold weekly Zoom happy hours (which we'll hold in person when we're able), Daily "Small Hands" (15 mins where individuals across the company present on topics of interest), a yearly offsite, and regular team outings / dinners.

Mitra

Global Head of Marketing

What projects are you most excited about?

Prior to OpenFin, I worked at a big financial company for many years. OpenFin provides a totally different experience; I can see the product life cycle as a full picture. I love to see how issues I solve directly help our customers.

Li

Software Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I knew from Day 1 exactly how I would add value and what were the things I could start implementing right away. I don't think I have seen such a quick turnaround of things that started as small ideas in my head, got bumped up to someone and then rolled out to the company.

Helen

People Ops Manager

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?

We've developed the OpenFin Incubator -- a rotating group of engineers from different teams that spend 2 week sprints specifically assigned to solving some of our most challenging business problems.

Steve

CTO

What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

We are solving very interesting technical problems and you’d be really hard pressed to find another company our size that is dealing with those problems. As a person who enjoys working on and solving technical problems, we’re put in positions where we have to solve something that no one in the world is solving. We constantly experiment and learn.

Ricardo

VP of Engineering
