Who We Are

Opternative is a technology company that helps people see better. We started Opternative to provide a safe, online option for getting prescriptions between eye exams. It's a win-win for the patients we serve: eyes stay healthy; people see clearly.

Our technology connects doctors and patients in new ways and we're looking for more than just skilled and talented individuals. We are looking for outliers and non-traditional thinkers because the Opternative Online Vision Test is anything but traditional.

Our success is built upon Trust, Resilience, Empathy, Communication, and Common Goals. We put "health before wealth" and always strive to work in a manner that would "make mom proud".

Also, you'll contribute to high-level strategic decisions with the rest of the Product and management teams.

  • A keen eye for UI/UX and high visual standards
  • You have a passion for learning and always improving yourself and the team around you
  • Start-up/entrepreneurial experience

Bonus If You Have It

  • Experience with native mobile development (Java, Objective-C)
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails and unit testing
  • Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL

  • Free eye prescriptions from the Opternative system
  • CTA pass reimbursement
  • Discounted gym membership

  • Flexible vacation and work from home policy (work hard and take time when you need it)
