Job description

This hybrid role requires working from our London office in Fitzrovia once a week.

If you've been looking to join a fast-growing startup backed by the same investors as Stripe & Airbnb, with a mission to make a positive impact, then you’ve found the right place!

Our Mission

Our mission at Goodstack is to revolutionise how the world does good.

We empower companies to seamlessly integrate positive impact into their operations through a unified platform, supporting nonprofits with cutting-edge technology and new funding streams.

Global brands like LinkedIn, HSBC, OpenAI, Atlassian, and Twilio, along with nonprofits such as the Red Cross, Cancer Research, and Oxfam, use Goodstack to make a difference.

We are experiencing rapid growth. In 2024, we facilitated $3 billion in donations. Our goal is to become the world's leading platform for donations to nonprofits, and we need talented people to join us on this journey — we need you!

Join our Startup as a Software Engineer and make a difference!

You will be part of our Giving Team, working on APIs and user experiences to expand our donation and volunteering platform. You will be part of an autonomous, cross-functional team making decisions aligned with business objectives, reporting directly to the Engineering Manager.

Your mission as a Software Engineer will include:

• Implementing and enhancing front-end (and back-end if full-stack) components to improve our platform's user experience.
• Contributing to establishing best practices and technical standards.
• Writing code, planning, and participating in product delivery.

Success after 3 months will look like:

• Getting to know your teammates and feeling comfortable in your environment.
• Understanding the donations & volunteering product and proposing enhancements.
• Gaining deep knowledge of our platform architecture and suggesting engineering improvements.
• Finding the office's free sock merch.

This role is a good fit if you have:

• 3+ years of experience building APIs on top of databases (Postgres).
• Knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript.
• Experience developing web apps using React (full-stack).
• Experience with secure, scalable, resilient systems.
• Monitoring, CI, and automated testing experience.
• Strong understanding of front-end and back-end architectures.
• Motivation to contribute to a product and vision.
• Some DevOps experience (AWS, CI/CD, ECS, Docker, Terraform).
• Familiarity with agile development and continuous deployment.
• Knowledge of automated testing methods.
• Product-focused mindset.

Required skills and motivation include:

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across teams.
• Drive to build a world-class product and vision.
• Data-driven problem-solving skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Bias for action and ownership of problems.
• Pragmatic approach considering short, mid, and long-term solutions.

Bonus, but not required, skills include:

• Experience in startups, fast-paced decision-making, and scaling.
• DevOps experience (Docker, AWS, Terraform).
• Knowledge of domain-driven design.
• Tea drinking enthusiasts.

What to Expect When Joining
