Who we're looking for:

As a Senior Software Engineer, you are an experienced software engineer excited about building innovative next- social good platforms to empower nonprofits to do their world-changing work. You are someone who cares about code quality and craft but also has an intrinsic motivation to deliver value to the customer and knows how to balance both. Ideally, you are a full-stack engineer who can demonstrate a general knowledge of various technologies and how those should be applied in multiple scenarios when designing features or systems.

Part of the job requires good communication and organizational skills. You should be able to translate ideas and requirements into deliverable work units. You can collaborate with technical and non-technical audiences and always strive to improve yourself and those around you. You believe everyone has something to contribute, value and inclusion, and enjoy mentoring others to help them grow.

In this role, you “own” the technical quality, execution, and delivery of user stories.

What you’ll do:

• Bring your software and full-stack experience to collaborate with a close-knit engineering team building social good platforms.
• Responsible for the writing and testing code and infrastructure that produces the application.
• Work closely with members of your team to ensure design and implementation meet product needs.
• Help architect, design, and implement reusable, well-tested software components.
• Proactively review the code of others, providing feedback on design and implementation choices.
• Collaborate with other engineers and subject matter experts early and often throughout development to ensure sound architecture design decisions, provide a delightful customer experience, and raise money for charities that impact the world.
• Follow code standards and best practices for their given platform.
• Work with Product Owners and UX/Designers to ensure complete and proper implementation.
• Ensure the security, integrity and resilience of the application.

Our Ideal Candidate has:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Experience with our client-side tech stack: Typescript, SASS, Web Components, Shopify
• Experience with our server-side tech stack: Typescript, DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Serverless Framework.
• Experience designing and building products or major features from concept to launch.
• Experience with unit and end-to-end testing (e.g. Jest).
• Comfortable operating in environments subject to regulatory, compliance, and risk-based security requirements.
• Effective communicator in teams of technical and non-technical individuals (product, marketing, subject matter experts, etc.).
• Engage engineers to support a culture of collaboration and inclusion through mentorship, respectful code review, and dedication to quality.
• You are excited to share and learn from your teammates about crafting fantastic user experiences.
• You are passionate about voicing your opinions and can be humble in receiving feedback.
• You have a track record of trying and learning new things and are unafraid to learn through failures.

Don’t quite meet all the above requirements? Apply anyway! We love talking to exceptional candidates. If the current role isn’t a fit, we’ll keep your information on file for the future.

What we can offer you:

• 30 days annual leave (+ bank holidays!)
• Private medical and dental insurance
• 9% employer pension contributions, when you contribute at least 2%
• Individual learning and development budgets
• Enhanced family leave policies
