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 huge 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 what they do through a unified platform while supporting nonprofits in gaining access to cutting-edge technology and finding new funding streams.

Global brands, including LinkedIn, HSBC, OpenAI, Atlassian and Twilio - as well as thousands of nonprofits, including the Red Cross, Cancer Research, and Oxfam - use Goodstack to make a difference.

We are on a rapid growth trajectory. Just in 2024, we facilitated $3 billion in donations to good causes. But this is just the beginning. We want to become the world's leading platform that facilitates donations to the most individual nonprofits in the world. To achieve this, we need incredible people to help us on our journey - we need you ????

Join our Startup and make a difference as Senior Software Engineer (Back-end / Full-stack)!

In this role, you will be part of our Giving Team. This team implements the APIs and user experience to expand the donations & volunteering platform for our partners. You will be part of an autonomous, cross-functional product team able to make its own decisions based on the objectives set by the business. You will report directly to the Engineering Manager.

As Senior Software Engineer, your mission will be to:

• Implement and enhance back-end (and front-end if FS) components to expand the donations & volunteering platform for our partners, ensuring an exceptional user experience.
• Be involved on a highly technical level, helping establish and build best practices regarding technologies used.
• Day to day you will be expected to write code and be involved in planning, product, and delivery.
  
  

After 3 months, Success will look like:

• You will have got to know your teammates well and feel comfortable in your new surroundings.
• You will understand the donations & volunteering product and start to make suggestions about its evolution.
• Have developed a deep understanding of the app & platform architectures and continue becoming a subject matter expert, suggesting plans for engineering improvements.
• You will have found the free sock merch in the office.
  
  

This Role is a perfect match for you if you have:

Required experience:

• 5+ years of experience designing and building APIs, particularly on top of databases (we use Postgres).
• Experience designing and building web apps using React (essential for Full Stack candidates).
• Experience designing and developing secure, scalable, resilient, and observable systems.
• Good knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript (and React if you are applying for a Full Stack role).
• Knowledge of different methods of automated testing and when to apply them effectively.
• Experience with agile development methodologies and deploying to production regularly using CI/CD pipelines.
  
  

Required skills and motivation:

• Strong communication skills and a love of collaboration with other engineers, product, design, and business stakeholders.
• A strong drive and keen motivation to contribute to building a world-class product and vision.
• Strong data-driven problem-solving skills.
• Ability to thrive in the quickly evolving, fast-paced environment of a startup, adapting to change and delivering at scale and speed.
• A bias to action – when you see a problem, you step up to own it instead of waiting for someone else to solve it for you.
• When you take responsibility for problems, you consider the short, mid, and long-term solutions and take a pragmatic approach to implementing them.
  
  

Bonus, but not required, if you have knowledge or love of:

• Working in a startup environment (we value your ability to deal with and adapt to fast-paced decision-making, change and the need to deliver at scale and speed).
• DevOps experience (e.g., Docker, AWS, Terraform, ECS, CI/CD).
• Knowledge of Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
• Tea drinking ????.
