Job description

Chariot Labs Engineer

Job Description

Over the past 2 years, Chariot has grown 1300% YoY. As we continue to scale from tens of thousands of nonprofits to hundreds of thousands, our systems, particularly those used by our GTM, Ops, and Compliance teams, need to evolve from manual or semi‑automated to fully automated, well‑architected and engineered. That's where this role comes in: Chariot Labs is our internal brain helping our full company adopt cutting edge software and tools that will power our next phase of growth. You will write code, build AI agents, and put together internal systems either from v1 to v100 or fully from scratch. You'll work directly with senior leadership and cross functional teams to translate strategy into automated workflows, programmatic outbound, and custom internal tools. If you want to configure simple CRM layouts all day, this is not for you. If you want to break down the question of if a CRM is even needed in the age of AI and build a prototype of what workflows might be possible without a CRM, you’re going to love this role.

The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who cares deeply about simplicity, usability, and shipping - and wants to use their skills to make a tangible impact in the world. At Chariot, you’ll have the rare opportunity to work on 0 to 1 products, contribute to a thoughtful and fast‑moving team, and shape the future of how philanthropy happens online.

About You

• Build and orchestrate a set of agents that work well and continue to improve in production
• Have built with tools like OpenClaw, Claude Managed Agents, Claude Code
• Understand and can build architecture such as Thin Harness and Fat Skills
• Have 3+ years of experience in Engineering, Growth Product Management, or technical RevOps
• Write code in Python, JS, and SQL and be comfortable with APIs
• Understand the sales funnel and the business logic behind the data you move
• Ship v1 today and iterate tomorrow
• Behave like an owner
• Based in NYC or willing to be – this is an in‑person role (with WFH Fridays)

What you’ll get from Chariot

At Chariot, we are building modern, end‑to‑end payment infrastructure making donors’ lives easier and nonprofits’ lives better. $600B gets donated to charity each year in the US and the existing technology and infrastructure was still built for our grandparents generation. We change that.

Impact: That money serves nonprofits working in homelessness, health, education, the environment, and more.

Market opportunity: Billion dollar revenue opportunity, fintech company operating in an untapped $600B market.

The Team: Over 30% of our employees are former founders. NYC office, in person Monday through Thursday, WFH Friday.
