Role Description

Engineering Manager to oversee a full‑stack engineering team and drive execution. You’ll be directly responsible for delivering world‑class fundraising features to our nonprofit users, maturing our engineering practices, and growing a team of skilled engineers. Engineers at Givebutter are hands‑on: you’ll ship code, review PRs, and stay close to production—monitoring systems, jumping into incidents, and learning how your team’s work behaves in the wild.

Why join Givebutter's Engineering team?

• Code Democracy – Every engineer has a voice. We value diverse perspectives and foster an environment for open discussion on architecture and technical ideas.
• Autonomy & Focus – Our engineers enjoy flexibility with minimal meetings and uninterrupted time to dive deep into problem‑solving.
• Seamless CI/CD – Our deployment pipelines are fully automated, enabling engineers to focus on creating impactful code rather than managing deployments.
• Mission‑Driven Work – You’ll be part of a team that supports nonprofits, charities, and organizations making a real difference around the world.

What You’ll Bring To The Team

• An execution mindset with a strong bias toward delivering and iterating.
• A product‑oriented approach with a keen eye for consistency and user impact.
• A passion for leadership and the ability to scale engineering practices in a high‑growth environment.
• Expertise in React and a readiness to work alongside the team, leading by example in the codebase.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the VP of Engineering to develop and execute the frontend engineering strategy.
• Lead, manage, and mentor a talented team of full stack engineers, driving the development of beautiful and delightful user experiences.
• Own the frontend function, setting the technical direction and ensuring alignment with company objectives.
• Bring technical expertise to the evolution of Givebutter’s software; ensure architecture and stack are optimized for growth.
• Improve internal engineering workflows, continually refining best practices.
• Champion code quality across the team and uphold a high standard for maintainable and scalable solutions.
• A passion for building beautiful, user‑friendly, and accessible web applications.
• Evaluate and apply AI and machine‑learning tools—such as LLMs, recommendation systems, or predictive analytics—to drive innovation in product development.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in frontend development with expertise in modern web technologies (e.g., React, React Native, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP/Laravel).
• At least 2+ years of experience managing a team of 5+ engineers.
• Hands‑on experience designing and building scalable, high‑quality customer‑facing software.
• Proven experience in people management, mentorship, and clear communication.
• Demonstrated success in hiring and developing remote engineering teams.
• Experience in a product‑led growth environment is a strong plus.

Benefits

• Remote Work: Work remotely from one of our 10 hubs (Austin, Denver, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Nashville).
• Health Insurance: We offer Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance covered 100% for employees as well as HSA and FSA accounts.
• Dependent Care Coverage: We offer coverage for dependents, with 50% of Medical, Dental, and Vision premiums covered for all eligible dependents.
• Mental Health: Givebutter health insurance plans come with access to a TalkSpace membership.
• 401(k): We offer a 3% 401(k) match for all eligible employee's.
• Vacation and Holidays: Givebutter offers a Flexible PTO policy with uncapped vacation days and company‑recognized holidays.
• Wellness Week: Givebutter closes for one week each summer to prioritize rest and recharge for the entire team.
• Parental Leave: We offer 12 weeks of paid leave for all parents and comprehensive leave planning management through Aidora.
• Family Care Support: Access a company‑paid UrbanSitter membership plus care credits to book trusted, background‑checked caregivers for childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support when you need it most.
• Home Office Stipend: Upgrade your home office with company‑sponsored expenses, including high‑quality laptops, monitors, and modern technology.
• Coworking Stipend: Enjoy a monthly stipend that gives you the freedom to work from coworking spaces or cafés whenever you need connection, community, or a change of scenery.
• Charitable Giving: Employees are encouraged to donate up to $50/month to any verified nonprofit they wish to support on Givebutter.
• Professional Development: We offer learning and development reimbursement opportunities.
• Love What You Do: We are a mission‑driven company serving the charitable sector. Feel good about the work you're doing and the company you work for.
