About the Role

As a salaried software engineer, your role will consist of building our no/low-code platform that allows organizations doing good to build a bespoke experience without bespoke software.

• Participate in code reviews.
• Work with the engineering team to help plan our technical and product roadmaps.

About You

• Not required but bonus points if have done any of the following:
• • Experience designing green-field projects from the ground up and owning major architectural decisions. Why? We believe that we can broaden our impact by building newer, better solutions to old problems and that requires thinking from first principles.
  • Experience designing infrastructure that is robust to failure and minimizes mean time to recovery.Why? We serve populations that are in dire need and often low on tech-literacy. If they have issues, they're unlikely to come back and try again.
  • Experience managing large scale web infrastructure serving hundreds of thousands of users (or more!).Why? We run the largest guaranteed income pilots in the country, scaling from 1 to 1000 requests per second over the course of minutes.
• You care deeply about the mission of direct aid and supporting anyone who needs help, no matter where they come from.

• Fair Salaries that are transparent and competitive, with a maximum ratio of 3:1 between the highest and lowest paid employees at the company.
