Job description

The Role

As a Senior Engineer, you'll join our Platform Engineering team focusing on improving how engineers at Bloomerang build and ship software. You'll tackle friction points across the development lifecycle – some through hands-on engineering work, others by building relationships and driving change across the organization. This role is equal parts building things and changing hearts and minds.

What You Will Do

• Identify and address friction points across the software development lifecycle - whether that means building tooling, improving infrastructure, evaluating external solutions, or streamlining existing workflows
• Drive adoption of developer experience improvements across engineering teams, meeting people where they are
• Build relationships with engineering teams and leaders to understand pain points and establish trust
• Work directly with teams to pilot, validate, and refine new tools and practices in real development settings
• Partner with anyone who can benefit - engineers, product managers, QA - to enable better ways of working
• Take initiative on problems that don\'t have clear owners, even when that means challenging the status quo
• Actively experiment with AI-powered development tools and help teams integrate them where it makes sense
• Use data to identify bottlenecks and validate that improvements are actually working

What You Need to Succeed

• Significant experience in software engineering, with a track record of improving how teams work.
• Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle and what actually slows developers down.
• Systems-level thinking - you see patterns across teams and optimize for the broader engineering organization, not just individual requests.
• Excel at building trust with skeptics and influencing without authority.
• A bias toward action: you\'d rather fix something imperfectly than study it perfectly.
• Comfortable leading through and bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces.
• Experience working with GitHub Actions.
• Enthusiasm for AI-assisted development and a desire to stay current with emerging tools.
• Passion for helping nonprofits achieve greater impact through better technology.
• Familiarity with Claude Code and/or prompt engineering using AI or LLM tools.

Benefits

Health + Wellness: You\'ll have access to generous health, vision, and dental insurance options as well as HealthiestYou, a healthcare service that offers convenient, confidential access to quality doctors 24/7, anytime, anywhere.

Time Off: You\'ll get a competitive PTO package that includes 20 PTO days, 3 flex days, 4 optional volunteer days, 12 paid holidays, as well as paid parental leave. More is more!

401k: You\'ll receive a 401k match to help invest in your future.

Equipment: Everything you need to be successful, shipped right to your door. You got this. We got you.

Compensation: The salary range for this position is $110,000 - $155,000. You may also be eligible for a discretionary bonus. Actual compensation within the range will be dependent on your skills, experience, qualifications, and location, as well as applicable employment laws.

Location: This is a permanent, full-time, fully remote position (within the U.S. and select Canadian Provinces only). Employees living in Indianapolis, IN are welcome to work from our company headquarters. We do not offer Visa sponsorship or relocation assistance at this time.
