[Remote] Senior Software Engineer, Online Giving

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. GiveCampus is a fundraising platform for nonprofit educational institutions. The Senior Software Engineer will help lead the Online Giving team by building and maintaining donor-facing giving experiences, payment flows, and administrative tools, while owning projects end to end and mentoring other engineers.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain donor-facing giving forms, giving pages, and admin tools with a focus on conversion, accessibility, and mobile-first design
• Build and harden payment flows—one-time, recurring, and memberships—across Stripe, ACH, and Digital Wallets, with strong reliability and observability
• Work across the full stack, from UI components to backend services to database tuning and performance
• Own projects end to end: architecture, coding, automated testing, deployment, and support in production
• Partner closely with your pod's Product Manager, Designer, and fellow engineers to turn user needs and business goals into technical solutions
• Mentor engineers earlier in their careers and help them grow in their craft
• Contribute to team-wide initiatives including coding standards, technical debt refinement, and system security monitoring
• Participate in interviewing and onboarding, and help us keep improving how we hire
• Support the platform on a rotational basis, including team-based support and a paired 24/7 on-call rotation. Support work includes payment and deposit reconciliation, recurring-gift issues, reporting fixes, and partner configuration requests

Skills

• * 6+ years of hands-on, real-world development experience
• * Full-stack proficiency: a modern front-end framework (React or Vue.js) plus a backend language and framework (Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Python, or similar)
• * System design experience, with a focus on solutions that can be implemented incrementally while keeping an eye on scale and resilience
• * Strong SQL database skills: schema design, query optimization, and a real concern for data integrity
• * API design and integration experience with RESTful services
• * A test-driven mindset: unit, integration, and end-to-end testing as part of how you build
• * Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar) and CI/CD pipelines
• * Sharp debugging instincts, including in production, and the judgment to balance shipping quickly against long-term maintainability
• * Clear communication, comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities, and genuine ownership from conception through deployment and maintenance
• * A user-focused mindset: you think about how engineering decisions land for donors, school administrators, and fundraising results
• Location: This is a remote-first role based in the U.S
• Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year
• * Payments experience: Stripe or a comparable platform, ACH, digital wallets, webhooks, idempotency and retries, reconciliation, and testing against third-party services. This is the single strongest signal for this team
• * Deep expertise with Ruby on Rails and RSpec
• * Experience building high-conversion, consumer-facing checkout or donation flows
• * Experience on a fundraising, crowdfunding, fintech, or e-commerce product
• * Postgres administration experience, or familiarity with caching, networking, and triaging performance and stability issues
• * Experience shipping code that supports tens of thousands of users, including enterprise customers
• * A good eye for intuitive, user-friendly front-end design
