Senior Software Engineer

at  Raisely

Raisely helps nonprofits across the world bring their fundraising ideas to life. We’re a purpose-driven remote team, spread across 7 countries and 17 cities.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to ship robust and performant JavaScript that underpins the ambitions of charity fundraisers around the world. By joining our team, you’ll not only get to deepen your software development & architecture skills but save lives, uplift climate action, and support the most vulnerable people in our society.

LOCATION

You can work from anywhere provided you can comfortably meet the following requirements:

• For this role we’re looking for someone who can comfortably cover 9am to 1pm Sydney, Australia time to ensure you have time to work closely with your team who are in APAC and the Americas.
• Realistically, that means we won’t be accepting applications from candidates in timezones between GMT+0 to GMT+5.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As part of a small team with 2 others and the support of your technical lead, you’ll be responsible in the short to medium term with helping us with integrations into other products, adding new features, paying down tech debt, adding to our test coverage, and ensuring code works well in production. Most of our code is Node on the backend (with Postgres) and React on the frontend (we’ve made a start on our TypeScript journey, but we’ve still some way to go).
In particular we’re looking for someone who leans back-end (by which we mean api’s/databases/authentication) but can pitch in across the full stack. As a senior engineer, you’re excited about the opportunity to support others in your team through positive and constructive feedback.
Raisely aims to cover all the core needs of a fundraiser. Our product covers donation processing, page builder, and marketing automation. Our engineering team has the task of balancing the need to realise our ambitions while managing increasing sophistication of our codebase.
We already facilitate millions of API requests each day, and expect that to continue growing, so you’ll be supported to write code that scales. Don’t have experience at that scale? We’d love to support your growth!
Like all roles at Raisely, you should be an excellent communicator, believe in the values behind our customer screen, and leave your ego at the door (amplifying others is one of our 3 core values).

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

Here’s some things that you might tackle in your first few months. Importantly, we’ll be here to support you along the way.

• Ensuring the oAuth connections we have with other companies are seamless and secure
• Optimise the performance of database queries associated with a new feature to ensure it’s performant and stable under high load when we release it
• Upgrading account management systems so that our customers can adopt best practices by default and focus on their mission
• Upgrading security features so our customers accounts are adopting best practices by default, allowing them to focus on what they do best
• Jump into an incident call and be willing to help out if our monitoring alerts us to high latency in our API
• Give constructive and practical feedback to your fellow engineers in PR reviews
