Trusted by millions of donors and 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. At our current pace, we will facilitate $100 billion in charitable giving over the next decade–enough money to send more than 1 million students to college, tuition-free. GiveCampus is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, but we’re also practitioners of [Sustainable Growth](https://go.givecampus.com/blog/reflecting-on-7-years-of-sustainable-growth/): we’ve made the [Inc. 5000 list](https://www.inc.com/profile/givecampus) of America's fastest-growing private companies each of the last five years and we’ve been profitable nine of the last 10. In 2025, we [celebrated a $140 million growth investment](https://go.givecampus.com/blog/our-second-tender-offer-in-three-years-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-givecampus/) that included a major liquidity event for GiveCampus employees–the second in less than three years. Our purpose-driven team of 130+ is located in 30+ states across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, visit partner institutions, and host retreats in various locations. While we operate at meaningful scale, we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee plays a meaningful role in shaping what comes next, and we're growing the team in support of our ambitious plans–including a $100 million investment in AI product development. If you believe in the transformative power of education and want to join a fast-growing, mission-driven company, you’ll fit right in. Location: This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year. ## About the role We're looking for brilliant, energetic software engineers to help us take the GiveCampus platform to the next level. You'll make technical decisions that shape what we build, ship features that fundraisers use every day, and see the impact of your work in the money schools raise. We hire engineers at a range of levels, from mid-level through senior, and we'll work with you to find the pod where your strengths and interests land. Whatever the level, the expectation is the same: you love to brainstorm, write code, create new features, and own what you ship. We're a fully remote workforce, so this role is open anywhere in the United States. ## What you'll do - Work across the full stack, from UI elements to backend services—including database tuning and performance. - Build features from start to finish and back end to front end, covering architecture design, coding, automated testing, and supporting each implementation in production. - Iterate quickly and adapt, working closely with your teammates in a fast-paced, agile environment—both within your pod and across Engineering as a whole. - Tackle a wide variety of technical issues throughout our stack and contribute to every part of the code base and our shared documentation. - Contribute to team-wide initiatives including coding standards, technical debt refinement, and system security monitoring. - Share what you know—through code review, pairing, and mentoring engineers earlier in their careers. - Participate in interviewing and onboarding new teammates, and help us refine how we interview. - Support the platform on a rotational basis (team-based support and a paired 24/7 on-call rotation). Where this role can grow As you build depth in our stack, there's an opportunity to take on a Tech Lead role, which includes: - Working closely with the PM on implementation tradeoffs and work breakdown for new projects. - Proposing, refining, and validating the technical implementation for a pod's roadmap work. - Assisting the PM with schedules and milestones, and holding accountability for the pod shipping. - Helping other engineers on the team grow in their craft. ## What we're looking for - Three or more years of hands-on, professional development experience. More senior candidates will bring correspondingly more scope and ownership. - Functional, real-world programming experience (vs. theoretical) in one of the following: Ruby, Python, or JavaScript/Node.js. - Experience with MVC frameworks such as Rails, Django, or Pyramid. - The ability to hold your own on the front end and the back end. - Experience with modern front-end frameworks like React and Vue.js. - SQL database experience (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite). - Experience with deployments to Heroku, AWS, or similar. - Good judgment about balancing swift delivery against long-term code maintainability. - Clear, proactive communication—you ask questions early and share progress often. ## Nice to have - System design experience, with a focus on architecting solutions that can be implemented incrementally while keeping an eye toward scale and resilience. - Deep expertise with Ruby/Ruby on Rails and RSpec. - Experience with Postgres database administration. - Shipped code that has supported tens of thousands of users, including enterprise and business customers. - Operations experience and how it pertains to site reliability and speed. - Familiarity with networking, caching, and databases, and how to triage performance and stability issues. - Experience working on a fundraising or crowdfunding platform. - Experience working on a fintech or payments technology product. - A good eye for intuitive, user-friendly front-end design. ## What you'll get - Real ownership of production work, with the support and code review to back it up. - A say in the technical decisions that shape the platform, not just the tickets that come out of them. - A fully remote team that's built for remote work, not retrofitted for it. - The chance to help schools raise money that changes students' lives.
