Responsibilities

• Own our asynchronous and background-processing infrastructure (e.g., Celery), keeping it healthy, observable, and able to keep pace with growing data volume
• Design, build, and ship net-new, revenue-driving features across the full stack — from messaging and bulk-sending capabilities to richer reporting, analytics, and email experiences
• Help reinforce and extend our move to a server-side, HTMX-based frontend, improving both developer velocity and front-end reliability
• Design, build, and maintain scalable web applications used by nonprofit organizations around the world
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand user needs and translate them into technical solutions
• Write clean, testable, and efficient code across the frontend and backend

• Provide thoughtful feedback on technology choices as we evaluate changes across our stack
• Support a culture of experimentation, iteration, and continuous delivery

• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend frameworks such as React or Vue
• Strong understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL — not just querying them, but tuning them: indexing, query optimization, and strategies for scaling (read replicas, partitioning, connection pooling, etc.)
• Experience integrating with RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs
• Solid DevOps fundamentals: CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure monitoring, and hands-on experience scaling applications under real load
• Comfort with observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) and a habit of using it to debug and prevent production issues
