Lead Software Engineer

Join a mission-driven engineering team that's passionate about helping nonprofits drive real-world impact. As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful software, leverage cutting-edge tools including AI, and work alongside a collaborative team that values creativity, autonomy, and continuous growth.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain reliable microservices within a large-scale distributed architecture using Go for backend APIs and Angular for frontend applications.
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs with OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, ensuring robust service-to-service communication and integration.
• Build scalable Angular UI applications and contribute to shared component libraries that support high-quality, consistent user experiences across the platform.
• Work within a microservices ecosystem where each service is independently deployable, using Kubernetes/Helm for orchestration and deployment.
• Implement comprehensive testing strategies using Ginkgo for Go services (unit, integration, smoke tests) and Jest/Cypress for Angular applications.
• Take ownership of complex technical challenges across the full stack, making architectural decisions that span multiple microservices, and contribute to the full software lifecycle - from sprint planning and ticket refinement to implementation, peer reviews, and demos.
• Drive technical initiatives and influence technical direction across the platform, evaluating tradeoffs and introducing improvements that benefit multiple teams.
• Use AI as a force multiplier. Experiment with LLMs, agentic tools, and AI-integrated features to accelerate development, streamline workflows, and create smarter user experiences.
• Embrace change as a catalyst for continuous improvement and team efficiency.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, QA engineers, and other developers to build intuitive features that meet user needs and align with our mission.
• Lead and mentor junior and mid-level engineers through thoughtful code reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance. Model best practices and contribute to a collaborative, inclusive engineering culture.

• Experience with comprehensive testing frameworks (unit, integration, and e2e testing).
• Comfortable working in AWS or similar cloud environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to evaluate tradeoffs and make thoughtful implementation decisions that affect multiple services in a distributed system context.
• Enthusiastic about learning and leveraging AI tools to improve development efficiency and product capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in large-scale microservices environments (50+ services).
• Track record of driving technical initiatives or improvements across teams.
• Experience mentoring junior and mid-level engineers and helping them grow their skills.
• Experience with system design and making technical decisions in complex distributed environments.
• Ability to evaluate and introduce new technologies, patterns, and tools to improve the development stack.
