Our proprietary scripting engine, web forms and custom-built reporting enable clients to successfully conduct large-scale fundraising campaigns with accuracy and creativity.

About the Role

We're looking for a full stack developer to join our small, fast-moving engineering team. You'll work across our Lucee (CFML) backend and Angular frontend, building and maintaining the platforms our business runs on. This isn't a role where you'll be siloed into tickets. You'll collaborate directly on design decisions, contribute to architecture, and have real input on how we build and improve our systems. You'll also be expected to use AI tools as part of your daily workflow for coding, debugging, documentation, and problem-solving. We're not looking for an AI researcher. We want someone who knows how to leverage these tools to ship better work, faster.

What will you do?

• Build and maintain features across our Lucee/CFML backend and Angular frontend
• Collaborate with the team on design and architecture decisions, from feature scoping through implementation
• Design and consume REST APIs, including integrations with third-party platforms (payment processors, CRMs, marketing tools, etc.)
• Write clean, maintainable SQL against SQL Server
• Troubleshoot production issues and own them through to resolution
• Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and roadmap planning
• Write clear documentation and well-scoped tickets
• Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) effectively as part of your development workflow
  

What does it take?

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years as a full stack developer in a production environment
• Strong proficiency with Angular (v12+)
• Experience with Lucee, ColdFusion (CFML), or a similar server-side language. Candidates without CFML experience should demonstrate a track record of picking up new languages quickly.
• Solid SQL Server skills, including joins, indexes, query optimization, and stored procedures
• Experience integrating with third-party REST APIs
• Comfortable with Git and standard branching workflows
• Demonstrated use of AI coding assistants in your day-to-day work, with the judgment to know when to trust the output and when not to
• Ability to collaborate on design. Comfortable whiteboarding, discussing tradeoffs, and pushing back when something doesn't make sense.
  

Additional Skills given Priority

• Experience with GitHub (Actions, PR workflows, project boards)
• Experience with Jira and Agile/Scrum workflows
• Experience with payment processors (Stripe, CyberSource, Paya, or similar)
• Experience with Microsoft 365, Blackbaud SKY API, or Mailchimp APIs
• Background in call center, fundraising, or donation processing platforms
• Experience working with distributed or global teams
