Senior Software Engineer
WHO WE ARE:
ActBlue is a nonprofit that builds tech and infrastructure for Democratic campaigns, progressive-aligned causes, and people trying to make an impact in order to fuel long-term, people-powered change. If you've ever given online to a Democrat or progressive organization, chances are you've used our powerful online fundraising platform. We put power in the hands of small-dollar donors and help thousands of groups -- from presidential candidates to environmental organizations -- build grassroots movements. We envision a democracy where everyone looking to make progressive people-powered change can easily and effectively deploy their resources, energy, and creativity to shape our country and futures. Each and every one of us, from the political activists to the tech innovators to the customer service pros, is fully committed to our mission. THE OPPORTUNITY:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join ActBlue and help us shape the growth of our platform. Our engineering and product organization is made up of 65
people (and growing!), and we are organized into cross-functional teams of 3-6 people with clear areas of product focus. We work with Ruby on Rails, Postgres, React, Typescript, GraphQL, and other technologies. In this role, you will be joining one of our product development teams and partnering with Product, User Experience, and the other product development teams. Together you will build accessible, scalable, and insightful tools that empower progressive supporters as well as the campaigns and causes they champion to foster long-term relationships. WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Work with your team to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable features across several applications used by campaigns, causes, and their supporters Guide the architecture and execution of technical solutions that prioritize the highest impact opportunities while balancing effort, scope, and other trade-offs Advocate for progressive supporters and encourage a people-focused engineering mentality when working cross-functionally Collaboratively design and champion best practices and design patterns to improve the maintainability of the platform Demonstrate technical leadership through writing documentation, establishing effective monitoring, and fostering clear and audience-oriented communication Coach and mentor other engineers on your team and create spaces for individuals to be engaged, valued, and heard Receive support from your manager to grow as an individual and increase your impact on the success of your team and the progressive movement WHAT YOU BRING:
Here is a non-exhaustive list of things we're looking for:
Significant experience developing server-side web applications. Experience with Ruby on Rails and React is a bonus A track record of delivering features that require collaborating with product and design to resolve ambiguity and prioritize the highest impact work An inclusive and generous working style Excitement for the learning and growth of yourself and your teammates An understanding of performance, scalability, and security concerns OUR ENGINEERING VALUES:
We believe that ideas are more important than technologies. We understand that the tools we build have real-world consequences for millions of people and take that responsibility seriously. We know that code isn't just a set of instructions for machines, but communication with other humans; style, elegance, and respect are important. We believe that an ability to balance paying off technical debt and rapidly completing a project contributes to the health of the codebase, engineering team, and organization. We believe that being correct isn't enough; respect for your colleagues and users is fundamental. LOCATION AND COMPENSATION:
