- Proficiency with Angular (preferably Angular 15+) and TypeScript for frontend development
- Solid understanding of microservices architecture, including service discovery, inter-service communication, and distributed system patterns
- Experience with REST API design and OpenAPI/Swagger specifications
- Experience with MySQL in production environments, including schema design and query optimization
- Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes/Helm)
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment practices in Kubernetes environments
- 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
Desirable
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- 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
- Familiarity with Ginkgo testing framework for Go or Jest/Cypress for Angular applications
- Experience with code generation tools and build automation (Mage or similar tools)
- Knowledge of Helm chart development and Kubernetes deployment strategies
- Understanding of JWT-based authentication and role-based authorization systems

What the job involves
- Join a mission-driven engineering team that’s passionate about helping nonprofits drive real-world impact. As a Senior 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
- 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
