Your Mission
Join us as a Senior Software Engineer and help build the future of mission-driven giving!
We’re looking for a highly capable Senior Engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and enjoys owning complex problems end-to-end. You’ll work closely with our Head of Engineering, CEO, and cross-functional squads to design, build, and scale the core platform powering EverGive.
This isn’t a “just ship tickets” role. This is a role for someone who takes pride in architecture, delivery, and enabling the whole team to move faster. You’ll lead by example on code quality, enforce best practices, and make thoughtful technical decisions that set us up for scale. From shipping new features to refining developer workflows, you’ll help us evolve from early product-market fit into a platform trusted by charities and donors worldwide.
What you'll do:
Own end-to-end delivery of complex features and technical initiatives with minimal oversight.
Enable the team by identifying blockers, unblocking them quickly, and ensuring predictable, steady delivery.
Champion code quality by setting and enforcing modern coding standards and ensuring all code meets agreed quality levels.
Drive architectural discussions and decisions, identifying long-term risks and opportunities for the platform.
Continuously improve performance, tooling, workflows, and overall developer experience across the software lifecycle.
Document with clarity so technical knowledge is complete, accurate, and useful for internal and external stakeholders.
Enforce best practices across the team, including:
Automated testing and CI/CD pipelines
Dependency and toolchain upkeep
Codebase health and disciplined refactoring
Who you are:
5+ years professional engineering experience, ideally in a high-growth tech or start-up environment.
Proven track record in building and maintaining production systems with:
TypeScript(Node.js and/or modern frontend frameworks)
PostgreSQL
AWS services(ECS, RDS, S3)
Strong grounding in software design principles and architectural patterns.
Demonstrated ability to improve workflows, coding standards, or delivery processes.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills - you value clarity, especially in documentation and cross-team collaboration.
Passion for EverGive’s mission and curiosity about Bitcoin as a force for good.
Desired
Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK, etc).
Previous experience in a start-up or fast-paced environment.
Our Team and Way We Work
EverGive is largely hybrid‑remote - most roles work remotely and gather in London once a month.
This Senior Software Engineer is different: you’ll be on‑site in our central London workspace five days per week, to collaborate more closely with our founder/CEO and Product Manager.
