Software Engineer II, Internal Tools

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 future. 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 Software Engineer II to join our Internal Tools team.

  • Receive support from your manager to grow as an individual and increase your impact on the success of your team and the progressive movement.
  • Foster a collaborative and inclusive team culture aligned with our values.

WHAT YOU BRING:

Here is a non-exhaustive list of things we’re looking for:

  • 3+ years or equivalent of professional experience working with teams and developing web applications. 
  • Experience with either Ruby on Rails or React. Experience with both is a bonus!
  • A track record of delivering features while collaborating with product and design to resolve ambiguity and prioritize the highest impact work.
  • A demonstrated ability to write extensible, maintainable, and scalable code.
  • Expertise and willingness to find creative ways to deliver value fast, focusing on MVPs, frequent deployments, scope negotiations, and demos.
  • A strong sense of ownership and accountability; desire and interest in helping your team deliver their roadmap and achieve the strategic outcomes of the work.
  • An inclusive and empathetic working style in a remote and distributed work environment.
  • An eagerness to learn and grow your skills as an engineer for all parts of the stack.
  • A passion for software and ActBlue’s mission to build people-powered movements.
