<div class="content-intro"><p>GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by millions of donors and 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. At our current pace, we will facilitate $100 billion in charitable giving over the next decade–enough money to send more than 1 million students to college, tuition-free.</p> <p>GiveCampus is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, but we’re also practitioners of <a href="https://go.givecampus.com/blog/reflecting-on-7-years-of-sustainable-growth/">Sustainable Growth</a>: we’ve made the <a href="https://www.inc.com/profile/givecampus">Inc. 5000 list</a> of America's fastest-growing private companies each of the last five years and we’ve been profitable nine of the last 10. In 2025, we <a href="https://go.givecampus.com/blog/our-second-tender-offer-in-three-years-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-givecampus/">celebrated a $140 million growth investment</a> that included a major liquidity event for GiveCampus employees–the second in less than three years. </p> <p>Our purpose-driven team of 130+ is located in 30+ states across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, visit partner institutions, and host retreats in various locations. </p> <p>While we operate at meaningful scale, we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee plays a meaningful role in shaping what comes next, and we're growing the team in support of our ambitious plans–including a $100 million investment in AI product development. If you believe in the transformative power of education and want to join a fast-growing, mission-driven company, you’ll fit right in.</p> <p><br><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Location:</strong> This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year.</p></div><h2>About the team</h2> <p>At GiveCampus, we build high-impact teams that operate like a startup within the startup—nimble, empowered, and laser-focused on solving specific challenges with real urgency and measurable outcomes. This role is part of one such dedicated Business Unit (BU): a lean, entrepreneurial team pushing a brand-new product from zero to one.</p> <h2>About the role</h2> <p>We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help shape GC Gift Officer, a product that helps professional fundraisers, student programs, and AI agents at schools manage donor relationships and raise more money for education. Used by a rapidly growing number of schools, it combines substantial technical depth with a product direction that’s still evolving. Our small, autonomous business unit operates with the urgency and adaptability of an early-stage startup as we work toward product-market fit.</p> <p>You’ll help determine what we build and take responsibility for making it work. That means working closely with product, design, and customer-facing teammates to understand problems, challenge assumptions, and ship useful improvements quickly. Your work might involve building a full-stack feature, prototyping an idea, untangling a difficult production issue, or joining a customer call to understand where a workflow falls short.</p> <p>We especially value startup and early-stage experience: you’ve worked with incomplete information, taken ownership beyond a narrowly defined role, and changed direction as you learned. You’re comfortable getting deep into an existing system and resourceful about finding a path forward. You bring the judgment to know when a focused experiment will answer the question and when reliability, performance, or maintainability needs deeper investment.</p> <p>This is an opportunity to influence both the software and the business it supports. You’ll stay close to customers, see the results of your work, and help a small team turn early adoption into lasting product-market fit.</p> <h2>What you'll do</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Own problems from discovery through production.</strong> Help define the problem, shape the solution, implement and deploy it, and follow through on how it performs for customers.</li> <li><strong>Build across the stack.</strong> Deliver full-stack features and improvements, contributing wherever the problem takes you — from user interfaces and backend services to integrations, data, and infrastructure.</li> <li><strong>Help decide what we build and why.</strong> Work with product, design, and business unit teammates to evaluate opportunities, challenge assumptions, and identify the useful next step.</li> <li><strong>Experiment, ship, and learn quickly.</strong> Use prototypes, incremental releases, customer feedback, and usage data to test ideas. Adjust or retire approaches when the evidence points elsewhere.</li> <li><strong>Stay close to customers.</strong> Join customer conversations and partner with onboarding and customer success teams to understand real workflows, investigate friction, and uncover opportunities.</li> <li><strong>Evolve a complex product.</strong> Make architecture decisions, simplify existing systems, and address technical constraints that slow delivery or limit what customers can accomplish.</li> &l
