[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @GiveCampus

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Finance & Business Systems who is excited to work deeply embedded in the business — not siloed in a traditional engineering-only org. As GiveCampus scales, we need a deeper understanding of the true cost to serve our customers — across product usage, infrastructure, payments, support, and internal operations and fixing the system to reduce friction for our customers. This role exists to sit at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, and Operations, building the systems and instrumentation that make our unit economics visible, trustworthy, and actionable.

This role is ideal for a Rails engineer who wants to apply strong technical skills in close partnership with Finance, Operations, and Engineering leadership, and who is motivated by solving real operational problems rather than working exclusively from a product roadmap. This is not a traditional product engineering role. It is a deeply business-embedded engineering role with real leverage on how the company operates and scales.

Responsibilities will include:

• Working on the full stack, from UI elements to backend services including getting into database tuning and performance.
• Iterating quickly, building new features from start to finish and back end to front end, including architecture design, coding, automated testing, and supporting each implementation in production.
• Being adaptable - working closely with and supporting your teammates in a fast-paced, agile development environment (both within your pod and across Engineering as a whole).
• Tackling a wide variety of technical issues throughout our stack and contributing to all parts of the code base and shared documentation.
• Contributing to team-wide initiatives including coding standards, tech debt refinement and system security monitoring.
• Participating in the interviewing and onboarding new team members and assisting in the refinement of our interviewing processes.
• Participating in the support of the platform on a rotational basis (team-based support and paired, on-call rotation).

What we are looking for:

• Strong experience with Ruby on Rails or another mature MVC framework (e.g., Django). System design experience with a focus on architecting solutions that can be implemented incrementally while keeping an eye towards scale and resilience.
• Comfort working across the stack, including backend services, databases, and light frontend work.
• Experience with modern front-end frameworks like React and Vue.js.
• SQL database experience (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite).
• Experience with deployments to Heroku, AWS, or similar.
• Experience balancing swift and long-term code maintainability.
• 5 plus years of hands-on development experience.
• Comfort working with financial concepts such as margins, COGS, pricing, revenue recognition, or unit economics (direct experience or strong interest).
• Experience building systems where correctness, auditability, and explainability matter.
• Ability to work with non-technical stakeholders and translate ambiguous business questions into concrete technical work.
• Ability to handle ambiguity and shaping the problem, not just the solution.

Bonus points if you have:

• Deep expertise with Ruby/Ruby on Rails and RSpec.
• Experience with Postgres database administration.
• Shipped code that has supported tens of thousands of users, including enterprise/business customers.
• Operations experience and how it pertains to site reliability/speed.
• Familiarity with networking, caching, database, and how to triage performance and stability issues.
• Experience working on a fundraising/crowdfunding platform.
• Experience working on a fintech or payments technology product.
• Experience working in a start up environment
• A good eye for intuitive, user-friendly front end design.
• Experience building internal tools or platforms used by Finance or Operations teams
