Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join Bonterra/NGP VAN's Fundraising & Compliance Engineering team.

This role offers the opportunity to work on industry-leading applications using modern technologies including ASP.NET, ReactJS, SQL Server, Azure, AWS, Redis, ElasticSearch, and Auth0 for authentication and identity management.

• Architecture & Technical Leadership:
  • Participate in system design decisions for complex features and subsystems.
  • Propose approaches that balance performance, maintainability, scalability, and business needs.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify scope, reduce code complexity, and eliminate technical debt proactively.
• Mentorship & Code Stewardship:
  • Mentor peers through thoughtful code reviews, design collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
  • Model engineering best practices and help raise the technical bar across your team.
• Feature Ownership:
  • Design and implement features for fundraising, compliance, and election readiness workflows.
  • Develop and maintain third-party integrations.
  • Deliver high-quality, maintainable code that meets performance, security, and scalability standards.
• AI-Assisted Development:
  • Apply AI coding tools independently to accelerate complex work.
  • Write clear, well-defined specs that enable effective AI-assisted development and evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability.
• Cross-Team Collaboration:
  • Work with product management and cross-functional engineering teams to ensure cohesive solutions and strong alignment across the platform.

Qualifications

• Significant experience or a strong foundation in software engineering — typically 5 years.
• Solid understanding of web scalability challenges and solutions.
• Demonstrated willingness and ability to use AI coding tools to enhance your development workflow.
• Comfort working independently on complex, less-defined problems and proposing solutions.
• Experience mentoring peers and participating in architecture discussions.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• 7+ years of software development experience, or equivalent skills.
• Strong JavaScript skills, especially with ReactJS.
• Proficiency in C# and ASP.NET.
• Experience working with SQL Server; candidates with deeper experience in performance tuning or query optimization are encouraged to highlight that.
• Experience in political software, campaign technology, or election readiness.
• Hands-on experience with Azure, Redis, and ElasticSearch.
• Experience with AWS cloud services.
• Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered product features.
• Experience with third-party API integrations.

Benefits

• Join a diverse, inclusive organization that celebrates each individual's unique background and expertise.
