Software Engineer

The Opportunity

We are hiring Software Engineers early in their careers who want to grow with the organisation and build strong fundamentals in backend, frontend, and production systems.

This role is designed for engineers who are curious, hands-on, and willing to learn how real-world systems work. You will not be expected to operate at a senior or tech-lead level from day one. Instead, you will grow through guided ownership, mentorship, and increasing responsibility over time.

If you want to understand how software behaves in production—not just how to write code—this role is for you. You will collaborate closely with other developers, product managers, and designers to build scalable, high-quality software solutions. Your daily work will involve:

• Ensuring Data Integration with Third-Party CRMs: Develop solutions to integrate customer data seamlessly with various CRM systems.

• Enhancing Event and Fundraising Management Tools: Contribute to improving our tools for event management and fundraising, making them more effective and user-friendly.

• Working on Payment and Communication Systems: Develop and maintain systems that handle payments and facilitate communications between users.

• Maintaining High System Uptime: Be part of a team that takes pride in maintaining high system availability and reliability.

Responsibilities

1. Develop and Maintain Features: Collaborate with the engineering team to develop new features and maintain existing ones, ensuring high performance and responsiveness.

2. Code Review and Testing: Participate in code reviews, write unit tests, and conduct integration testing to ensure code quality and reliability.

3. Technical Problem Solving: Identify and resolve technical issues, leveraging your problem-solving skills to contribute to a seamless user experience.

4. Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver high-quality software that meets user needs.

5. Continuous Learning: Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices, and apply this knowledge to your work.

Good-to-Have

• Exposure to background jobs, queues, or async processing
