Software Engineer II

About this role

Who We Are
ActBlue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating cutting-edge technology that fuels Democratic victories and enables progressive causes to thrive.


Our vision is simple: building change through the power of people. Since our founding, we’ve been building innovative solutions to revolutionize grassroots fundraising – if you’ve donated to a Democratic campaign or a progressive organization online, you’ve probably used our platform! We believe in putting power in the hands of small-dollar donors by helping thousands of groups — from local candidates to national movements — mobilize their communities and create a lasting impact. Every member of our team is deeply committed to advancing our shared mission and core values. Together, we are shaping the future of democracy.


THE OPPORTUNITY
As a Software Engineer II you will build new features that enable our platform to support traditional and emerging fundraising methods. In this role, you will work full-stack using React, TypeScript, REST, and Ruby on Rails. The work you do on this team will be seen and felt by thousands of users across the country and the world.


Our engineering and product organization is composed of empathetic and passionate people. We’re organized into cross-functional teams that operate independently in alignment with the broader organizational goals.


What You Will Do

• Implement and deliver small to medium-sized projects that span a few sprints.
• Collaborate with software engineers, product teams, and design teams to develop new features for donors and fundraising entities of all sizes.

• Design products and systems with performance in mind so all users have a great experience on our platform.
• Work across the stack using React, TypeScript, and Ruby on Rails.
• Improve platform performance ...
