Software Engineer, Integrations
Qgiv, Inc.
We pride ourselves on building a quality product that empowers its users to make the world a better place!
As a Backend Software Engineer, you’ll take business requirements and leverage Voice of Customer to help us build a world-class user experience. Collaborating with other members of the Data Team, you’ll gather requirements and implement the back-end infrastructure of new features and updates to our existing platform. When bugs in the system pop up, you’re able to dig in, debug the issue, and find a resolution that solves the root cause - and doesn’t create new ones! Whether it’s overcoming a technical hurdle or finding a solution that helps users, your passion for solving problems will help you be successful in this role.
Do you obsess over every detail? Take pride in turning ambiguous requirements into real jobs to be done? We are looking for someone who is all about solving the right problem.
Love working with and building APIs? Interested in connecting completely different pieces of software together in a performant and scalable way? You'll be building RESTful endpoints for React and integrating with third party services!
Understand that giving users access to their data in a reportable, meaningful way is extremely important? You'll be helping us in developing our next wave of client reports and dashboards giving users data that tells a story, while helping keep existing functionality running smoothly!
On the technical side, your experience in the following will also be necessary:
- Object-Oriented Programming (in PHP is a plus!)
- Familiarity with how to write performant database queries (in MySQL is a plus!)
- Familiarity with how to guard against common web application security vulnerabilities
- Creating & Consuming APIs (SOAP, REST, etc)
- Version Control (Github is a plus!)
Your experience with the following will help you stand out:
- 2 – 3 years of back-end development experience
- Unit Testing & TDD
- Integrating with 3rd party services – Salesforce & MailChimp to name a few
- Architecting solutions based on requirements & making sound technical decisions without guidance
- Writing quality code that is easy to understand and scales well (with strong opinions on why it's important)
- Developing database structures optimized for performance and scalability
- Building “right-sized” solutions that balance current limitations to meet business needs
- Continuously looking for ways to improve technical abilities and platform infrastructure
- Deeply understanding how technical decisions may affect other teams/product
- Mentoring other engineers and passionately sharing ideas about your craft
What’s in it for you?
- Join an ambitious tech company building products that help nonprofits fundraise more effectively so they can change the world
- Competitive pay
- Health, vision, dental insurance, fitness plan reimbursement, life and disability insurance, and a retirement savings plan
- A flexible paid time off policy and paid holidays
- Paid volunteer time off so you can make good things happen in your community
- 3 weeks paid parental leave (after 12 months of employment)
- Time off to vote
- The hardware you need to get the job done!
