Remote Senior Backend Software Engineer

How to apply Include a maximum 2-minute loom video (free) describing why you think you're a good fit for the role as your answer to the applicant question 'what interests you about this role?'.

About WeGive WeGive is a 5-year-old SaaS fundraising platform serving nonprofit organizations with branded domain solutions and deep CRM integrations. We're a small, impactful team building technology that helps nonprofits, mostly christian ministries, raise more money and manage donor relationships effectively.

The Role We're looking for a senior backend engineer who can own problems end-to-end and work independently. This isn't a role where you'll receive detailed specifications—you'll be expected to understand business requirements, propose solutions, scope your own work realistically, and deliver quality code with minimal oversight.

As a growing startup, we need engineers who can take ownership of entire problem domains, work autonomously, and drive solutions forward without constant direction.

We’re looking for a developer who ships — not just someone who writes great code.

At WeGive, the difference between a good engineer and a great one isn’t syntax or style; it’s the ability to deliver working features that users actually use and love. You’ll be responsible for building clean, maintainable systems and getting them into production quickly and reliably.

You should be comfortable balancing quality and speed, understanding tradeoffs, and iterating toward better solutions instead of waiting for perfect ones. You’ll think in terms of business impact and user outcomes, not just technical purity.

The best developers on our team: • Ship working versions early and improve them. • Think about the user experience, not just the architecture. • Communicate tradeoffs clearly and make pragmatic calls. • Document what matters and help others move faster.

If you can consistently take an idea from concept to production — cleanly, thoughtfully, and fast — you’ll thrive here.

The Team You'll be joining a small, focused engineering team at a remote-first startup. We value self-direction, clear communication, and taking ownership of your work. The team handles everything from new feature development to production support to customer data migrations, and everyone is expected to contribute across the stack as needed.
