Job Details

About the role

As part of a small team with 2 others and the support of your technical lead, you’ll be responsible in the short to medium term with helping us with integrations into other products, adding new features, paying down tech debt, adding to our test coverage, and ensuring code works well in production.  Most of our code is Node on the backend (with Postgres) and React on the frontend (we’ve made a start on our TypeScript journey, but we’ve still some way to go).

In particular we’re looking for someone who leans back-end (by which we mean api’s/databases/authentication) but can pitch in across the full stack. As a senior engineer, you’re excited about the opportunity to support others in your team through positive and constructive feedback.

Raisely aims to cover all the core needs of a fundraiser. Our product covers donation processing, page builder, and marketing automation. Our engineering team has the task of balancing the need to realise our ambitions while managing increasing sophistication of our codebase.

We already facilitate millions of API requests each day, and expect that to continue growing, so you’ll be supported to write code that scales. Don’t have experience at that scale? We’d love to support your growth!

Like all roles at Raisely, you should be an excellent communicator, believe in the values behind our customer screen, and leave your ego at the door (amplifying others is one of our 3 core values).

Hours

This is a full-time, permanent role. You’ll be expected to do 5 days/38hrs a week while you’re getting up to speed, then within 3 months will be eligible to move to 4 days/30.4hrs as part of our 4 Day Work Week policy.

Logistics

We can employ you in Australia, or engage you as a contractor with equal terms anywhere in the world.

Location

You can work from anywhere provided you can comfortably meet the following requirements:

  • For this role we’re looking for someone who can comfortably cover 9am to 1pm Sydney, Australia time to ensure you have time to work closely with your team who are in APAC and the Americas.
  • Realistically, that means we won’t be accepting applications from candidates in timezones between GMT+0 to GMT+5.

What will you be doing?

Here’s some things that you might tackle in your first few months. Importantly, we’ll be here to support you along the way.

  • Ensuring the oAuth connections we have with other companies are seamless and secure
  • Optimise the performance of database queries associated with a new feature to ensure it’s performant and stable under high load when we release it
  • Upgrading account management systems so that our customers can adopt best practices by default and focus on their mission
  • Upgrading security features so our customers accounts are adopting best practices by default, allowing them to focus on what they do best
  • Jump into an incident call and be willing to help out if our monitoring alerts us to high latency in our API
  • Give constructive and practical feedback to your fellow engineers in PR reviews

Requirements

You enjoy solving problems with code

You have high technical competence. You’re a capable engineer, you produce high quality code and consider the various permutations and edge-cases.

You’re a manager-of-one

You don’t need a manager to check in and direct your workflow, you’d prefer to work to broad expectations and manage your own time within that framework. You can identify when you need a hand, and won’t hesitate to ask.

You ship code and see it through to production

You understand that there’s a balance between writing perfect code and actually shipping code and you finish what you start. You’re happy to adjust that code in response to feedback, and prompt the team to help you see that code through to production.

You enjoy mentoring others

You have mentored other engineers in a formal or informal capacity to uplevel their technical and non-technical skills. You proactively offer feedback to others on your team in a constructive and compassionate way.

You care about making a difference

Yeah, we’re all here because we want to make the world better (and by that we mean a utopian paradise where humanity is at peace with our neighbours, nature, and ourselves and we actively support one another to thrive together). So you’ve gotta want that too!

Interview Process

We want to make this process as transparent to you as possible so that you know what to expect. We want to make sure that we are respecting your time so we’ve tried to make the interview process straightforward. Here is our current interview format

1) 30 min Phone Screen
2) 45 min Panel Interview (Culture fit + Technical Experience questions)
3) Take Home (4 hours max) with a 1 hour technical interview to go over your take home.

How to apply

You’ve gotten this far! We really want to hear from you. Instead of having you guess what we might want to see on a cover letter, the application includes some questions we’re keen to know about you. You can still include a cover letter if you wish to highlight other things not on your resume, but it is definitely not required.

We are accepting applications on a rolling basis until we find the right person.

Benefits

This ain’t no NFTs for rainforests pyramid scheme. In your first week with us, you’ll be a part of helping vetted charities raise 2.5 million dollars for everything from responding to crisis to curing cancer.

So we can make this happen, we’ve made working here different. You’d be joining a fully remote, global team of compassionate, generous experts – from engineering to sales. We’re async, avoid busywork and keep meetings to a minimum. We work 4 days a week, for full-time pay, and full-time productivity. Once you’re up to speed, a regular week here is 30.4 hours.

Working at Raisely is unique. You’ll be able to build a product that supports people working on the things that matter: health, climate justice, human rights, equality.

If you needed more convincing, here’s the rest of it:

Salary – We benchmark salaries based on similar roles in Sydney, Australia.

⏰ 4 Day Week & Flexible Hours – Working here is about getting your work done, not clocking hours. You’ll be eligible to work a 4 Day Week at full pay once you’re past onboarding. We’ll work with you to figure out hours that work with you, and we’re flexible when life gets in the way.

Technology – The usuals. We’ll get you a laptop and screen when you start, plus help you set up your home office.

✈️ ‘In-Person’ Retreats – Every 18 months or so, we fly you somewhere pretty for our team retreats. Our last one was in the Hunter Valley in NSW.

Annual Leave – Everyone gets 4 weeks paid leave plus 11 days of public holidays, to be taken when you like. Plus, you are entitled to generous paid sick leave.

Work remotely – We’re a remote-first company – live and work wherever you’re happiest. We’ll cover a coworking space if you’d like to work there.

Calm Company – ⅓ of us are parents, another ⅓ are parents to fur babies, and the other ⅓, well, they have lives too, so we strive to respect each others personal time.

Training – We’ll support you when you want to learn new skills or pay for conference or course tickets.

We know with diversity comes strength. We want Raisely to be a team of many cultures, nationalities, sexualities, gender identities, religious beliefs, abilities, and ideas. We particularly encourage Indigenous people, First Nations, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people with disabilities, or people without the economic advantage of higher education, to apply for our roles.
