IT Engineer, Backend Developer, SQL Developer

The Indiana University Foundation (IUF) is committed to advancing Indiana University by inspiring generosity, strengthening relationships, and supporting opportunities that create lasting impact for students, faculty, alumni, donors, and communities. As part of the IU advancement community, IUF helps connect people to the programs, initiatives, and ideas that move Indiana University forward.

The Indiana University Foundation is seeking an IT Engineer to build and maintain the technical infrastructure that powers its philanthropic mission.

The IT Engineer at the Indiana University Foundation keeps the systems that support the work of philanthropy running, connected, and evolving. Advancement operations depend on software that moves data reliably, integrates platforms seamlessly, and surfaces the right information when it's needed, and your work is what makes that possible.

Day to day, you will build and maintain the integrations and data pipelines that tie IUF's systems together. You design and maintain APIs, create and support ETL processes, and work across a suite of internal applications spanning CRM, commerce, and unified data platforms. Depending on the platform, you move across technology stacks including C#, Python, and JavaScript as the work demands.

You build and maintain automation workflows that streamline data processing and operational tasks, follow secure coding practices, and implement logging and error handling to keep integrations reliable, and document your work in ways that keep solutions reproducible and your team informed.

You will partner with business stakeholders to scope, build, and test solutions, participate in code reviews, contribute to a culture of quality, and bring your technical perspective into conversations with colleagues across functions and backgrounds. If you're energized by complex systems, genuinely curious about how things connect, and ready to grow your technical range in a mission-driven environment, apply today.
