Vice President, Engineering

At Bloomerang, we believe change happens on purpose. We champion the power and potential of nonprofits, igniting next-level impact with the team and technology built for purpose. Our powerful giving platform and stellar support enable tens of thousands of nonprofits to raise more, recruit more, and retain more, fueling maximum impact and raising the bar on what's possible for the nonprofit sector.

That's why, even as the nonprofit sector sees declines in giving, Bloomerang customers raise more year over year.

We're also in the business of creating thriving employees. Join a mission-driven culture built on our core values of Simplify, Care and Act. We know our people are the key to our success, and we're proud to be home to some of the most innovative and skilled individuals in the workforce today. Come feel invigorated and unstoppable with us!

As the Vice President of Engineering overseeing our Fundraising Product and Payments Systems, you will own the technical strategy and execution for the products that sit at the heart of how tens of thousands of nonprofit organizations raise money and process donations. Our fundraising platform powers online giving, campaign management, and donor engagement, while our unified payments systems provide reliable payment processing across the Bloomerang ecosystem.

This role demands a leader who can drive operational rigor in mission-critical payment infrastructure while accelerating innovation in AI-powered fundraising experiences. You''ll work closely with Product leadership, fellow VPs of Engineering, Head of Quality Assurance, Head of Agile Operations, and Head of Information Security to deliver secure, scalable solutions that help nonprofits raise more money, reduce friction in the giving experience, and unlock new fundraising strategies through intelligent automation and predictive insights.

We''re looking for someone who is not just comfortable with the pace of AI-driven change, but is energized by it. You should be the kind of leader who rolls up their sleeves, digs into the details, and holds teams to a high bar while creating the conditions for them to do their best work.
