Senior DevOps Engineer

Give Campus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non‑profit educational institutions. Trusted by 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K‑12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. We received a seed investment from Y Combinator in 2015 and have pursued a strategy of ‘Sustainable Growth’ ever since: achieving six consecutive years of profitability and positive cash‑flow while more than quadrupling our revenue, our customer base, and our team.

In 2022, we raised $50 million to accelerate the next stage of our growth.

Through The Give Campus Social Mobility Initiative, we’ve donated $1 million in free fundraising support for programs that help low‑income students, first‑generation students, and underrepresented minorities. And in 2022 and 2023, we were named to Y Combinator’s Top Companies list and the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest‑growing private companies.

While we operate at meaningful scale (we’ve facilitated more than $6 billion in charitable giving), we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every Give Campus employee has a substantial impact on our trajectory, and we’re growing to help schools achieve even greater results.

Our purpose‑driven team of 120+ is located across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000 sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet‑ups, events, and retreats in various locations. We’re looking to expand our team with diverse and collaborative doers who believe in our mission and the transformative power of affordable, high‑quality education.

Remote‑first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in‑person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company‑wide and team‑specific on‑sites throughout the year.

We are looking for a brilliant and energetic Senior Dev Ops Engineer to join Give Campus and help us take the platform to the next level. You will be a key member of our team, making technical decisions that will shape the company’s future. As a Senior Dev Ops Engineer you will help drive and strengthen our Dev Ops practices across the organization.

You may be a great fit if you love architecting reliable systems, solving complex infrastructure challenges, automating anything that can be automated, and building resilient pipelines that empower our teams to ship quickly and safely.
