We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help shape GC Gift Officer, a product that helps professional fundraisers, student programs, and AI agents at schools manage donor relationships and raise more money for education. Used by a rapidly growing number of schools, it combines substantial technical depth with a product direction thats still evolving. Our small, autonomous business unit operates with the urgency and adaptability of an early-stage startup as we work toward product-market fit.

You'll help determine what we build and take responsibility for making it work.

Your work might involve building a full-stack feature, prototyping an idea, untangling a difficult production issue, or joining a customer call to understand where a workflow falls short.

We especially value startup and early-stage experience: you've worked with incomplete information, taken ownership beyond a narrowly defined role, and changed direction as you learned. You're comfortable getting deep into an existing system and resourceful about finding a path forward. You bring the judgment to know when a focused experiment will answer the question and when reliability, performance, or maintainability needs deeper investment.

This is an opportunity to influence both the software and the business it supports. You'll stay close to customers, see the results of your work, and help a small team turn early adoption into lasting product-market fit.

• Help decide what we build and why. Work with product, design, and business unit teammates to evaluate opportunities, challenge assumptions, and identify the useful next step.
• Experiment, ship, and learn quickly. Use prototypes, incremental releases, customer feedback, and usage data…
