Job description

Instrumentl is growing our team! We’re a profitable, YC-backed startup with over 2,700 nonprofit clients, from local homeless shelters to larger organizations like the San Diego Zoo. We are building the future of fundraising automation, helping nonprofits to discover, track and manage grants efficiently through our SaaS platform.

We are hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help us build the right product for our customers quickly and strategically, while maintaining high code quality and standards.

Work side-by-side with our product and content teams to improve internal tools and processes, ensuring that our best-in-class product retains its crown.
Own problems from end to end, managing complexity and engaging directly with stakeholders to develop short-term and long-term solutions.
Be a strategic partner, thinking through everything from business impact to reliability and operability, to the pixel-perfection of individual customer interactions.
Uphold Instrumentl’s high standards for product quality and mentor newer team members to do the same.
