The Opportunity: Building the future of Non-Profit Technology

As a Software Engineer at Neon One, you won’t just be writing code, you’ll play a key role in building and evolving our modern nonprofit platform. You’ll primarily work on developing scalable, high-performance applications using Node.js, Vue Micro Front-Ends, and AWS within a service-oriented architecture. As we continue modernizing our ecosystem, you’ll collaborate with senior engineers to deliver modular, serverless solutions while contributing to a cohesive and scalable platform experience. Exposure to our legacy PHP/Laravel systems may be part of your growth path, but your primary focus will be on modern JavaScript-based services and front-end architecture. This person will be reporting into the Engineering Manager on the Greenfield team.
