Senior Software Engineer (Tech Lead)

Role Description

As a Senior Software Engineer (Technical Lead) at Bloomerang, you are the senior-most technical engineer on a delivery team and a key driver of the team's technical success. You are a hands-on engineer who writes code, solves difficult problems, shapes technical direction, and helps the team consistently deliver high-quality software for the nonprofits we serve.

This is an opportunity to help define what great engineering looks like in an AI-first world. AI is changing what individual engineers and entire teams can accomplish, and we're actively exploring how to use that leverage to build better software, automate the work around software development, and give our engineers more time to focus on the problems that matter.

You will own the technical outcomes for your team, partnering with Product, QA, and Engineering to turn ambiguous problems into practical solutions.

What You Will Do

• Own the team's technical outcomes.
• Set a high bar for code quality, reliability, maintainability, security, and technical execution.
• Lead technical direction and design within your team's domain.
• Translate product and business problems into pragmatic technical solutions.
• Mentor engineers across experience levels, providing actionable technical feedback.
• Champion AI-driven engineering and automation.
• Balance delivery with long-term technical health.
• Diagnose and resolve complex technical problems.
• Own quality end to end.

Qualifications

• Strong, recent experience building and shipping production software as a hands-on engineer.
• Deep proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript across the stack — Node.js and Express on the server, React on the front end.
• Strong experience with relational data modeling and SQL (PostgreSQL), REST API design, asynchronous programming, automated testing, and production debugging and observability.
• Experience modernizing legacy systems incrementally.
• Comfort building and operating integrations and data sync between systems.
• Ability to make pragmatic architectural decisions.
• Helpful, but not required: Experience with Java, AngularJS, Sequelize or a comparable ORM, AWS/cloud infrastructure, or CRM platforms.

Requirements

• Experience serving as the senior technical engineer or technical lead on a team.
• Ability to take an ambiguous or moderately scoped problem, develop the technical approach, and drive it through implementation and delivery.
• Strong ownership mindset regarding quality, reliability, maintainability, and long-term health of what your team ships.
• Judgment to know when to make decisions independently and when to bring in broader expertise.

Benefits

• Access to generous health, vision, and dental insurance options.
• Competitive PTO package including 20 PTO days, 3 flex days, 4 optional volunteer days, and 12 paid holidays.
• 401k match to help invest in your future.
• All necessary equipment shipped right to your door.
• Salary range of $114,800 - $191,400, with eligibility for a discretionary bonus.
• This is a permanent, full-time, fully remote position (within the U.S. and select Canadian Provinces only).
