Software Engineer, Mobile Team

Qgiv exists to help people fulfill their passion to make a difference. Founded in 2007, Qgiv now provides thoughtfully-designed, user-friendly fundraising software to more than 6,000 nonprofits in the US and Canada. Nonprofits such as Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Junior Achievement, Humane Society's, and more use Qgiv's online fundraising tools to delight donors and raise funds for their missions.

We're guided by our core values: empathy, introspection, honesty + integrity, persistence, openness, respect, and passion. We work hard to meet deadlines and goals, but we also take time to celebrate and have fun! In the office, we enjoy game nights, potlucks, costumes, office decorating competitions, a monthly birthday cake, and more free snacks and beverages than should be allowed. For those remote, we stay connected through video and Slack, weekly coffee talks, and virtual Town Hall meetings.

We strive to create a workplace culture in which individuals can be their authentic selves while working towards our company mission. We don't search for perfect candidates; we look for candidates that are invested in helping us improve while also improving themselves.

As a Software Engineer on the Mobile team, you will help us maintain and develop new features for our events and auction software. Alongside other members of the Mobile team, you will help gather requirements, implement features for the back-end, front-end or both, while keeping an eye on updates for our existing platform. Do you love building systems and problem solving? So do we! Whether it is overcoming a technical hurdle or finding an elegant solution that helps users, your passion for solving problems and working with lots of moving parts will help you be successful in this role.

Do you get excited by a well-designed REST API? How about keeping up with the latest JavaScript MVC's? We are looking for someone who can help us continue to expand our features and functionality to make Qgiv software events a breeze. You will work closely within the team of engineers to flow between the front and back-end depending on a few factors. Have you ever participated in an online or charitable auction? If so, you might be familiar with how fun, but complex they can be. There are lots of scenarios to account for and getting it just right is critical to making it a great user experience. We are looking for someone who can help us make our auction software an industry leader.
