Title: Node.js Engineer
Location: Remote (U.S. only)

Tech Stack: Node.js, React, PHP, MySQL/Postgres, NoSQL
Domain: EdTech / SaaS / Fundraising Tech
Sponsorship: Not offered

The Mission

Join a mission-driven SaaS team that’s redefining how K–12 schools raise money and connect with their communities. This isn’t another edtech app that fades into the background—this platform powers millions of student experiences annually, blending school spirit with serious software.

They're growing fast, engineering-led, and laser-focused on product quality and performance. Think: passionate, high-ownership culture with just enough structure to let talent breathe.

The Role

You’ll step into a fully remote role as a Node.js Engineer building high-traffic backend services and APIs that power live fundraising events across the country. There’s no fluff here—just meaningful work, production-scale challenges, and a chance to write clean, scalable code that actually matters.

You’ll work within a collaborative product engineering team shipping frequently, iterating fast, and modernizing core systems.

What You’ll Do
  • Build and maintain backend services in Node.js that scale nationwide

  • Collaborate across product and engineering to ship real features, fast

  • Participate in service architecture and data design

  • Contribute to API design, unit testing, and documentation

  • Work with teammates to continuously improve code quality and reliability

What You Bring
  • Hands-on production experience with Node.js

  • Familiarity with React, PHP, MySQL/Postgres, NoSQL (Mongo/Redis/etc.)

  • Clear understanding of asynchronous workflows and microservice patterns

  • Strong grasp of RESTful design and distributed systems

  • Prior experience in agile team environments

  • CS degree or equivalent work experience

Bonus if you’ve got:
  • AWS chops or experience working in cloud-native environments

  • Exposure to GraphQL, GitLab, or observability tools like Datadog

  • Passion for building tech that supports real-world impact

  • A background in education-related platforms or events-based systems

Why It’s Different
  • No VC chaos – this is a business with traction, purpose, and product-market fit

  • Clear impact – your code will directly support students, educators, and communities

  • Remote-first – fully distributed team with high-trust culture

  • Team-first culture – people here actually like working together
