Responsibilities:

Work with your team to architect, refactor, and improve donor and entity user experiences.
Lead the technical execution of large, cross-team initiatives, working with multiple engineers to design and implement solutions that balance high-impact opportunities with effort, scope, and technical tradeoffs.
Break down initiative-level work across multiple epics and contribute technical expertise to shape the team's roadmap prioritization.
Partner with designers and product managers to help shape the team's roadmap, anticipating important information needs from stakeholders to inform project work and proactively raising potential competing product interests.
Serve as a technical consultant and go-to resource for engineers across teams on complex architectural decisions, system design, and best practices.
Collaboratively develop and champion best practices and design patterns to improve the maintainability of the platform.
Demonstrate technical leadership through writing documentation, establishing effective testing and monitoring, and fostering clear and audience-oriented communication.
Coach and mentor multiple members of the team, creating professional development opportunities and fostering a culture of seeking feedback as a tool for growth.
Create spaces for individuals to be engaged, valued, and heard, setting examples and cultural expectations around inclusivity within the team.
Receive support from your manager to grow as an individual and increase your impact on the success of your team and the progressive movement.

Requirements:

6+ years of relevant professional experience, with demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership for multi-quarter initiatives involving complex requirements, strategic thinking, and cross-team collaboration.
Broad understanding of a spectrum of stacks; expert understanding of dependencies, needs, impacts, and risks across technical areas within a domain.
Professional experience working with React and TypeScript to develop frontend features from design and discovery through to deployment and monitoring.
Significant experience in developing and maintaining large monolithic server-side web applications, including making changes to APIs to carry features to completion.
Deep understanding of performance, scalability, and security best practices, with ability to recommend system-level improvements to mitigate concerns for broad systems. Known as a go-to consultant that engineers turn to for guidance in these areas.
Experience designing frameworks to enable a culture of defensive testing; consistently debugging the toughest issues throughout the stack regardless of environment, finding root cause or viable workarounds.
Ability to assess technology and integrations in the context of multiple teams; recognized as an expert across teams for facilitating technical decision-making.
Ability to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders and to collaboratively translate business requirements and strategic goals into technical solutions, modifying communication style to fit the audience. Ability to raise information to PMs and stakeholders relevant to team goals; effectively communicate technical details and value to non-technical stakeholders.
Experience coaching engineers on coaching and mentoring others; fostering a culture of delivering specific praise and constructive feedback.
Can provide support and stability during times of urgency; contribute holistic solutions in post-mortems.
Can lead the identification and execution of solutions for team and organizational concerns.
An inclusive, generous working style: you like to mentor, collaborate, and elevate your team by supporting your peers, providing coaching and guidance to multiple team members, and anticipating where your intervention would be helpful.
