At Gitcoin, our mission is to build and fund digital public goods. We empower communities of builders to connect and work together to create the future of the open web. As of August 2021, we have helped developers, designers, and creators of all types raise or earn >$35mm to fund their open-source ecosystems by enabling the community and institutions to fund each other with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or DAI.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Engineer - Full Stack to join us at Gitcoin on our product team developing the future of our Grants, Bounties, and Hackathons products. In this role, you will work alongside fellow engineers, designers, and product managers as part of a dedicated product group to create new products, implement new features, and work to improve the performance, quality, and efficiency of our current products. This role includes implementing architecture improvement, writing code for both our Vue/JS/HTML/CSS frontend and our Python/Django/Postgres backend, empathizing with our users and stakeholders, and collaborating to review, test, and deploy code with the rest of our engineering team.

About You:

  • You are driven to create customer value. You can empathize with customers and our user base to understand their needs.
  • You have a bias towards action. You get things done. When you can’t get them done, you communicate why and what you need to get unblocked.
  • You are persistent in the face of roadblocks. You take the initiative to fix issues before being assigned them.
  • You can identify problems/risks in architecture design and devise creative solutions/remediations.
  • You write automated tests and have an appreciation for dependable continuous integration/continuous delivery practices
  • You advocate for and understand how to incrementally refactor code to continually improve a codebase while ensuring that the systems are designed to scale.
  • You agree that a passionate, inclusive, collaborative team of missionaries always outperforms a loose group of individual mercenaries.
  • You have at least 3 years of experience as a software engineer at a tech company or startup.
