By uniting individuals and nonprofits in one place, GoFundMe makes it easy and safe for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves and each other. Together, our community has raised more than $40 billion since 2010.

Join us! The GoFundMe team is searching for our next Senior FullStack Engineer to help build and deliver user-centric features, drive excellence across both frontend and backend development, and contribute to a scalable, reliable platform.

This is a hybrid role. Candidates considered for this role will be located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Job

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Product Designers, and fellow Engineers to translate ideas and requirements into high-quality, user-centric features and improvements across the GoFundMe platform.
• Lead the end-to-end development of features, contributing primarily on the frontend while also working on backend services, APIs, and integrations as needed.
• Uphold and elevate our engineering standards by actively participating in code reviews, providing constructive feedback, and mentoring other engineers on best practices for architecture, maintainability, and performance.
• Take full ownership of the development lifecycle — from design and implementation to testing, deployment, and monitoring — delivering robust, scalable solutions with minimal oversight.
• Contribute to platform stability and reliability by participating in on-call rotations, investigating incidents, and resolving production issues efficiently.
• Identify and address areas of technical debt or architectural weakness; design, propose, and implement sustainable solutions that improve scalability, performance, and code quality.
• Champion continuous improvement within the team by advocating for enhancements to our tools, workflows, and infrastructure; provide technical leadership and foster a culture of collaboration and innovation.

You

• 5+ years of professional experience developing, testing, and shipping complex, customer-facing web applications.
• Direct professional experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
• Experience with backend development, particularly using Java, NodeJS or Kotlin.
• Proven ability to translate high-fidelity mockups and designs into beautiful, pixel-perfect, responsive, and accessible web applications using tools such as UI design systems and modern CSS techniques/frameworks.
• Solid experience with frontend testing methodologies and tools (e.g., Jest, Playwright) and code quality linters/formatters (e.g., ESLint).
• Strong understanding and practical experience with client-side performance analysis and optimization techniques.
• Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows (branching, code reviews, pull requests) in a team environment.
• Experience working effectively in an agile, intensely iterative software development process.
• Familiarity with application performance monitoring (APM) and log analytics tools to diagnose and address issues.

Preferred

• Experience integrating frontend applications with GraphQL APIs.
• Hands-on experience implementing and utilizing observability tools (monitoring, logging, alerting).
• Experience configuring and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, specifically using GitHub Actions and merge queues.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes / K8s), and cloud platforms (AWS).
