About Grapevine:
Powers the Giving Circle movement. We help people come together to connect, pool their donations and collaborate to make larger collective grants to nonprofits. Since our launch in 2020, we have moved over $54M+ in donations to more than 8k+ nonprofits across the country from 96k+ Giving Circle members.
We’re the Giving Circle platform partner to companies and foundations like the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Nextdoor Foundation, Newman’s Own Foundation, MetLife Foundation, Chobani, and more. If you’ve never heard of a Giving Circle before, they’re considered to be the fastest-growing form of philanthropy today according to Axios. We have top tier funders supporting our mission, including Notation Capital, PJC, Ulu Ventures, Alex Chung (founder of Giphy), and David Heath (founder of Bombas).
Who we are looking for:
We’re looking for an experienced full-stack engineer with strong technical chops and a desire to work proactively and responsibly on a project with high impact. As an example, on an average day you might work on a new feature to improve user's messaging through the site, optimize SQL queries to improve a report export performance, or integrate our system with a new API to expand functionality. You will be working with two other full stack engineers, a product leader and designer. As a small team, we are leaning into AI to improve velocity and quality and are seeking someone like-minded who will enthusiastically join us in that approach and even bring more ideas to the table for how we can further leverage AI tools. Our values focus on openness, intentionality, collaboration, and spiritedness. We are a high-performing team driven by the goal of making a difference every day. Join us if you're innovative, energetic, and committed to socially impactful work.
