Why Join Chuffed.org?

Chuffed.org is on a mission to power up the world’s biggest social justice movements.

To date we’ve helped raise $150M+ across 35,000 campaigns in 23 countries and are backed by Blackbird Ventures & the Telstra Foundation.

Our team has fought alongside the Wangan & Jagalingou Cultural Custodians to Stop Adani, created a space to get help and aid to Palestinian families, and helped back the most significant climate change action groups across the world; Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil, Last Generation and more. 

What You’ll Do

We are a small team of dedicated and multi-disciplinary people, and we spend our days building and maintaining the products and features that help make chuffed.org the preferred crowdfunding platform for the biggest social justice movements in the world.

Each day will be different, but here’s how you’ll generally spend your time:

  • Working within the engineering team to design, implement, and maintain high-quality applications and features

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to assess feasibility and delivery of solutions, as well as define project requirements and specifications

  • Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards and practices

  • Work with the engineering team to architect the ongoing technology strategy , considering key factors such as risk assessment, scalability, re-usability, and security

  • Manage and optimise MySQL databases to ensure high performance and reliability

  • Write documentation of features and concepts , and ensure existing documentation is kept up-to-date

  • Use monitoring and logging tools to troubleshoot and resolve software issues, to ensure reliable application performance

  • Collaborate with the customer support team to ensure common bugs or feature requests are prioritised or fixed

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Senior Engineer , with in-depth knowledge of:

    • J avascript and modern front-end architecture and frameworks , working with React and/or NextJS . You’ll ideally have an opinion on typesafe code, coding styles, testing, and security
    • Writing tests within a testing framework, such as Jest , or React Testing Library , as well as regression test suites like Cypress
    • State management and data fetching , including Redux or Next.js API methods
    • Performance optimization techniques , such as code splitting, lazy loading, and efficient rendering strategies
  • Sound understanding of SDLC processes , SOLID principles, OOP and design patterns and paradigms. 

  • Solid experience in communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

  • Experience with backend principles and a willingness to expand your backend skills so you can contribute to our backend when needed

  • A strong growth mindset - you’re not afraid to take risks, fail, and learn

  • A passion for social justice and a strong desire to help Chuffed campaigners succeed

  • Able to design ‘on-the-go’ without spending too much time perfecting the UI before we build, including adjusting the designs to stakeholder feedback

  • Ability to solve challenges independently , but also not afraid to ask for help

  • Work in a team that thrives on high-impact engineering , where we optimize for efficiency, scalability, and rapid iteration—without the burnout

Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience working with IaC principles and tools, particularly Terraform

  • Demonstrated experience managing AWS services

  • Proven experience working with GraphQL

  • Proven experience working with PHP frameworks, such as Laravel or Symfony

Benefits

  • $130-150K per annum + superannuation
  • We value work-life balance. We work autonomously from home and meet up with the team intermittently to collaborate in-person. We’re based in Sydney and Melbourne but open to remote employees within Australia
  • Work alongside industry leading marketers and digital engineers in a small and agile team with deep industry connections
  • Spend your days amplifying the work of campaigners pushing for progressive social change around the world

We’re building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We encourage people from all backgrounds, ages and abilities to apply. We value all kinds of experiences, so even if you don’t meet all of the requirements outlined above, we encourage you to apply.
