As the second largest and fastest-growing social good software company in the world, we build the fundraising and engagement tools nonprofits rely on: online giving portals, donor management, and auction platforms.\n\nAbout the Role\n\nSenior Software Engineer\n\nWe're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to work broadly across our Rails application suite — not a single-initiative hire, but someone who'll move across the codebase as priorities shift, own features end-to-end, and help set technical direction as we modernize. This is a product engineering role. You'll partner directly with Product and Design to take a problem from technical discovery through delivery — scoping the approach, surfacing tradeoffs, making the call when things are ambiguous, and following through to a shipped, monitored feature. We're not looking for someone who waits to be told what to build.\n\nResponsibilities\n\nOwn features end-to-end across our Rails applications (PostgreSQL, MySQL) Java/C#/Python (Preferred -Ruby on Rails) serving donors, nonprofits, and platform administrators — from technical discovery and scoping through implementation, rollout, and monitoring.\nWork with a layered frontend: React for stateful UI, Stimulus for behavior on server rendered HTML, Turbo for partial updates, Action Cable for real-time features.\nDesign and tune asynchronous workflows via Sidekiq across prioritized queues, with CloudWatch instrumentation.\nParticipate in ongoing platform modernization — dependency and framework upgrades, migration off legacy patterns, and paying down debt deliberately rather than reflexively.\nUse AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as a standard part of your workflow — not just for autocomplete, but for accelerating discovery, testing, and review — while maintaining a critical eye on what they produce.\nWrite RSpec/Capybara system specs and Jest unit tests and own the full quality surface: N+1 detection, dependency/security scanning, and safe migrations (Strong Migrations).\nShip and deploy via Capistrano across staged environments (dev → beta → demo → staging → production).\nCollaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and DevOps — including communicating tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders and driving alignment on architectural decisions rather than deciding in isolation.\n\nQualifications\n\nHave 5+ years of Java/C#/Python (Preferred -Ruby on Rails) experience, including work across the full request lifecycle — schema design to rendered HTML to async job.\n\nRequired Skills\n\nDefault to ownership. You can take a loosely-defined problem, resolve the ambiguity yourself, and drive it to done — pulling in the right people rather than waiting for direction.\nAre AI-forward. You use AI tools daily in your engineering work and have opinions on where they help and where they don't — you're not a skeptic by default, but you're also not uncritical of the output.\nHave 5+ years of Java/C#/Python (Preferred -Ruby on Rails) experience, including work across the full request lifecycle — schema design to rendered HTML to async job.\nHave navigated real technical tradeoffs (simplicity vs. performance, shipping vs. tech debt) and can explain the reasoning, not just the decision.\nBring a strong testing instinct — you write specs before and after, not as an afterthought.\nAre comfortable with AWS (S3, EC2, SNS, Lambda) in a Rails deployment context.\n\nPreferred Skills\n\nHave experience with payment processing or other financially sensitive integrations (bonus).\n\nEqual Opportunity Statement\n\nNot specified.\n\nAdditional Information\n\nYou'd Be a Strong Fit If You:\n\nDefault to ownership. You can take a loosely-defined problem, resolve the ambiguity yourself, and drive it to done — pulling in the right people rather than waiting for direction.\nAre AI-forward.

If you're someone who needs a fully specified ticket to make progress, this probably isn't the right fit; if you're someone who pushes back on bad assumptions and proposes alternatives, it probably is.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5346,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nonprofit, Church & Membership Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T17:33:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["seen:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bonterra-senior-software-engineer-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bonterra-senior-software-engineer-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T09:03:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19679,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4137},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4137"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbonterra-senior-software-engineer-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbonterra-senior-software-engineer-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbonterra-senior-software-engineer-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bonterra-senior-software-engineer-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbonterra-senior-software-engineer-3"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3879262}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bonterratech.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3879262},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
