This role will report directly to Engineering leadership and collaborate cross-functionally with stakeholders across Product, Design and Engineering.\nYou'll help us build, scale, and maintain the web applications that power the Virtuous platform - keeping them fast, reliable, and observable as our traffic and data grow, while also shipping the net-new features that win deals and deepen the value customers get from the product. You should feel comfortable across the full stack, from crafting intuitive UIs to designing robust backend services, but gravitate toward the harder questions: How does this behave under load? Where does it fall over, and how do we know before our customers do? How do we ship quickly without sacrificing reliability?\nIt's essential that you already know and actively use modern AI development tools and that you're curious about how to make them work harder for you. We treat AI agents as a core part of how strong engineers work today: a force multiplier across the entire stack. But we never trade speed for quality. You stay firmly in the driver's seat, owning the correctness, design, and long-term health of everything you ship, and bringing the judgment to know when to lean on a tool, when to question it, and when a hard problem still demands your own thinking.\nOur current tech stack is Python/Django on the backend, with PostgreSQL as our primary datastore. On the frontend, we're actively migrating from React/GraphQL toward a leaner, server-side architecture built on HTMX. We're continually evaluating tools and frameworks to support a growing platform, and a willingness to explore new technologies and offer thoughtful input into technical and infrastructure decisions is important to us.\nResponsibilities\nYou'll own meaningful, high-impact areas of the platform end to end - not just contribute to them. Specifically, you can expect to:\nOwn the performance and scalability of our data layer as we onboard larger and more complex organizations - indexing, query optimization, read replicas, partitioning, and connection pooling - so onboarding and day-to-day usage stay fast and reliable even at enterprise scale\n\nOwn our asynchronous and background-processing infrastructure (e.g., Celery), keeping it healthy, observable, and able to keep pace with growing data volume\n\nDesign, build, and ship net-new, revenue-driving features across the full stack - from messaging and bulk-sending capabilities to richer reporting, analytics, and email experiences\n\nHelp reinforce and extend our move to a server-side, HTMX-based frontend, improving both developer velocity and front-end reliability\n\nDesign, build, and maintain scalable web applications used by nonprofit organizations around the world\n\nCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand user needs and translate them into technical solutions\n\nWrite clean, testable, and efficient code across the frontend and backend\n\nContribute to architectural discussions and help drive technical decision-making across the platform\n\nParticipate in code reviews, and help foster a culture of learning and improvement\n\nOwn the reliability, performance, and observability of the systems you work on - instrument them well, set meaningful alerts, and treat production health as a first-class part of the work\n\nProvide thoughtful feedback on technology choices as we evaluate changes across our stack\n\nSupport a culture of experimentation, iteration, and continuous delivery\n\nYou Must Have\n6+ years building modern web applications, including meaningful time spent running and scaling them in production\n\nProficiency in Python and frameworks like Django (or similar)\n\nHands-on experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your regular development workflow\n\nExperience operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Terraform)\n\nExperience with JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend frameworks such as React or Vue\n\nStrong understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL - not just querying them, but tuning them: indexing, query optimization, and strategies for scaling (read replicas, partitioning, connection pooling, etc.)\n\nExperience integrating with RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs\n\nSolid DevOps fundamentals: CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure monitoring, and hands-on experience scaling applications under real load\n\nComfort with observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) and a habit of using it to debug and prevent production issues\n\nA love for building quality products that delight users and solve real problems\n\nStrong communication skills and a team-first mindset\n\nNice to Haves\nFamiliarity with container orchestration (Kubernetes) or modern PaaS deployment\n\nExperience defining and working against SLOs/SLIs, or otherwise formalizing reliability targets\n\nExperience working in a SaaS or B2B product company\n\nFamiliarity with C# / .NET\n\nPrior experience in the nonprofit tech space\n\nContributions to open-source projects or relevant technical blogs\n\nExcitement about helping teams grow and mature their engineering practices\n\nAbout Us\nVirtuous software is powering the world’s leading nonprofits and inspiring a new generation of generosity.\nAt Virtuous, we believe generosity has the power to transform the world - and so we are on a mission to create $10B in net new generosity by helping nonprofits better connect with and inspire their donors.\nOur talented team is hungry, humble, and committed to delivering best-in-class software solutions, customer success interactions, and sales experiences to the nonprofit community.\nOur values are more than just a poster on the wall. Instead, our mission and values are precisely why candidates choose Virtuous. Our core values are:\nBuild Better: We build audacious ideas to accelerate philanthropy and dismantle the status quo.\n\nDisplay Radical Generosity: We are generous with our time & talent as we serve our team and the nonprofit community.\n\nStay Humble & Enjoy the Journey: We take our work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.\n\nVirtuous should act as a career accelerator for everyone on our team. Team members should look back at their time at Virtuous as one of the most productive and stretching seasons in their professional lives. This means that working at Virtuous isn't for everybody. It is for the select few who are ready to do hard things and build something truly great.\nIf this sounds like you, we’d love for you to apply!\nWhat We Offer\nMarket competitive pay leveraging Carta data\n\nEmployee recognition through Bonusly (birthdays, anniversaries, achievements, etc.)\n\n401(k) retirement plan with company matching- 50% match up to 6% of compensation after 90 days\n\nWe value our employee’s work-life balance and encourage taking advantage of Unlimited PTO\n\nSupportive time off including paid volunteer days and company holidays\n\nEmployer-contributed healthcare benefits, encompassing medical, dental, and vision coverage, with plans available for dependents and choices for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).\n\n12 weeks primary parent leave, 4 weeks secondary parent leave - full pay (adoption as well)\n\nWe pride ourselves on Community and host exciting company outings and events.\n\nWe’ve recently noticed an increase in recruitment scams where individuals are impersonating recruiters to obtain personal or financial information through fraudulent interviews and job offers.\nPlease note that all legitimate communication from Virtuous will only come from the @ virtuous.org domain. If you receive a message from other domains, even if they look similar (e.g., virtuouscareers.org or virtuousjobs.com), they are not legitimate and we recommend disregarding it immediately.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7927,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Retirement plans","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Phoenix","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Information Technology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-10T12:31:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.487,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":114,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:19","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-03T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/virtuous-senior-software-engineer-full-stack","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/virtuous-senior-software-engineer-full-stack.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-04T03:01:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4568,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":432,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"}}}
