Senior Engineering Manager

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Want to help us, help others? We’re hiring! 

GoFundMe is a global community of over 150 million people who come together every day with the common purpose of helping one another. Our mission is to help people help each other through our best in class technology. In 2022, GoFundMe joined together with Classy, a leading nonprofit fundraising software company that enables nonprofits to connect supporters with the causes they care about. Together, we have empowered people and organizations to raise more than $30 billion since 2010. Our vision is to become the most helpful place in the world.

Join us! We are looking for our first engineering leader in Argentina to join GoFundMe’s Incubation team and help bring groundbreaking 0→1 products to life. In this role, you’ll set the technical vision and build the foundation for innovations that will define our future—leading the development of Partnership APIs that connect GoFundMe to the platforms and channels where our donors engage, and standing up a new team tasked with architecting and delivering a first-of-its-kind marketing technology.

In this position, you’ll recruit, mentor, and grow a local engineering team to design and build reliable, scalable systems from initial concept through MVP launch, partnering closely with Product, Design, and Data to validate ideas quickly. Join us if you’re passionate about personal and professional growth and eager to make a direct impact on GoFundMe’s products and the people who rely on them.

This is a hybrid position; candidates considered for this role will be located in Buenos Aires.

The Job…

  • Build & lead your team. Recruit, hire, and mentor engineers in Argentina, establishing scalable practices for code quality, testing, and delivery.
  • Shape product strategy. Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to translate early-stage research into technical roadmaps and prototypes.
  • Architect from scratch. Guide your engineers in designing modular, maintainable, and scalable systems using GoFundMe’s cloud-native and GraphQL-first approach.
  • Drive execution. Own sprint planning, resource allocation, and risk management to deliver MVPs on time, balancing innovation with reliability.
  • Institute best practices. Champion CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and strong security postures from day one.

You… 

  • Leadership experience. 5+ years managing engineering teams, ideally leading initial hires and building teams from zero.
  • Hands-on technologist. 8+ years building scalable systems, with a track record of architecting and shipping new products.
  • Strategic mindset. Comfort with ambiguity—able to scope broadly, make technical trade-offs, and pivot based on feedback.
  • Cross-functional collaborator. Skilled at communicating technical plans to non-technical stakeholders and aligning diverse teams.
  • Startup spirit. You thrive in fast-moving environments, relish solving novel problems, and take pride in turning rough ideas into lasting solutions.

Preferred… 

  • Familiarity with Spring Boot, Kotlin, GraphQL, AWS, Kafka, and Kubernetes.
  • Prior success scaling engineering teams in LATAM markets.

Why you’ll love it here...

  • Ground-floor opportunity: You’ll be the first engineering manager in Argentina, shaping team culture, processes, and the way we invent new products.
  • End-to-end ownership: From initial discovery through MVP and beyond, you’ll guide your team as they turn nascent ideas into production-ready systems.
  • Make an Impact: Be part of a mission-driven organization making a positive difference in millions of lives every year.
  • Innovative Environment: Work with a diverse, passionate, and talented team in a fast-paced, forward-thinking atmosphere.
  • Collaborative Team: Join a fun and collaborative team that works hard and celebrates success together.
  • Competitive Benefits: Enjoy competitive pay and comprehensive healthcare benefits.
  • Growth Opportunities: Participate in learning, development, and recognition programs to help you thrive and grow.

A little more about you

GoFundMe is where we help people help each other. Help comes in many different shapes and sizes, and so we aim to hire a team who reflects the diverse backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles and values of the people who come to the platform every day. 

You’ll see two sections below. The first section is a list of voluntary self-identification options so you can share what makes you, you! We want to understand the big picture of our employees’ identities, expressions, and abilities. The second section looks similar with slightly fewer specifics, and that one is for our company’s government reporting. Both of these sections are optional, and kept confidential. Your responses or your choice to opt-out have no influence on the hiring process for this role.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
