Manager, Software Engineering, Integrations Platform

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

GoFundMe is the world’s most powerful community for good, dedicated to helping people help each other. By uniting individuals and nonprofits in one place, GoFundMe makes it easy and safe for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves and each other. Together, our community has raised more than $40 billion since 2010.

Join us! The GoFundMe team is searching for our next Manager, Software Engineering, Integrations Platform to lead the engineering team responsible for the systems and platform that power critical integrations across GoFundMe. You'll shape the technical direction of our Integrations Platform while leading a talented team that builds and operates Public APIs, Webhooks, Salesforce integrations, and strategic integration solutions that connect GoFundMe with customers, nonprofit partners, and third-party platforms. This is a highly collaborative leadership role where you'll combine people leadership, technical strategy, and hands-on engineering to build reliable, scalable integration experiences that support millions of people helping one another.

Candidates considered for this role will be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. There will be an in-office requirement of 3x a week.

The Job

  • Lead, grow, and support a team of ~5-8 software engineers building and operating the Integrations Platform, fostering a high-performing, inclusive, and collaborative environment.
  • Own delivery and execution of the integrations roadmap, balancing partner needs, new platform capabilities, reliability work, and technical debt.
  • Operate as a player-coach. Stay hands-on in architecture reviews, technical proposals, and design documents, and prototype where it adds the most leverage, while maintaining enough technical depth to make sound trade-off decisions.
  • Partner closely with your Senior ICs to set technical direction, drive architectural alignment, and hold a high bar for engineering quality and operational excellence.
  • Recruit, hire, and onboard exceptional engineers, and develop them through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, growth plans, and performance management.
  • Guide the team through the incremental migration to the next-generation integrations platform, managing scope, risk, phased cutovers, and rollback strategies without disrupting customers or nonprofit partners.
  • Drive operational excellence for correctness-critical systems, including healthy on-call practices, SLO-based monitoring, incident response, and blameless retrospectives.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Go-to-Market, Customer Success, and other engineering teams to deliver seamless integration experiences.
  • Partner directly with customers and external technology partners to troubleshoot complex integration challenges and deliver effective solutions.
  • Champion AI-assisted software development practices using tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot by supporting repository conventions, review discipline, and engineering guardrails that let AI agents contribute safely at scale.
  • Represent the team's work, priorities, and needs to engineering leadership and the broader organization.

You

  • Experience leading and growing software engineering teams as a people manager, backed by a strong hands-on engineering background as an IC.
  • A credible technical partner: able to engage deeply in design and architecture discussions for backend, distributed, and event-driven systems, and to coach engineers on technical decisions.
  • Familiarity with the technologies underpinning modern integration platforms, such as TypeScript/Node.js, APIs and webhooks, message-driven architectures, and AWS services (e.g., Lambda, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, ECS, API Gateway).
  • A track record of recruiting, hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers, and of building healthy, motivated teams.
  • Proven ability to deliver complex platform or backend projects, managing scope, risk, and stakeholders across teams.
  • Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product, Design, Customer Success, Sales, and external partners to deliver customer-focused solutions.
  • Comfort with correctness-critical distributed systems concepts, including idempotency, reliable event processing, and safe, phased production migrations.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, a product-minded approach, and a passion for mentoring engineers and solving complex technical challenges.
  • Experience driving operational excellence, including on-call health, observability, and incident management.

Preferred

  • Experience managing teams that build integrations, platforms, public/private APIs, or developer-facing services.
  • Experience integrating with Salesforce, particularly nonprofit-focused products including NPC, NPSP, or Experience Cloud, and understanding of CRM ecosystems and the nonprofit or fundraising technology space.
  • Familiarity with durable execution or workflow orchestration technologies such as Temporal or Cadence.
  • Experience leading teams through re-platforming or large-scale migrations while operating legacy and modern systems simultaneously.
  • Familiarity with iPaaS platforms such as Zapier or Workato, and with PHP/Laravel environments.
  • Experience establishing conventions and verification practices that enable AI coding agents to contribute safely at scale.

  • 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.

  • Commitment to DEI: Contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion through ongoing initiatives and employee resource groups.

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 "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

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.
