This is what it's about

Please note: The part-time scope is 60-100%. We offer generous home-office options, but are also happy to meet as a team in our office in Zurich.

You want to use your coding skills for a meaningful cause? You want to play a key role in strengthening our technical branch? And you want to take end-to-end responsibility for features?

As a backend engineer in our embedded giving team, you will make it easier for people to donate to organisations that match their interests, and to bring the change to the world that we desperately need.

Your mission

You integrate our web applications, databases, and external systems with backend services, mostly running on serverless infrastructure
Together with your team members – Michael and Nadia – you take decisions on how to develop our lean architecture and technology stack
Maintainable code is important to you. You keep it simple, ensuring that new-joiners quickly understand your work. And you are eager to cover your code with automated tests
Optionally, you implement basic changes in the React frontend (for complex features, dedicated front-end engineers can take over)
You can elaborate your thoughts in non-technical terms, and you enjoy conversations at eye level with product managers, executives, and other team members
Since we are a small team, you are willing to contribute in other fields, so that together we can cover everything that is needed to release high-quality product increments

Your profile

Familiarity with the AWS ecosystem – notably Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, RDS, VPC
Experience with SQL as well as no-SQL databases, including the capability to abstract feature requests into data models
Knowledge of at least one frontend SPA framework (we're mostly using React) and CSS is a plus

Your future at RaiseNow

A meaningful, future-oriented job in an appreciative and innovative environment
Enjoy freedom around your working time and place: we offer flexible work schedules with annual working time as well as temporary working-abroad options
5 weeks of paid annual leave (plus your birthday), increasing with your length of service with RaiseNow to up to 6 weeks
We know that time is precious: work a week at a non-profit organisation, or take a week for educational leave
The perks of joining a scaleup: short decision paths, transparent communication, and regular team events
Project autonomy and space for personal development from the beginning

We are proud to contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Thousands of non-profit organisations already rely on us for their online donations. Currently, we are in the starting phase of a new product which aims to make it easier for people to discover those projects and organisations that match their interests, and to support them sustainably.
