• You integrate our web applications, databases, and external systems with Node.js 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

• Proficiency with Node.js, Typescript and a testing framework (we’re using Vitest and Cypress)

• 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

• Fluency in English, written and spoken (C1)

Our technology stack in short:
Node.js, TypeScript, Vitest, React, CSS, Cypress, AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS with MariaDB), Sanity.io

• 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.

As of now, our team consists of eight people, all located in Zurich, with competences in engineering, design, product management, communication and finances.
