About Fundraise Up

We’re Fundraise Up - a global fundraising platform built to make donating to nonprofits fast, seamless, and accessible to all. Every month, our technology powers tens of millions of dollars in donations across the globe. We focus on innovation that directly impacts results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, global payment support, and accessibility-first design.

Our platform is trusted by many of the world’s leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer’s Association, and a wide range of global NGOs. With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we’re recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver.

A Truly Global Product

We operate in the enterprise segment, serving nonprofit organizations across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.

We’re building a large and complex product ecosystem that serves nonprofits, donors, and partners around the world. The platform includes a modern checkout experience and customizable widgets (each a standalone SPA), donor, organization, and partner portals, admin tools, and several internal apps.

Our backend is powered by Node.js (Koa, NestJS) and MongoDB. The frontend stack includes Webpack, Vue.js, and React, with nearly all code written in TypeScript. For high-throughput messaging and background processing, we use Kafka (for millions of events) and Bull (Redis). Analytics data is stored in ClickHouse, and we use Elasticsearch for search.

The Team

We are a distributed team of 160+ product professionals, including 80+ engineers. Our team members are mainly based across Spain, Poland, Portugal, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Turkey, and Cyprus. Many of our developers bring 5 - 10+ years of experience, and we foster a culture of deep technical curiosity and knowledge sharing.

Despite our scale, we operate like a focused team - where every task matters and every voice is heard. We value thoughtful collaboration, strong engineering practices, and a product mindset. Biweekly engineering forums give space to share learnings and celebrate technical achievements. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Team Lead to join the Donor Experience Platform team. In this role, you will lead the development of a technical platform (internal API) that powers the company’s key products — various forms and interfaces for processing online donations.

We already have a strong team of developers as well as a product and technical roadmap in place, but we are missing a strong technical leader to lead the team.

What You'll Do

• Lead a team of 3-5 Fullstack developers.
• Write and review code (approximately 70/30 split in favor of management).
• Ensure the team follows company processes and engineering guidelines.
• Own the delivery of features and adherence to deadlines.
• Make technical decisions, prepare technical designs for new features, and align them with neighboring teams and your manager.
• Manage technical debt and maintain the technical backlog for your team.
• Mentor and develop engineers; conduct regular 1:1 meetings.
• Onboard new team members.
• Conduct performance reviews.

Requirements

• You are an experienced Engineering Team Lead with 10+ years of software development experience, including at least 2 years as a Team Lead or Engineering Manager managing a team of 5–10 developers.
• You’re a hands-on leader who can write code, make sound technical decisions, and design systems thoughtfully.
• You have strong people management skills — hiring, coaching, giving feedback, and resolving conflicts.
• You have at least 3 years of experience as a Fullstack Developer.
• You have at least 5 years of experience in product companies working with our stack: TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, Kafka, Redis.
• Experience working in fast-growing companies or startups will be a plus.
• Your English is at B2+ level: you don’t struggle to find words and can confidently discuss any technical topics.

Why work with us

• A strong, collaborative product team that owns what it builds
• Clear product vision and access to real customer feedback from global nonprofit leaders
• Flat structure: no politics, just great work with great people
• Transparent company culture-we share how we’re growing, where revenue comes from, and what’s next
• Long-term focus: we offer equity options and value sustained, meaningful contribution

Benefits

• 100% paid telemedicine plan
• Home Office Setup Assistance: the company offers assistance with purchasing furniture (office chair, office desk, monitor) and other items to create a comfortable workspace.
• English learning courses
• Relevant professional education
