About the Role

Lead Software Engineer Join a mission-driven engineering team that’s passionate about helping nonprofits drive real-world impact. As a Lead Software Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful software, leverage cutting-edge tools including AI, and work alongside a collaborative team that values creativity, autonomy, and continuous growth.

What You’ll Do • Design, build, and maintain reliable microservices within a large-scale distributed architecture using Go for backend APIs and Angular for frontend applications. • Develop and maintain RESTful APIs with OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, ensuring robust service-to-service communication and integration. • Build scalable Angular UI applications and contribute to shared component libraries that support high-quality, consistent user experiences across the platform. • Work within a microservices ecosystem where each service is independently deployable, using Kubernetes/Helm for orchestration and deployment. • Implement comprehensive testing strategies using Ginkgo for Go services (unit, integration, smoke tests) and Jest/Cypress for Angular applications. • Take ownership of complex technical challenges across the full stack, making architectural decisions that span multiple microservices, and contribute to the full software lifecycle — from sprint planning and ticket refinement to implementation, peer reviews, and demos. • Drive technical initiatives and influence technical direction across the platform, evaluating tradeoffs and introducing improvements that benefit multiple teams. • Use AI as a force multiplier. Experiment with LLMs, agentic tools, and AI-integrated features to accelerate development, streamline workflows, and create smarter user experiences. • Embrace change as a catalyst for continuous improvement and team efficiency. • Work closely with product managers, designers, QA engineers, and other developers to build intuitive features that meet user needs and align with our mission. • Lead and mentor junior and mid-level engineers through thoughtful code reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance. Model best practices and contribute to a collaborative, inclusive engineering culture.

Requirements • 5+ years of full-stack software development experience, including work on production systems. • Strong experience with Go for backend development, including building RESTful APIs and microservices. • Proficiency with Angular (preferably Angular 15+) and TypeScript for frontend development. • Solid understanding of microservices architecture, including service discovery, inter-service communication, and distributed system patterns. • Experience with REST API design and OpenAPI/Swagger specifications. • Experience with MySQL in production environments, including schema design and query optimization. • Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes/Helm). • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern deployment practices in Kubernetes environments. • Experience with comprehensive testing frameworks (unit, integration, and e2e testing). • Comfortable working in AWS or similar cloud environments. • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to evaluate tradeoffs and make thoughtful implementation decisions that affect multiple services in a distributed system context. • Enthusiastic about learning and leveraging AI tools to improve development efficiency and product capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience. • Experience working in large-scale microservices environments. • Track record of driving technical initiatives or improvements across teams. • Experience mentoring junior and mid-level engineers and helping them grow their skills. • Experience with system design and making technical decisions in complex distributed environments. • Ability to evaluate and introduce new technologies, patterns, and tools to improve the development stack. • Familiarity with Ginkgo testing framework for Go or Jest/Cypress for Angular applications. • Experience with code generation tools and build automation (Mage or similar tools). • Knowledge of Helm chart development and Kubernetes deployment strategies. • Understanding of JWT-based authentication and role-based authorization systems. • Familiarity with nonprofit or social good technology challenges is a bonus.

At Bonterra, we’re building AI-powered tools to solve real human challenges—and we want teammates who share that enthusiasm. We value people who will champion AI and bring diverse perspectives from different industries, backgrounds, and cultures. Together, we create AI that breaks down barriers, empowers communities, and delivers better outcomes.

At this time, we are unable to consider candidates who require current or future sponsorship for employment authorization.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
