Growth with a Purpose 

ShoppingGives began in 2015 as an organization to do good and make an impact.  We build products to address the expectation for change.  We exist to create impact on every purchase, and we believe that micro-actions lead to macro impact.  Every day we help retailers, no matter how large or small, give back to the causes that their customers are passionate about. Through everyday purchases, we get to watch the world around us become better one transaction at a time, and we think that’s pretty incredible.  Our impact is enormous and why we are growing with a purpose.  We know it’s best to Invest in Tomorrow, Today.  That means we don’t skip any steps while planning or default to the solutions we are comfortable with - we research tomorrow's leading technologies and how they can benefit our products. 

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to enjoy coming to work everyday? Making an Impact with every keystroke? How about smacking tennis balls with Serena Williams on a Tuesday at lunch? Okay technically that third one we can't make happen but she is an early investor in ShoppingGives and two out of three isn't bad!

We are an impact driven organization that thrives on  a collaborative, open communicative and hyper transparent environment. How many more months/years are you going to spend working for organizations that think diversity is a four letter word. At ShoppingGives we don't believe in a glass ceiling since we are a startup and we haven’t gotten around to building one yet!

The bottom line at the top - we make the world a better place with the tools we build. Would you like to join us and help?

Let's define "heck of an engineer":

  • Responsible for server-side API development using cloud architecture patterns
  • Developing microservices using .NET core. 
  • 6+ months AWS Infrastructure experience - focus on API Gateway, EC2, ELB, RDS, and PostgreSQL.
  • Develop custom software solutions within a .NET environment (or other server-side web application frameworks)
  • Writing application and database code based on business requirements, user stories, architectural requirements, and established coding standards
  • And a good amount of the things in the “What you bring to the team” section below… so keep reading! 

Now that you know what we’re looking for. Let’s speak about what you’re looking for. Do you...?

  • Use your mad engineering skills to create some good in this world?
  • Want to be the backbone of a high output team?
  • Take pride in delivering high-quality code? You know, the type that doesn't have to be rewritten in a year or maybe ever? 
  • Want to finish your workday both exhausted by the pace of progress yet energized by all the new stuff you get to build? 
  • Keep pressing for more information until you understand the full picture so you can deliver something functional for your team and elegant for users?
  • Work every day in every day with an honest, excited, transparent, and (appropriately) vulnerable team?

If you answered yes to those questions - this might be the role for you. 

Let's be real: This job isn't for everyone.

  • We're driven by our mission to do good and our teammates.
  • We work hard and deliver fast - we have lots of customers to keep on our platform.
  • There is not a lot of BS here - we help out, strive to learn and do better than last time, actively look for coaching and teachable moments - and we get our jobs done.
  • Mistakes are forgivable, but inactivity is not.
  • We're accountable to you because you'll be accountable to us. 
  • We understand that to grow our business; we must grow our people - so we're looking for learners, teachers, and in this instance, one a heck of an engineer too. Is that you?
