A NOTE ON HOW TO REACH US

We're truly grateful that so many people have Foundant on their radar — it means a lot that our work resonates with others. That said, due to the high volume of direct messages and emails we receive, cold outreach isn't the preferred way to be considered for a role, and we're not able to prioritize applications submitted this way. To apply for open positions, please visit our careers page, which is the fastest and most effective route to being considered.


About Foundant

At Foundant, we build mission-critical software for the social good ecosystem — helping foundations, grantmakers, nonprofits, and community organizations streamline their work, strengthen relationships, and maximize their impact. We serve the giving community worldwide with a comprehensive suite of solutions spanning grant management, community foundation software, and giving analytics.

We're a unified company shaped by strong roots across our product portfolio, and we operate with intention and purpose. Our team of ~350 people across six countries is connected by a shared North Star: to be the trusted partner and strategic advisor to the communities we serve.


Where You’ll Work:
  • As a remote-first workplace, we believe in offering flexibility and the freedom to work where it suits you best, while staying connected through technology. Our global network of talent is supported by physical office hubs and virtual collaboration, fostering a dynamic environment where innovation and growth thrive.
  • With office locations in Bozeman, MT, Toronto, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland, you'll be part of a globally connected team. Whether you're working remotely or from one of our office locations, you'll be contributing to a vibrant, collaborative culture focused on driving meaningful impact across the world.


What You’ll Do:
  • Design and build working prototypes (not mockups) that real users can interact with
  • Run fast experiments, put them in front of users quickly, and make clear decisions about what to do next
  • Work across the full stack - frontend, backend, APIs - without being blocked by layer boundaries and specific technologies
  • Contribute ideas, not just implementations. You'll shape what we build, not just how we build it
  • Share work early, learn out loud, and move on when the evidence says to


What You’ll Need:
  • Senior-level engineering experience with broad technical range
  • Comfortable working from a hypothesis rather than a detailed spec
  • A bias toward speed - you know when good enough is good enough
  • Genuine curiosity about users and why they behave the way they do
  • The ability to stay unattached to your own work when the evidence points elsewhere
  • Fluent with AI-assisted development. You've built real workflows around tools like Copilot, Cursor, or Claude and use them to move meaningfully faster, not just as an autocomplete


What this role is not:

This role isn't the right fit if you do your best work with clearly defined requirements, prefer to specialize in a single layer, or want a team that optimizes for production-grade code above all else.


Why You’ll Love Working at Foundant:
  • At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to innovation and making a positive impact. Whether you’re working on projects that empower not-for-profits, community foundations, or corporations, your contributions will help drive real-world change. 
  • We offer competitive salary and benefits, including tuition, and lifestyle reimbursements, and bespoke mindfulness and fitness initiatives.  
  • With our Flexible PTO policy, you’ll have the freedom to manage your time in a way that supports your personal well-being and professional success. 
  • We’re committed to your professional and personal development.  With our merger, you'll have the chance to collaborate across teams, giving you exposure to diverse ideas, expertise, and projects that span multiple industries.  
  • As part of a larger organization, you’ll have even more opportunities to grow your career. Whether it’s exploring new roles, leadership opportunities, or shifting to a different department, we support internal mobility to help you achieve your career goals 
  • You’ll enjoy autonomy and responsibility, empowering you to approach your work creatively and independently, fostering innovation and independent thought. 
  • Employee recognition is a core part of our culture. When you do a great job, we make sure everyone knows about it!
