The Communications Platform engineering team is seeking a senior engineer to build and scale mission-critical communication solutions. This role focuses on developing robust systems for emails, push notifications, SMS, and user-to-user communication features.

As a senior engineer, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing end-to-end solutions, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and mentoring junior developers. The role requires expertise in backend development, system design, and performance optimization. You'll work with technologies like Spring Boot, Java/Kotlin, and various AWS services.

The position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on a platform that helps millions of people worldwide. You'll be part of a diverse, passionate team that values innovation and collaboration. GoFundMe offers a supportive culture guided by core values: being impatient to be great, finding a way, earning trust daily, and being fueled by purpose.

The company provides a competitive compensation package and maintains a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
