About GiveDirectly

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving and millions of lives by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $35B each year much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over 1B since launching in 2011 delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative nonprofit companies by Fast Company while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs and The Economist.

Our culture is candid analytical agile and non-hierarchical. Our global team of 150 and country operations teams of 650 together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making and strive to build an ambitious dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully if they reflect how you like to work and energize you this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun and create professional growth opportunities.

About this role

Technology plays a central role in how GiveDirectly delivers cash—whether that’s identifying recipients in hard-to-reach places, sending payments quickly after disasters or powering the platforms our donors use to give.

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build the systems behind this work. Our engineering team still operates like a startup within GiveDirectly—lean, fast-moving and high-autonomy. You’ll lean into product thinking, help shape the roadmap and collaborate closely across disciplines to solve real-world problems. The specific team you’ll join is still being finalized; it could be:

• Our Programs Engineering team (getting cash in the hands of people experiencing extreme poverty)
• Our Fundraising Engineering team (raising more money for recipients) or
• Our International Rapid Response team (getting cash to disaster-affected communities within 5 days of a crisis anywhere in the world)

No matter the team you’ll play a central role in scaling our impact: getting more money to more people more efficiently.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You’ll help shape architecture, ship production-ready code and work side-by-side with teammates across product, data and operations. We’re looking for someone excited to wear multiple hats, move quickly and define what great engineering looks like in a mission-driven org.

Level : Senior Software Engineer

Travel Requirement: Must be able to travel 1-2 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or field visits.

What you’ll do :

• Design and build scalable reliable systems that power our core operations—whether that’s donor platforms, systems that deliver payments directly to recipients, or crisis response tools reaching hundreds of thousands of people globally.
• Own end-to-end development of new features and services from architecture through deployment and monitoring.
• Improve our developer workflows by strengthening CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual steps and increasing test coverage.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, ops, data) to understand real-world needs and ship tools that directly support program delivery in the field.
• Debug and resolve production issues across our stack with a focus on root cause analysis and long-term fixes.
• Advocate for sustainable engineering practices including testing, documentation and monitoring.
• Help shape our tech roadmap with an eye toward scale, maintainability and recipient experience.

What you’ll bring :

• Exceptional alignment with GiveDirectly values and active demonstration of our core competencies: emotional intelligence, problem solving, project management, follow-through and fostering inclusivity. We welcome and strongly encourage applications from candidates who have personal or professional experience in the low-income and/or historically marginalized communities that we serve.
• Language Requirement: English
• 4 years of industry experience creating production-caliber software and systems
• Experience with backend architecture: databases, cloud services, APIs
• Experience building infrastructure to deploy software
• Experience with strongly-typed object-oriented programming such as Java, C#, Go, etc., and scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, etc.
• High degree of ownership and autonomy - you proactively advocate for ways to improve systems and constantly leave our codebase in a better state than you found it
• Strong analytical skills and communication - able to break down complex problems, describe technical trade-offs and collaborate with cross-functional partners (e.g. technical program managers, product managers)
• Bonus: Experience using Python and AWS in a production environment
• Bonus: experience with payments/financial software and/or experience with microservice/serverless architecture
