About Donorbox
Donorbox is a leading fundraising platform and donor management system for nonprofit organizations. Our mission is to accelerate positive impact worldwide by helping nonprofits become highly effective at raising funds and managing their supporter base. Since 2014, we have powered more than 100,000 global organizations to close to $3B in donations. 🚀
Our fast-growing company is profitable and bootstrapped with a healthy run rate. We have a fully distributed and diverse 150-person team based in 16+ states and 23+ countries.
🏅Donorbox is rated the #1 software for fundraising, donor management, and nonprofit payment on G2 based on hundreds of verified customer reviews. We’re proud of what we do, and our product reflects it!
The Role
Our company is developing popular products within the philanthropic ecosystem. Our Donation Checkout, Tablet Kiosk, Campaign Creator, and Event Pages serve millions of users every month. We are seeking a skilled developer proficient in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, SQL, JavaScript, and CSS. We value quality through simplicity.
