GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by millions of donors and 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. At our current pace, we will facilitate $100 billion in charitable giving over the next decade–enough money to send more than 1 million students to college, tuition-free.
GiveCampus is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, but we’re also practitioners of Sustainable Growth: we’ve made the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies each of the last five years and we’ve been profitable nine of the last 10. In 2025, we celebrated a $140 million growth investment that included a major liquidity event for GiveCampus employees–the second in less than three years.
Our purpose-driven team of 130+ is located in 30+ states across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, visit partner institutions, and host retreats in various locations.
While we operate at meaningful scale, we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee plays a meaningful role in shaping what comes next, and we're growing the team in support of our ambitious plans–including a $100 million investment in AI product development. If you believe in the transformative power of education and want to join a fast-growing, mission-driven company, you’ll fit right in.
Location: This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year.
This is a general-interest posting for the Online Giving team. We hire for this team on a rolling basis, so we may not have a seat open the day you apply. We review every application, and when a role opens that matches your experience, we'll reach out. If you're a strong fit for an open role now, we'll move quickly.
Every donation that moves through the GiveCampus platform passes through Online Giving's code. The team owns the giving experience itself—mobile-first Giving Forms and Giving Pages, recurring giving, Memberships, and the campaign tools schools use to run giving days and year-round fundraising—and the payments layer underneath it: card, ACH, and Digital Wallets across Stripe, Spreedly, and PayPal.
It's full-stack work where correctness genuinely matters. Donations have to balance to the penny, a school's finance office reconciles every deposit, and a conversion improvement on a giving form turns directly into dollars for scholarships, programs, and facilities.
As our Partner base and giving volume grow, payments is becoming a bigger share of this team's work. We expect to hire engineers who can go deep on payment infrastructure—processing, recurring billing, payouts and deposits, reconciliation, and risk—alongside engineers who focus on the donor and admin experience. This posting covers both.
Online Giving is one of our cross-functional product teams in Engineering. We run one-week sprints and ship to production multiple times a day.
Depending on the team's priorities and your strengths, you'll take on work like:
Payments and money movement
Giving experience and campaign tools

Required
Strongly preferred
We hire for this team at IC4 and IC5. At IC4, you'll own major features and payment flows with design input from the team. At IC5, you'll own the architecture of a system end to end, set technical direction for the pod's roadmap, and mentor others—and there's room to step into a Tech Lead role. If you're not sure which fits, apply and we'll figure it out together.
