About Fundraise Up

We’re Fundraise Up - a global fundraising platform built to make donating to nonprofits fast, seamless, and accessible to all. Every month, our technology powers tens of millions of dollars in donations across the globe. We focus on innovation that directly impacts results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, global payment support, and accessibility-first design.

Our platform is trusted by many of the world’s leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer’s Association, and a wide range of global NGOs. With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we’re recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver.

A Truly Global Product

We operate in the enterprise segment, serving nonprofit organizations across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.

We’re building a large and complex product ecosystem that serves nonprofits, donors, and partners around the world. The platform includes a modern checkout experience and customizable widgets (each a standalone SPA), donor, organization, and partner portals, admin tools, and several internal apps.

Our backend is powered by Node.js (Koa, NestJS) and MongoDB. The frontend stack includes Webpack, Vue.js, and React, with nearly all code written in TypeScript. For high-throughput messaging and background processing, we use Kafka (for millions of events) and Bull (Redis). Analytics data is stored in ClickHouse, and we use Elasticsearch for search.

The Team

We are a distributed team of 120+ product professionals, including 35+ engineers. Our team members are mainly based across Spain, Poland, Portugal, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Turkey, and Cyprus. Many of our developers bring 5 - 10+ years of experience, and we foster a culture of deep technical curiosity and knowledge sharing.

Despite our scale, we operate like a focused team - where every task matters and every voice is heard. We value thoughtful collaboration, strong engineering practices, and a product mindset. Biweekly engineering forums give space to share learnings and celebrate technical achievements. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.

About the Role

Right now, our team has three project managers, and you’ll be joining them with the same role. Historically, we had fewer developers, and this kind of work didn’t take much time. Now that we’ve grown, it’s clear that just coordinating everyone requires additional dedicated people.

What You'll Do

• Take part in building the roadmap. Understand who’s overloaded and who has more capacity, which team can take on tasks, and which one is better left untouched for the next month.

• Coordinate development. Know what is being worked on, who’s working on it, where the bottlenecks are, or what’s missing.

• Monitor alignment with the plan, people’s performance, and commitments. Spot recurring process issues and improve them.

• Communicate with Russian-speaking teams and American colleagues. Answer questions about when something will be ready or what’s blocking progress. Help remove those blockers.

Requirements

• You have at least 5 years of relevant experience.

• A technical background — you understand how web services work, what JS, TS, UML, JSON, and other such acronyms mean. You should be a developer in the past.

• You know how to make reports and can write simple scripts for data analysis. Google Sheets and SQL are your friends.

• Strong organizational skills.

• You can write long but clear documents and coordinate teamwork.

• Your English is at C1 level: you don’t struggle to find words and can confidently discuss any technical topics.
