Job Summary

Join our Product & Engineering team as a seasoned technical leader who will drive, build, and ship robust digital products and features. This is not a coordinator-only job: the ideal candidate is a hands-on builder and architect, contributing code, integrating APIs, and tackling engineering challenges alongside managing project momentum. Applicants must be equally motivated to manage products from concept to deployment, collaborate with stakeholders, and build highly functional, user-focused solutions in a fast-moving mission-driven environment.

Typical Day

Imagine starting your day by catching a Slack ping about a DNS update required for tomorrow’s launch, so you hop into Cloudflare and make the changes; after confirming the deployment pipeline looks healthy, you spin up a brainstorming call with our product and data leads to spec out a new advocacy landing page, sketching wireframes in Figma and highlighting user flows that will keep civic action frictionless. Next, you document the custom targeting workflow our comms team can use to send segmented broadcasts—now automated through your API integrations connecting Twilio, SendGrid, and Segment to our CRM and Ads Manager via GTM—then you jump onto a quick Upwork chat to walk a contractor through improving accessibility on the new React microsite, all before heading into afternoon QA checks and prepping for the user feedback review session that ensures our digital work truly empowers millions with GoodPower.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and launch new digital products and features—including microsites and platform upgrades—using WordPress, Softr, and Engaging Networks, while actively driving our transition from no-code solutions to scalable, modern frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, Node.js/Express, or Django for long-term growth and reliability.
• Integrate and automate tools via APIs—connecting platforms like Twilio SMS, SendGrid, Segment, Google Tag Manager, Ads Managers, and other third-party solutions for seamless workflows and campaign effectiveness
• Lead and mentor a rotating cohort of short-term contractors, ensuring technical standards while also personally rolling up your sleeves for coding, debugging, and live troubleshooting as needed
• Own technical QA and live deployment checks—ensuring accessibility, reliability, and performance before launches across web, email, and SMS exposure
• Collaborate directly with Product, Data, and other internal stakeholders to translate ideas into actionable requirements, and prototype/deploy solutions at speed
• Stay on top of engineering priorities using Jira, Confluence, and best-practice workflow tools
• Maintain high-quality project documentation and foster smooth team communication via Slack and other channels

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to build or extend digital architectures, track conversion events, automate data flows, and weave together best-in-class platforms like Twilio, SendGrid, and Segment using APIs and direct scripts
• Experience leading teams and contractors to deliver on technical projects, while maintaining a deep individual contributor/engineering role
• Track record of launching and maintaining high-quality digital assets under fast timelines, and troubleshooting issues independently
• Familiarity with Jira/Confluence, Google Workspace, Slack, and similar collaboration infrastructure; able to leverage these to enable engineering outcomes
• Bonus: Exposure to advocacy/mobilization tools like Engaging Networks, data-driven campaigns, and optimization for citizen engagement at scale
