The Opportunity: Building the future of Non-Profit Technology

You will lead the charge in building highly performant, serverless applications using a modern stack of Node.js, Vue Micro Front-Ends, and the PrimeVue design system.

- Drive UI/UX Excellence: Drive the adoption of our PrimeVue design system to ensure a cohesive, high-performance UI/UX across all services
- Champion Quality & Security: Lead code reviews and champion "Definition of Done" standards to ensure security, redundancy, and top-tier performance
- Collaborate on Design: Partner with Architecture, Product Owners, and Designers to turn complex nonprofit challenges into elegant technical specifications and high-quality design documents
