givebutter - Senior Software Engineer, Trust & Safety

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with experience in fraud, trust & safety, risk, abuse prevention, or adjacent domains. • Experience building fraud detection or risk decisioning systems — rule engines, scoring systems, policy frameworks, or investigation platforms. • Strong backend engineering fundamentals. You can design scalable, event-driven systems and reason about distributed architecture tradeoffs. You've debugged production issues across multiple layers of the stack. • Stakeholder partnership. You partner closely with end-users and cross-functional stakeholders to discover problems, validate solutions, and iterate based on feedback. You communicate clearly, ask good questions, and help turn ambiguous needs into shippable work. • Good judgment and prioritization. You can take a vague problem like "our dispute rate is climbing" and work with your team to break it down into a concrete plan with clear next steps. • Experience with PHP/Laravel, or a similar MVC framework like Ruby on Rails, Django, etc. Laravel experience is a plus, but strong fundamentals in any comparable framework translate well. • Experience leading a project or feature area end-to-end • Experience with React/TypeScript on the frontend. • Familiarity with Stripe's APIs, payments, disputes, Radar, or similar payment processor integrations. • Experience building tools for operations or support teams (internal tooling, case management, review queues). • Background in fundraising, nonprofit tech, or marketplace platforms where T&S challenges involve campaign legitimacy, donor protection, or platform abuse. • Exposure to event-driven architectures (CDC, Kafka, event sourcing) for real-time risk signal processing. • Experience working in AWS (EKS/Kubernetes, RDS, etc.). • 2. Hiring Manager Interview: A deeper dive into your relevant experience, skillset, and working style. This is your first opportunity to connect directly with the person who may be your future manager. • 3. Assessment (technical or non-technical): This stage will vary based on the role. It could involve a live coding session, case study, or take-home project. Some roles may include two parts to this stage to evaluate both practical skills and problem-solving approaches • 4. Values Interview: A conversation with team members focused on how you align with our core values and leadership principles. • 5. References: We connect with a few folks you’ve worked closely with to get a better picture of your working style and impact. • 6. Offer: If all goes well, we’ll move to the offer stage! • Please note, we will have an AI note-taking tool join most of our interviews. • Hi potential new butterslice! A recent study from LinkedIn https://business.linkedin.com/content/dam/me/business/en-us/talent-solutions-lodestone/body/pdf/Gender-Insights-Report.pdf showed that most women apply to jobs only when they meet 100% of the requirements, whereas men will hit the apply button if they hit 60%. Givebutter is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. So to the women and nonbinary folks out there feeling unsure if you're a perfect fit, we strongly encourage you to apply!
