Job Description
Title: Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)
Location: Remote – USA
FreeWill is an award-winning, social-good startup that has partnered with 1200+ nonprofits who support our mission while raising more than $8.1B in bequests to charities since we were founded in 2017. We’ve been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Oprah’s magazine, and our co-CEOs have even been named to Town & Country’s Top 50 Philanthropists list.
All of this is because we’ve figured out how to make some powerful (but complicated!) ways to donate much easier and more accessible. Our products make things easier for the donors who want to change the world and for nonprofits doing heroic work around the planet.
In the last 6 years, we’ve grown from 5 people to 175+ (all smart, tenacious, and kind), and continue to grow. We’d love to have you be a part of this adventure. Check us out on Glassdoor!
Full-time Excellent Benefits Signing Bonus Work from Anywhere in the US (except AL, CO, or LA)
About the role
We are looking for an ambitious Full Stack Senior Engineer who wants to make an impact at a mission-driven company. You are excited to work with a low-ego, highly collaborative team and take on a high level of responsibility across many projects.
FreeWill has set compensation and a non-negotiation policy for fairness reasons (we don’t think that an individual’s pay should be determined by how comfortable they are negotiating). As a result, we like to be transparent and up front about the compensation. When we make an offer, we provide multiple options so that employees can choose between compensation packages that prioritize salary or stock options. The offer for this role (depending on experience and level) will be either a range of $160,000-170,000 or $175,000-185,000. This role is also eligible for a $20,000 signing bonus and will come with stock options and full benefits.
