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 160+ product professionals, including 80+ 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. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.

About the Role

You will join a small team responsible for the stability, performance, and security of our server infrastructure: bare metal, VMs, databases, queues, networking, and infrastructure security. Our philosophy is simple: the team owns its systems end-to-end, and every engineer should be able to diagnose and fix issues in their area of responsibility.

This role is for someone who enjoys working with real infrastructure (OS, hardware/virtualization, networks), not just cloud abstractions.

What You'll Do

• Work primarily with on‑premise infrastructure (bare metal and VMs): setup, maintenance, troubleshooting
• Drive clarity in ambiguous situations by defining requirements, assumptions, and next steps
• Own automation projects end‑to‑end (design → rollout → maintenance)
• Improve how we operate: harden and tune systems and also improve the way the team works in terms of operational hygiene
• Keep the platform stable, fast, and secure: servers, web servers, databases, queues
• Investigate production incidents across OS / networking / infrastructure layers, apply temporary mitigations, coordinate with developers and participate in post‑mortems
• Participate in on‑call rotations
• Use AI in all aspects of day‑to‑day work: researching, troubleshooting, developing

Requirements

• 4+ years as a DevOps Engineer / SRE (or very close responsibilities)
• Real, hands-on experience with servers (VMs, bare metal) at the OS level and below: configuring, troubleshooting, digging into “why it’s broken”
• Confident Linux skills (we use Ubuntu). We expect you to be comfortable with the core tools from Linux Crisis Tools
• Solid understanding of networking basics; ability to configure and troubleshoot iptables
• Ansible + Git
• Experience with Bash or Python scripting for automation/observability
• Production/on‑call experience: diagnosing incidents, restoring service, participating in post‑mortems
• Ownership and attention to detail. Downtime is expensive: five years ago, 10 minutes of downtime cost us $100k — today it’s even more

Nice to Have

We understand it’s impossible to be an expert in everything, but it’s important to have solid hands-on experience in two or more of the areas below:

• ClickHouse, MongoDB: what each database is used for, monitoring, troubleshooting performance and slow queries, sharding
• Kafka: operating clusters at scale (topic moves, broker replacements, tuning)
• Redis: high‑load tuning, replication, sharding, performance monitoring
• Elasticsearch: configuration, scaling, sharding/cluster management
• HAProxy / Nginx: load balancing, SSL/TLS, caching, reverse proxying, performance monitoring
• OS tuning: kernel/network stack/filesystem parameters for high‑load systems
• Full Disk Encryption on LVM: We use Clevis + Tang in production
• Infrastructure Security: Teleport, HashiCorp Vault

Bonus points

Great if you’ve worked with any of the following:

• VictoriaMetrics and how it differs from the Prometheus stack
• Complex CI/CD pipelines. We use scripted Jenkins pipelines
• Bare‑metal Kubernetes: provisioning, networking (MetalLB or alternatives), isolation from the internet, scaling across providers (like OVH, Hetzner) and integration with existing infrastructure
• Flux and GitOps
• Terraform

Why work with us

• A strong, collaborative product team that owns what it builds
• Clear product vision and access to real customer feedback from global nonprofit leaders
• Flat structure: no politics, just great work with great people
• Transparent company culture-we share how we’re growing, where revenue comes from, and what’s next
• Long-term focus: we offer equity options and value sustained, meaningful contribution

Benefits

• 31 days off
• 100% paid telemedicine plan
• Home Office Setup Assistance: the company offers assistance with purchasing furniture (office chair, office desk, monitor) and other items to create a comfortable workspace.
• English learning courses
• Relevant professional education
• Gym or swimming pool
• Co-working
• Remote working.

Kineto is a next-generation platform that enables creators, educators, and small businesses to generate, deploy, and operate fully functional AI-powered web applications – instantly and at scale. It combines LLM-driven code generation, multi-tenant Postgres (Neon), dynamic hosting (GKE and Knative), automated deployments (Flux), analytics, billing, and a seamless chat-based UX to make software creation accessible to everyone. Our team is growing rapidly, and we’re now seeking an experienced Infrastructure Engineer who can design, build, and maintain our cloud-native platform, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and automated operations.

What you’ll do:

Cloud and platform engineering (DevOps):

• Design, implement, and manage the core infrastructure powering Kineto's platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including networking, security, and identity management.
• Build and operate resilient, highly available distributed systems using Kubernetes (GKE), Knative, Istio, and related cloud-native technologies.
• Automate the entire infrastructure life cycle (IaC) using Terraform and Terragrunt, ensuring secure, reproducible, and auditable environments.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions and TeamCity) and deployment tools like Flux and Helm for GitOps-driven application delivery.
• Optimize and manage the multi-tenant data layer on Postgres and Neon, focusing on robust tenant isolation, performance, backups, and safe schema management.

Operational excellence and reliability:

• Drive site reliability engineering (SRE) practices, including monitoring, alerting (Prometheus, Grafana), logging (Loki), and incident response.
• Solve complex operational challenges, such as optimizing scale to zero for cost efficiency, minimizing cold starts, enhancing autoscaling behavior, and managing queue backpressure.
• Implement platform-wide performance tuning (e.g. container resource limits, distributed locks, caching strategies, and GC configurations).
• Ensure platform security and compliance by implementing best practices for secrets management, network segmentation, and vulnerability scanning.

Technical leadership:

• Own major infrastructure roadmap items, including multi-region deployments, disaster recovery planning, advanced tenancy separation, and ephemeral preview environments.
• Champion DevOps and SRE principles across the engineering team, mentoring engineers on cloud-native best practices, operational readiness, and debugging complex distributed systems.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define the long-term vision for the platform's architecture and operational model.

We’d be glad to have you on our team if you:

• Have five or more years of experience building and operating large-scale, commercial cloud-native infrastructure, with a strong focus on DevOps/SRE practices.
• Possess deep, hands-on expertise with GCP (or AWS/Azure) and Kubernetes administration and operations (GKE experience is a strong plus).
• Are proficient with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools, particularly Terraform, for managing complex environments.
• Have a solid understanding of Linux internals, networking (CNI and service mesh), security, and distributed system design.
• Are familiar with CI/CD tools, GitOps (e.g. Flux), monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Grafana), and logging systems.
• Thrive in cross-functional teams and excel at communicating complex infrastructure ideas clearly.
