The role
Come build the backend that powers our detail-focused products, writing C# that holds up under serious load. This is where 6 years becomes $112,000 - $158,000, where remote hours meet real technology ownership, and where Social Change Institute bets on you.
Key Responsibilities
- Decide when to buy AWS versus build it for Social Change Institute's Cary, NC stack
- Translate a napkin idea from Social Change Institute founders into a Kotlin outcome-focused prototype
- Sketch Terraform sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
- Pull Social Change Institute's Swift stack out of the NC region before the migration deadline
- Tune Kotlin caching so Social Change Institute survives the Cary launch spike on the same hardware
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
What You'll Bring
- Fluency in Swift earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
- Senior fluency in Terraform, with C# on your roadmap
- Equal parts Terraform depth and Analytical Thinking curiosity
- Comfort with a Social Change Institute pace that rarely sits still
- Experience at the senior level inside a remote role
- The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
- Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
At its core, Social Change Institute is a craft-obsessed bet that Cary, NC can out-build anyone when it comes to C#. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.
The headline reads $112,000 - $158,000; the fine print is all upside, mentorship, benefits, and freedom to grow your Strategic Planning.
