Vice President, Engineering

The Role

As the Vice President of Engineering overseeing our Fundraising Product and Payments Systems, you will own the technical strategy and execution for the products that sit at the heart of how tens of thousands of nonprofit organizations raise money and process donations. Our fundraising platform powers online giving, campaign management, and donor engagement, while our unified payments systems provide reliable payment processing across the Bloomerang ecosystem. This role demands a leader who can drive operational rigor in mission-critical payment infrastructure while accelerating innovation in AI-powered fundraising experiences. You'll work closely with Product leadership, fellow VPs of Engineering, Head of Quality Assurance, Head of Agile Operations, and Head of Information Security to deliver secure, scalable solutions that help nonprofits raise more money, reduce friction in the giving experience, and unlock new fundraising strategies through intelligent automation and predictive insights.

We're looking for someone who is not just comfortable with the pace of AI-driven change, but is energized by it. You should be the kind of leader who rolls up their sleeves, digs into the details, and holds teams to a high bar while creating the conditions for them to do their best work.

What You Will Do

• Lead and scale a high-performing engineering organization responsible for fundraising tools and payment processing systems serving the nonprofit sector
• Drive technical execution across our PHP/React fundraising platform and .NET Core/React payments services, ensuring reliability, performance, and rapid feature delivery on AWS infrastructure
• Own the operational excellence of our payments systems, including uptime, transaction reliability, PCI compliance, and seamless onboarding for customers across the Bloomerang platform
• Contribute to and execute our AI-native product strategy, building co-pilot and agent capabilities that help nonprofits optimize campaigns, predict donor behavior, and automate fundraising workflows
• Champion and drive AI tool adoption across your teams, pushing engineers to fundamentally rethink how they build software using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, AI-powered code review and quality analysis tools, and emerging AI coding assistants, while partnering with other engineering leaders to define shared adoption quality and impact metrics
• Challenge teams to operate with a different mindset: faster iteration cycles, higher leverage per engineer, and a willingness to reimagine existing workflows rather than incrementally improve them
• Collaborate with Product leadership to develop predictive analytics, intelligent giving experiences, and AI-powered features that differentiate Bloomerang in the nonprofit fundraising market
• Establish technical roadmaps that balance payments platform stability and compliance requirements with aggressive innovation in AI-powered fundraising capabilities
• Ensure security and compliance across all systems, particularly in payment processing and donor data protection
