Job Details

Want to help us help others? We’re hiring! 

GoFundMe is the world’s most powerful community for good, dedicated to helping people help each other. By uniting individuals and nonprofits in one place, GoFundMe makes it easy and safe for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves and each other. Together, our community has raised more than $40 billion since 2010.

Join us! We are looking for our first engineering leader in Argentina to join GoFundMe’s Incubation team and help bring groundbreaking 0→1 products to life. In this role, you’ll set the technical vision and build the foundation for innovations that will define our future—leading the development of Partnership APIs that connect GoFundMe to the platforms and channels where our donors engage, and standing up a new team tasked with architecting and delivering a first-of-its-kind marketing technology.

In this position, you’ll recruit, mentor, and grow a local engineering team to design and build reliable, scalable systems from initial concept through MVP launch, partnering closely with Product, Design, and Data to validate ideas quickly. Join us if you’re passionate about personal and professional growth and eager to make a direct impact on GoFundMe’s products and the people who rely on them.

This is a hybrid position; candidates considered for this role will be located in Buenos Aires.

The Job…

  • Build & lead your team. Recruit, hire, and mentor engineers in Argentina, establishing scalable practices for code quality, testing, and delivery.
  • Shape product strategy. Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to translate early-stage research into technical roadmaps and prototypes.
  • Architect from scratch. Guide your engineers in designing modular, maintainable, and scalable systems using GoFundMe’s cloud-native and GraphQL-first approach.
  • Drive execution. Own sprint planning, resource allocation, and risk management to deliver MVPs on time, balancing innovation with reliability.
  • Institute best practices. Champion CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and strong security postures from day one.

You… 

  • Leadership experience. 5+ years managing engineering teams, ideally leading initial hires and building teams from zero.
  • Hands-on technologist. 8+ years building scalable systems, with a track record of architecting and shipping new products.
  • Strategic mindset. Comfort with ambiguity—able to scope broadly, make technical trade-offs, and pivot based on feedback.
  • Cross-functional collaborator. Skilled at communicating technical plans to non-technical stakeholders and aligning diverse teams.
  • Startup spirit. You thrive in fast-moving environments, relish solving novel problems, and take pride in turning rough ideas into lasting solutions.

Preferred… 

  • Familiarity with Spring Boot, Kotlin, GraphQL, AWS, Kafka, and Kubernetes.
  • Prior success scaling engineering teams in LATAM markets.

Why you’ll love it here...

  • Ground-floor opportunity: You’ll be the first engineering manager in Argentina, shaping team culture, processes, and the way we invent new products.
  • End-to-end ownership: From initial discovery through MVP and beyond, you’ll guide your team as they turn nascent ideas into production-ready systems.
  • Make an Impact: Be part of a mission-driven organization making a positive difference in millions of lives every year.
  • Innovative Environment: Work with a diverse, passionate, and talented team in a fast-paced, forward-thinking atmosphere.
  • Collaborative Team: Join a fun and collaborative team that works hard and celebrates success together.
  • Competitive Benefits: Enjoy competitive pay and comprehensive healthcare benefits.
  • Holistic Support: Enjoy financial assistance for things like hybrid work, family planning, and commuting, along with generous parental leave, flexible time-off policies, and mental health and wellness resources to support your overall well-being.
  • Growth Opportunities: Participate in learning, development, and recognition programs to help you thrive and grow.
  • Commitment to DEI: Contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion through ongoing initiatives and employee resource groups.
  • Community Engagement: Make a difference through our volunteering and Gives Back programs.

We live by our core values: impatient to be great, find a way, earn trust every day, fueled by purpose. Be a part of something bigger with us!
