The GoFundMe team is searching for our next Senior Manager, Software Engineering (Integrations Platform) to lead the engineering team responsible for the systems and platform that power critical integrations across GoFundMe. You'll shape the technical direction of our Integrations Platform while leading a talented team that builds and operates Public APIs, Webhooks, Salesforce integrations, and strategic integration solutions that connect GoFundMe with customers, nonprofit partners, and third-party platforms. This is a highly collaborative leadership role where you'll combine people leadership, technical strategy, and hands-on engineering to build reliable, scalable integration experiences that support millions of people helping one another. Candidates considered for this role will be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. There will be an in-office requirement of 3x a week. The Job * Lead, grow, and support a team of ~5-8 software engineers building and operating the Integrations Platform, fostering a high-performing, inclusive, and collaborative environment. * Own delivery and execution of the integrations roadmap, balancing partner needs, new platform capabilities, reliability work, and technical debt. * Operate as a player-coach. Stay hands-on in architecture reviews, technical proposals, and design documents, and prototype where it adds the most leverage, while maintaining enough technical depth to make sound trade-off decisions. * Partner closely with your Senior ICs to set technical direction, drive architectural alignment, and hold a high bar for engineering quality and operational excellence. * Recruit, hire, and onboard exceptional engineers, and develop them through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, growth plans, and performance management. * Guide the team through the incremental migration to the next-generation integrations platform, managing scope, risk, phased cutovers, and rollback strategies without disrupting customers or nonprofit partners. * Drive operational excellence for correctness-critical systems, including healthy on-call practices, SLO-based monitoring, incident response, and blameless retrospectives. * Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Go-to-Market, Customer Success, and other engineering teams to deliver seamless integration experiences. * Partner directly with customers and external technology partners to troubleshoot complex integration challenges and deliver effective solutions. * Champion AI-assisted software development practices using tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot by supporting repository conventions, review discipline, and engineering guardrails that let AI agents contribute safely at scale. * Represent the team's work, priorities, and needs to the broader organization., Depending on your location, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or certain US privacy laws may regulate the way we manage the data of job applicants.
