Job Description
Job Requirements
- At least 2 years of experience building technical integrations between fundraising CRMs and SaaS platforms, including hands-on work with data modeling, ETL pipeline construction, and end-to-end validation of data flows with customers.
- Strong Python development skills, including building production-grade data processing pipelines using libraries such as Pandas, Polars, or similar — not just scripting, but writing maintainable, extensible code.
- Proficiency with MySQL and SQL generally, including writing queries, joins, and understanding transaction behavior; experience with stored procedures and views is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services including ECS, S3, Glue, Athena, Airflow, CloudWatch, and CloudFormation; comfort navigating the AWS ecosystem to deploy, monitor, and debug containerized workloads.
- Experience with Docker and container-based deployment; able to build, run, and troubleshoot containerized services in a cloud environment.
- Deep familiarity with REST API integration patterns, including OAuth 2.0 token lifecycle management, rate limit handling, exponential backoff, and debugging API interactions at the HTTP level with fluency in JSON.
- Experience with Blackbaud (RE NXT / SKY API), Ellucian Banner, Salesforce, or other common fundraising CRMs, with a working knowledge of their data models and API behaviors.
- Working knowledge of SFTP-based file exchange and ETL workflows; able to build and debug file-based and API-based data pipelines.
- Experience implementing SSO integrations; familiarity with LDAP and/or Cognito is a plus.
- Strong instincts for building resilient, observable systems — structured logging, error tracking, and alerting are part of how you think about production code, not afterthoughts.
- Outstanding communication skills; able to translate technical implementation details for non-technical stakeholders and document solutions clearly.
- A proactive problem solver who works well across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.
- Knowledge of Major Gifts fundraising process and strategy a plus.
