ActBlue powers the fundraising of the political and social left. If you’ve ever given online to a Democratic candidate or organization, chances are you’ve used our software.

Backend: Rails 4.2, PostgreSQL, Redis, Fastly

Frontend: Bootstrap, jQuery, Sass, D3, Highcharts

Ops: Chef, Rackspace cloud and AWS

ActBlue is a political non-profit that is well capitalized. This gives us the freedom to explore new electoral technology without influence from big donors or investors.

ActBlue ( https://secure.actblue.com ) powers the fundraising of the political and social left. If you’ve ever given online to a Democratic candidate or organization, chances are you’ve used our software. We are growing like crazy! We need a few more good software engineers who want to influence politics and online organizing.

We use best in class tools and methods:

• Backend: Rails 3.2 with Ruby 1.9, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Redis

• Frontend: Bootstrap, jQuery, Sass, D3, Highcharts

• Operations: Chef, Rackspace cloud and AWS

• Tools: Github, Tddium

While this is a list of what we currently use, we are open to hearing from great people who come from different stacks.

You'll be an essential contributor to a small team of professionals in our Davis Square office. You'll have significant responsibility right out of the gate and a voice in designing our architecture. We offer autonomy, responsibility, an amazing workplace (full of people geeking out about politics and tech all day) plus these benefits:

• Extremely competitive salary

• 401K matching

• 100% paid medical, dental and vision benefits for you and dependents!

• Unlimited paid time off

• Public transit pass (Charliecard or Commuter Rail)

• Professional Development (conferences, classes, etc...) 100% paid

• Choose your own computer setup

• Family friendly flexible schedule

• Healthy and not-so-healthy snacks

Some neat things about us:

• ActBlue is a political non-profit that is well capitalized. This gives us the freedom to explore new electoral technology without influence from big donors or investors.

• We are an established 9 year old organization. We have a startup / political campaign mentality without the pressure and long hours. Sustainability is valued.

• Our employees have lives outside of work. We have parents, dog owners, marathon runners, RC plane pilots, Artisan Asylum members and german linguists.

• We sponsor RailsBridge Boston, a workshop designed to encourage more women to become Ruby developers in Boston.

ActBlue is the software and operations engine that powers the fundraising for thousands of Democratic and progressive campaigns and committees. In the 2011-2012 election cycle we moved over $175 million for nearly 5,000 campaigns with an average contribution size of $48.90. Our fundraising software is used by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and countless Senate, House, State and Local campaigns in all 50 states.
