The Patrick J McGovern Foundation (PJMF) is seeking an experienced, multi-faceted, and self-driven Full Stack Developer (FSD) to join our Products and Services function. This role will be directly engaged with the development, deployment, and maintenance of data and AI products that will drive positive social impact around the world. The FSD is responsible for full-stack development of cloud solutions that are based around ML model predictions, using a rapid prototyping development approach. We are a small, high-performing team and in many ways function as a startup.

How You'll Make An Impact

  • Collaborative Development – Work closely with the Director, Lead Engineer & Data Scientist, Software Development Engineer, and DevOps Engineer to understand project requirements and contribute to the development of AI-based products. Contribute to the vision and execution of product architecture, UI/UX designs, infrastructure deployment, and ensuring high-quality work output.
  • Nonprofit Consultation Support  Contribute to consultations with nonprofit partners exploring data and technology solutions. The ability to explain technical concepts with empathy and clarity is critical, as this role helps equip partners with the tools and knowledge to succeed.

  • Product Integration – Develop and deploy full-stack applications for cloud-based solutions that align with the rapid prototyping development approach. Collaborate with the team to integrate ML model predictions into user-friendly interfaces, ensuring the reliability, safety, and scalability of the end products. 
  • User-Centric Design – Implement intuitive user interfaces for AI-backed web and mobile applications. Understand end-user needs and requirements to design and develop applications that effectively address challenges within the social good sector. Prototype, test, and iterate on full-stack solutions, incorporating user feedback for continuous improvement.

  • Prototyping – Ability to create both Low-Fidelity (LoFi) and High-Fidelity (HiFi) wireframes, building interactive prototypes for user testing, developer collaboration, and visual representation is a plus. Experience using Figma or equivalent tools for wireframing and collaboration is also a plus.
  •  Communication – Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to convey technical concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Teamwork – Effective team player who understands the responsibility every individual brings to the table and how to encourage and drive results from each team member; ability to work collaboratively within a high-performance, startup-like environment.
  • High Performance – Ability to quickly learn new technologies and methodologies to ensure the successful and timely completion of product development.
  • Results-oriented – Highly organized and detail-oriented, self-driven, and able to adapt to learning and implementing new technologies, and creative in solving issues as they arise.
  • Cultural alignment – An advocate for social progress; interest in emerging technologies and their ability to advance societal outcomes.
  • Work eligibility – Applicants must be based in the United States and authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

Salary Philosophy
PJMF is committed to fair and transparent compensation practices. Our salary ranges are informed by market data from peer organizations in our sector. Our salaries are competitive and equitable and align with peers in the same job group. Because salary ranges are small and the internal parity review is thorough, offers are firm.

Starting salaries are typically placed in the lower half of the range. Final offers are determined by the scope of the position, the candidate's relevant experience, and internal equity.

Our Commitment
We have built an environment that celebrates the differences in backgrounds and experiences. PJMF invests in activities that lead to greater inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in how AI and data are conceptualized, developed, applied, and deployed. We are applying the same framework as our team grows and expands. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we especially encourage and invite members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply.

It is important to us that our hiring process is accessible to everyone. If you require accommodations to participate in the interview process, please let us know when you apply.
