About Dataro

Dataro is an ethically minded SaaS startup using machine learning to help not-for-profits raise more money and do more good. Our platform powers fundraising for organisations around the world, helping them run smarter campaigns and improve donor engagement using data-driven insights.

If you want to build meaningful technology with real social impact — while working in a modern, supportive engineering culture — we’d love to meet you.

The role

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help design and deliver the next generation of Dataro’s products. You’ll work across our Python backend, ReactJS frontend, and AWS-based infrastructure to ship features used by hundreds of non-profit organisations globally.

This is a hands-on senior role where you’ll contribute to architecture, code quality, and mentoring, while still shipping meaningful product improvements week-to-week.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and launch new features across our full stack (ReactJS / Python / AWS).

• Improve the performance, reliability, and maintainability of our platform.

• Contribute to architectural decisions across frontend, backend, and data flows.

• Work closely with product and data science to bring ML-powered features to life.

• Write clean, well-tested, well-documented code using modern engineering practices.

• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and mentoring of other engineers.

• Help shape engineering best practices and continuously improve how we build software.

What you’ll bring (day one)

• 5+ years of professional experience as a full stack or backend-leaning engineer.

• Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Experience building applications with ReactJS and modern frontend tooling.

• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS preferred).

• Familiarity with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Serverless Framework).

• Strong SQL experience (PostgreSQL highly valued).

• Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.

• Strong problem-solving ability and a pragmatic, product-focused mindset.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Must be Sydney-based.

Nice to have

(Not essential — we’ll happily help you learn.)

• Experience in the fundraising or not-for-profit sector.

• Experience with containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with modern frontend libraries/tools:

• React-Query / TanStack Query

• React-Hook-Form

• Component libraries, design systems

• Experience with data processing systems, ML-powered features, or analytics tooling.

Why you’ll love working with us

• Work on socially meaningful technology that directly helps charities raise more money.

• Small but high-calibre engineering team — real autonomy, real ownership.

• Modern stack (ReactJS, Python, Serverless AWS, Postgres, DuckDB, etc.).

• We want smart engineers who understand how software works at a deep level — and who aren’t afraid to use modern AI tools to ship better features faster.

• Flexible working arrangements (WFH + office in Sydney).

• Supportive, transparent, mission-driven culture.
