Senior Software Engineer

Not all heroes wear capes — but plenty of them use toilet paper

Want to challenge yourself at a purpose-led scale up AND make a difference in the world? Come join the revolootion!

Funny name, serious business

We make eco-friendly products and donate 50% of our profits to provide clean water and help build toilets for the billions of people who lack proper access. So far, we’ve contributed over $13.3 million AUD (roughly $8.9 million USD) to fund sanitation projects around the globe. Basically, we’re really good at doing good.

With hubs in Australia, the Philippines, China, the US, UK and Europe, our amazing team of 200+ work to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next couple of years, we’re hoping to increase our annual donation tenfold to get us closer to our dream of everyone in the world having access to clean water and sanitation services.

A bit about the role

We are on the lookout for our next Senior Software Engineer!

The purpose of this role is to help us scale the crap out of our business by ensuring we deliver a seamless and delightful digital experience, always.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be driving high-quality maintainable code, efficient testing, and following industry best practices to help us deliver our toilet puns.

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in

• Migration of Shopify Features: Where it benefits our users, we migrate to the latest Shopify features to leverage their managed infrastructure.
• Launching New Products: You may have seen that Who Gives a Crap just launched Garbage Bags, this was a large project for the entire business, Digital Product included.
• Customized Experiences: While our foundation is native Shopify, we also enhance User Experience with bespoke customer flows, recently including a React-based Limited Edition Upgrade flow that supports configurable discounts. On the lighter side we recently built a React-based Fart Machine!
• Expanding Serverless API: We recently expanded our Serverless API capabilities using Google Cloud Run, Buildpack and Typescript Express.
• Tech Strategy: Our Digital Product team is ever growing and evolving and our tech strategy is a document that keeps on moving. It takes the entire Digital Product team to keep our strategy up to date and you’d be a big part of that.
• Testing and QA Automation: We’re really good at shipping features, but we always strive to be even better. We are currently building out automation to ensure that we ship even less bugs.
