What is a Software Engineer at Stand Together?
At Stand Together, technology is a primary vehicle for driving systemic social change. As a Software Engineer, you do not just write code for commercial gain; instead, you build and optimize platforms, cloud infrastructure, and data systems that empower a vast philanthropic network. This network tackles some of the country’s most pressing challenges, including poverty, education reform, criminal justice, and economic opportunity.
Your work directly impacts how community organizations, policy experts, and philanthropists collaborate. Whether you are scaling cloud capabilities as a Senior Cloud Engineer or securing deployment pipelines as a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, your technical decisions influence the speed and security at which these social initiatives operate. The engineering team acts as a strategic internal consultancy, meaning you will regularly translate complex societal problem-solving frameworks into scalable software solutions.
This environment requires a rare blend of technical competence and deep social awareness. You will work on modernized cloud infrastructures, primarily built on AWS, while navigating a highly collaborative, mission-driven organizational culture. Candidates who thrive here are those who view software engineering not as an isolated technical task, but as a tool to unlock human potential and drive societal progress.
