Job Information

Truth Initiative Senior Software Engineer in Washington, District Of Columbia

JOB SUMMARY:

Truth Initiative® is America’s largest non-profit public health organization dedicated to making tobacco use a thing of the past. We speak, seek and spread the truth about tobacco through education, tobacco-control research and policy studies, community activism and engagement, and innovation in tobacco dependence treatment.

The Senior Software Engineer will join the Innovations Software Development Team to design, build, and deploy novel approaches to reducing tobacco use. The team is a small, collaborative, agile group, where each developer has a significant impact on our products.

This is a wonderful opportunity for developers who like to see their code through from idea to operation, enjoy iterative improvements to software and processes, and value roles where they help solve serious public health problems with software. We value diversity of background and experience.

DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES (*ESSENTIAL DUTIES):

  • Improve and maintain the EX-platform through full participation in the software development lifecycle – including architecture and design, coding, testing, code review, documentation, and deployment.*

  • Collaborate with others outside of the development team to understand the problems, propose solutions, and verify delivery.

  • Work directly on the product yourself by contributing code and developing features.*

  • Ensure quality by*:

  • Writing automated tests

  • Peer testing

  • Performing peer code review

  • Updating documentation

  • Monitor system alerts and diagnose production issues.

  • Mentoring junior developers.

    You should have some of these, but certainly not all are required.

  • A minimum of 7 years development experience, preferably in web development using a database-backed framework.

  • Experience with high-level languages, HTML/CSS, and Javascript as well as familiarity with relational databases. We use Python/Django and PostgreSQL.

  • Familiarity with basic version control concepts – preferably Git.

  • Unit testing experience and/or enthusiasm.

  • You love to learn and use new technologies.

  • You are looking for something more rewarding than just a web development job where the goal is to get more ad clicks.

  • You like working collaboratively on a team and welcome feedback on code reviews.

  • Bonus points if:

  • You consider yourself excellent at any of our major technologies: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Heroku, or Celery/RabbitMQ.

  • You’ve deployed code into production.

  • You have frontend experience (JS/CSS) beyond a typical backend developer.

This position is based in Washington, D.C. with a hybrid work schedule of 3 days in the office and two telework days.

COMPENSATION PACKAGE:

The salary range for this role is starting at $140,000-$160,000 on a national basis. Individual pay decisions are based on a number of factors, including but not limited to qualifications for the role, relevant work experience, skillset, internal equity, location, and certifications, consistent with applicable law. Salary is just one part of our total rewards package which additionally includes equity, performance bonus for eligible roles, and competitive benefits.
