MarketSmart is like HubSpot, SurveyMonkey and Tableau mixed together and specially designed for nonprofits to help their fundraisers zero-in on the wealthiest and most passionate prospective donors.

There’s a start-up vibe here but we are profitable and our growth is stable (+32% in 2016, +25% in 2015 and this year we are aiming to grow by 50%+). There are 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States alone. So, with fewer than 200 customers spending an average of about $25,000/year each, there is lots of room for expansion. We are well funded and already have many of the most recognized charities around the world as clients (in four countries).

We are looking for someone with technical chops and leadership abilities; someone who enjoys collaborating and teaching others, is hungry, eager to grow and wants to develop products that will make the world a better place.

  -Experience developing scalable and high-performing Python web applications
  -Flask (or similar experience with other Python web frameworks) for rapidly developing web applications
  -Experience with REST based APIs consumption and creation
  -Strong database skills with MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
  -Deep commitment to test-driven development
  -Experience working with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery
