About Fundraise Up

We’re Fundraise Up - a global fundraising platform built to make donating to nonprofits fast, seamless, and accessible to all. Every month, our technology powers tens of millions of dollars in donations across the globe. We focus on innovation that directly impacts results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, global payment support, and accessibility-first design.

Our platform is trusted by many of the world’s leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer’s Association, and a wide range of global NGOs. With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we’re recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver.

A Truly Global Product

We operate in the enterprise segment, serving nonprofit organizations across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.

We’re building a large and complex product ecosystem that serves nonprofits, donors, and partners around the world. The platform includes a modern checkout experience and customizable widgets (each a standalone SPA), donor, organization, and partner portals, admin tools, and several internal apps.

Our backend is powered by Node.js (Koa, NestJS) and MongoDB. The frontend stack includes Webpack, Vue.js, and React, with nearly all code written in TypeScript. For high-throughput messaging and background processing, we use Kafka (for millions of events) and Bull (Redis). Analytics data is stored in ClickHouse, and we use Elasticsearch for search.

The Team

We are a distributed team of 160+ product professionals, including 80+ engineers. Our team members are mainly based across Spain, Poland, Portugal, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Turkey, and Cyprus. Many of our developers bring 5 - 10+ years of experience, and we foster a culture of deep technical curiosity and knowledge sharing.

Despite our scale, we operate like a focused team - where every task matters and every voice is heard. We value thoughtful collaboration, strong engineering practices, and a product mindset. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.

About the Role

As a Senior QA Engineer (Quality Enablement), you will work in a cross-team role focused on improving product quality through processes, practices, and engineering influence across the entire organization.

QAE does not write product tests for teams on a regular basis. Instead, the role focuses on:

Helping teams build effective testing strategies

Reviewing test scenarios, automated tests, and technical decisions

Analyzing quality metrics and driving improvements

Educating teams on testing and automation best practices

Preventing production incidents and reducing technical debt

Contributing to test frameworks (helpers, utilities)

What You'll Do

Help product teams define and improve testing strategies (unit / integration / E2E)

Review test scenarios, automated tests, and quality-related technical decisions

Analyze defects, flaky tests, and testing results

Drive improvements based on quality metrics and recurring issues

Support teams in building reliable and scalable test automation

Contribute to test frameworks and shared tooling (helpers, utilities)

Collaborate with engineers, product teams, and QA engineers

Educate and mentor teams on testing practices and automation approaches

Ensure test automation does not negatively impact CI performance

At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function, and grow their fluency as the tools evolve. You should already be using AI meaningfully in your work and understand where it adds value and how it can improve the way you operate.
