About the role
Hello, we’re Instrumentl. 👋
We're a mission-driven startup helping the nonprofit sector to drive impact, and we're well on our way to becoming the #1 most-loved grant discovery and management tool. To get there, we're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to help us scale and evolve our data platform, which is in its early stages.
About us:
Instrumentl is a hypergrowth YC-backed startup with over 5,500 nonprofit clients, from local homeless shelters to larger organizations like the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. We are building the future of fundraising automation, helping nonprofits to discover, track, and manage grants efficiently through our SaaS platform.
Our charts are dramatically up-and-to-the-right 📈 — we’re cash flow positive and doubling year-over-year, with customers who love us (NPS is 65+ and Ellis PMF survey is 60+). Join us on this rocket ship!
About the role:
As a Senior Data Engineer at Instrumentl, you’ll play a key role in shaping the architecture, improving reliability, and building the systems that power data across the company.

You’ll partner closely with our engineering, product, and business teams to design and implement scalable systems for data ingestion, storage, processing, and analytics. Get to know us at instrumentl.com/about!
The Instrumentl team is fully distributed (though if you’d like to work from our Oakland office, we would love to see you there). For this position, we are looking for candidates based in the United States who have significant overlap with Pacific Time Zone working hours.
