Do you believe that people should compassionately support one another to create a better world?
Well, we do!
Serving as the world’s most trusted fundraising platform, GoFundMe is committed to creating a better world by making it safe and easy for people to support causes they’re passionate about.
When someone sees a need-whether it’s in their neighborhood or across the globe-they can turn their compassion into action through GoFundMe.
Our customers have raised over $10 billion for their personal causes, making GoFundMe a top 200 website in the US based on traffic, with a monthly audience of over 100 million people.
At GoFundMe, engineers have the chance to work on various teams and stacks.
Although most of our software is written in Ruby, we believe in using the best tool for the job.
