About GiveCampus

Raise more dollars and engage more constituents with GiveCampus, the only comprehensive fundraising technology platform built exclusively for educational institutions. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

GiveCampus has spent the last 18 months getting good at using AI. People use it every day, and we've shipped agents and apps that changed how work gets done: a codebase agent that answers questions no doc can, an RFP agent, a support knowledge bot, a feature request agent, and a data integrations assistant for our Partners.

  • A security mindset: you think about access, data boundaries, and failure modes before something ships
  • A record of building internal platforms or shared services that other people adopted
  • Experience growing a system from an early version into something a whole company depends on
