Why this is on the board
GiveDirectly gives money without conditions directly to people in extreme poverty, and every donation first passes through the systems that you, as one of the two fundraising engineers, build and maintain. If those systems falter on the busiest donation days, such as Giving Tuesday or the end of December, donations do not come in and less money reaches recipients.
This board is in beta and this is our judgement. If you think we have it wrong, tell us. Give feedback · How we reason about it
About the role
GiveDirectly has delivered more than $1B in cash directly to 2+ million people living in poverty across 15 countries since 2011. We believe cash transfers are one of the most scalable, cost-effective, and dignified forms of aid, with the research to back it up. Our work has been covered by The Economist , NPR , TED , and The Washington Post . We are one of Time100’s Most Influential Companies of 2026.
