InterExchange - Engineering - Software Engineer

InterExchange is a non-profit organization passionate about connecting young people from all over the world with life-changing international exchange opportunities.

Participants on our programs work as international staff at American summer camps, volunteer on community projects in rural India, sell ice cream on the boardwalks of California, do post graduate internships at green technology companies in New York and provide childcare as au pairs in the U.S. and abroad – to name a few!

At InterExchange, we believe that living and working alongside people in another country increases global understanding. We are dedicated to providing the best exchange experiences possible – and to creating positive global impact in the process.

To that end we are looking for experienced Software Engineers to join us in building our online offerings across the five departments we work with. Our Ruby on Rails and PHP applications serve thousands of users a day who are working with us to simplify and enhance these cultural exchange opportunities.

You would be responsible for bridging the technological gaps between these systems, acting as both a teacher, a learner and a team member with a voice in how we build software.

Your career development within InterExchange will begin on your first day, where we will be working with you to grow you into the lead roles of our various projects.

Our ideal candidate would be experienced and interested in:

  • Expanding people's perspective through international cultural exchange
  • Simplifying processes that protect people's wellbeing
  • Building large Ruby on Rails applications
  • Building responsive and dynamic Javascript interfaces
  • Writing and optimizing PostgreSQL queries
  • Adapting to different languages and frameworks
  • Working both with a pair and independently
  • Test driven and agile development

Perks include:

  • Competitive Salary
  • 35 hour work week
  • Flex time
  • Excellent Medical and Dental insurance
  • Flexible Spending Account
  • 401k Retirement Savings Plan
  • Educational Assistance Program
  • Relaxed office in SoHo
