About ActBlue

ActBlue is a non-profit organization that pioneers fundraising technology for the left, empowering small-dollar donors to make their voices heard. You've likely used their platform if you've contributed to a Democratic campaign or progressive organization online. ActBlue's tools enable thousands of groups, from local candidates to national movements, to mobilize communities and drive grassroots funding. Since its founding in 2004, ActBlue has processed over $16 billion for Democratic candidates and causes. Their commitment to testing and retesting contribution forms maximizes conversion rates, making giving easy and accessible across all devices, and always free for campaigns. This dedication has made ActBlue the platform of choice for a majority of Democratic Senate and House campaigns, alongside various other Democratic and progressive organizations.

How We Work

ActBlue operates as a remote-first organization, fostering an inclusive and forward-thinking environment where employees can thrive. They prioritize a supportive culture, recognizing its direct impact on individual performance. While remote, the company strives to make remote work feel connected. ActBlue embraces flexible work schedules and an unlimited time-off policy, encouraging employees to prioritize rest and recharge. Their core values emphasize working collaboratively, serving with conviction, innovating responsibly, and nurturing an inclusive environment. Employee resource groups (ERGs) are actively supported to build community and celebrate diverse perspectives.

Engineering at ActBlue

ActBlue's engineering team builds and maintains the critical infrastructure that processes millions of dollars in contributions daily for thousands of campaigns.

Engineers focus on developing features that support both traditional and emerging fundraising methods, working across the stack with technologies like React, TypeScript, and Ruby on Rails. There's an emphasis on quality code, thorough testing, and documentation to ensure platform performance and maintainability. They are also expanding their data capabilities, building scalable machine learning infrastructure and fostering a data-centric culture to provide organizational insights and power data-driven product experiences. This includes evolving data systems for consolidation, governance, and unified data models.
