GoFundMe application questions — all 25, word for word
GoFundMe hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 25 questions, 13 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
63 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and data. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What GoFundMe has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as GoFundMe titles them, in San Francisco, CA, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Remote, Dublin, Ireland:
- AI Specialist, Masters or PHD Emerging Talent (LATAM, 2027)
- Data & Analytics Specialist Emerging Talent (LATAM, 2027)
- Director, Product Design
- Executive Assistant, P&T
- IT Administrator I
- MBA Product Management Internship, Summer 2027
- Manager, Compensation
- Manager, Machine Learning Engineering
- Principal Product Marketing Manager
- Senior Machine Learning Engineer
- Senior Manager, Data Science
- Senior Manager, Software Engineering (Integrations Platform)
16 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “By typing my name below, I confirm that the facts set forth in this application, including any additional information provided in my resume or other supplementary materials, are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if I am employed, false statements, omissions or misrepresentations may result in my dismissal. I authorize GoFundMe to verify all information I have provided and to contact any provided references.”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether GoFundMe does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — GoFundMe's asks for 13 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
