At Planning Center, we build powerful web and mobile applications for churches. Each of our eight products has a dedicated team of designers and developers committed to refining and expanding that product in response to real customer needs. Our customers include over 90 of the 100 largest churches in the country, and tens of thousands of small community churches. We strive to make day-to-day operations easier for all of them.
We’re a development driven company, founded and led by a developer. Over half our staff are either devs or designers who code! We’re seeking another developer with expertise in Ruby, Rails, and React to help make our software even better.
The job:
Our products are built on Ruby and Javascript, so you'll spend most of your time working in these languages building new features with your team. With over 50,000 customers, there's no shortage of interesting scaling and security work to be done. You'll interact with our Platform team as you work on performance tuning, reliability, and improving the various subsystems and APIs we rely on. You'll occasionally collaborate with our Support team as you work on real world solutions for customers.
In your daily life at Planning Center, you can expect to:
- Take ownership of your projects, shaping what we’ll build and how we’ll build it
- Collaborate with your product manager, front-end designer, and fellow team developers.
- Engage in a healthy culture of code reviewing and pairing alongside a team of smart, thoughtful, like-minded developers.
Developers at Planning Center are:
- Invested. We care about the products we create and the people we create them for, and we all contribute to the vision and direction of our products. Every one of our developers is critical to their team.
- Curious. We aren’t afraid to ask questions, experiment, and iterate. We also love playing with fun new technologies &processes, and we take time every few months to do just that.
- Humble. We are always looking for opportunities to grow and learn from one another.
We believe the strongest teams are made up of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, and we are committed to cultivating that diversity here at Planning Center. We are ready for the ongoing work that goes into building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do your best work.
