Working at ChurchDesk
Our mission is to help churches modernize and stay connected with their communities in a rapidly changing world. As a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company, we provide digital tools that enable churches to streamline their operations, communicate more effectively, and engage with their congregations. Over the past 12 years, we’ve grown from a startup into an international business, but there’s still a lot of work ahead. Join us to work on transformative projects, have fun, and develop both yourself and your career.
What we offer
- An opportunity to make a big impact on a product that serves some of the largest and oldest institutions in the world.
- A supportive, low-ceremony, and lean-process work environment.
- 6 weeks of paid vacation + your local public holidays to support your work-life balance.
- A great social environment with annual company kick-offs, team trips, and friendly challenges like board games.
Job requirements
- 6+ years of experience in software development and demonstrated successful end-to-end deliveries of new implementations
- Deep understanding of modern frontend development practices, including state management, component design, and performance optimization.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and experience with frontend tooling like Webpack, Babel, and ESLint.
- Familiarity with React Native is highly appreciated, as our mobile apps and in-person donation terminals are built using it.
- Strong ability to collaborate with product managers, providing technical insights to help shape and refine product features.
- Familiarity with backend integration and RESTful APIs.
- Reside permanently and currently somewhere in the EU. Alas, we're not set up to hire outside of the EU since we believe that it's imperative that we meet in person once in a while.
- At least one year of remote work experience is required if you plan to work remotely.
