Called is hiring a
Remote Senior Backend Engineer (Python/Django)

📍 Remote

At Called, we believe that community in churches and ministries shouldn’t be limited to Sundays. 

With our all-in-one community platform for churches and ministries, leaders can forge deeper connections every day of the week with their members. We exist to help church and ministry leaders build an engaged community that fosters deeper discipleship. To drive this mission forward, we’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer to help us take it to the next level in the US market. 

Our people love this mission - and come to find out, they love working here as well. We are a small, but mighty team all committed to rebuilding faith communities. We do not take ourselves too seriously. We do not hire prima donnas. We work for the real Madonna!

Sound interesting? This role might be for you.
