Planning Center, founded in 2006, has grown to support more than 85,000 churches worldwide. As an independent, debt-free company with no outside investors, we help churches communicate with their congregations, organize information, and coordinate events. We’re committed to building strong web and mobile products that solve real problems.

Our team values the flexibility of remote work and uses tools like Asana, Slack, Notion, and Zoom to collaborate. We also meet quarterly at our main office in Carlsbad, California, to strengthen our working relationships.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our Church Center/Publishing product team. This role requires substantial experience (4+ years) with Ruby on Rails and a solid understanding of React.

– Investigating customer-reported bugs triaged and researched by our support team
– Diagnosing issues identified through our error monitoring tools
– Improving performance using guidance from Datadog and AWS Performance Insights
– Participating in book and code clubs to learn with and from other developers

Who we’re looking for: the best candidates reflect our core values—engage with humility, invest in the team, do our best work, focus on customer impact, and think holistically while working iteratively. We also believe the strongest teams are diverse, and we’re committed to building an inclusive, supportive environment where you can do your best work.
