Job description
Help Us Build the Relational Operating System for Churches and Ministries
At Called, we’re building the relational operating system for churches and ministries.
Our platform helps ministry leaders know their people, build stronger community, and foster deeper discipleship throughout the week, not just on Sundays.
Most churches serve hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Yet very few people in these communities feel truly known. People often drift away not because they reject belief, but because nobody notices they disappeared.
We’re a small, high-trust team building meaningful software with modern tools, AI-assisted workflows, and a strong sense of mission. We move fast, care deeply about quality, and believe technology should strengthen human relationships, not replace them.
If you want to help rebuild community in a disconnected world through thoughtful software, we’d love to meet you.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to build and maintain features across the Called platform. This is a full stack engineering role working across React and TypeScript applications, Python and Django services, APIs, and PostgreSQL databases.
You should be comfortable building features across the stack, from database models and backend logic to responsive, accessible interfaces.
A major part of this role will be taking features from implementation through testing and release. That includes making technical decisions, troubleshooting issues across application layers, and ensuring changes are reliable and maintainable.
We’re looking for engineers with hands-on AI experience who build repeatable workflows to accelerate development, improve quality, and reduce repetitive work.
This is a senior individual contributor role, not a people-management role or formal technical lead role.
What You'll Do
Build and improve features using React, TypeScript, React Query, CSS Modules, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and related tools.
Create responsive, accessible interfaces that work well across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Own full stack features from planning through implementation, QA, release, and iteration.
Design, build, and maintain backend services, REST APIs, and integrations.
Develop and maintain database models, migrations, and queries.
Implement application logic, data validation, authentication, and permissions across frontend and backend systems.
Write and maintain automated tests for frontend and backend functionality.
Troubleshoot issues across the stack, reproduce bugs, validate fixes, and prevent regressions.
Improve application architecture, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
Build AI-assisted development workflows and review generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability.
Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, testing, and team knowledge-sharing.
Our Engineering Philosophy
We believe modern engineers should be dramatically amplified by AI.
Our team actively uses AI-assisted workflows for development, debugging, prototyping, testing, documentation, automation, and rapid product iteration.
We care far more about builders who can move fast, learn quickly, and solve problems than Engineers obsessed with rigid specialization.
We Value:
Ownership over bureaucracy
Shipping over perfectionism
Curiosity over ego
Product thinking over ticket completion
Mission and craftsmanship equally
What We're Looking For:
5+ years of software engineering experience, or equivalent experience building and shipping meaningful production software.
Strong experience with React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and responsive design.
Strong backend development experience with Python. Experience with Django or other backend frameworks, with a willingness to work in Django.
Experience designing, building, and maintaining REST APIs and integrations.
Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including schema design, migrations, and query performance.
Understanding of frontend architecture, component design, state management, data fetching, performance, and accessibility.
Experience writing automated tests and debugging issues across frontend, backend, and database layers.
Experience using Git in a collaborative development environment.
Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and agentic workflows to implement, debug, test, and ship software.
Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and a willingness to own quality before release.
A passion for building technology that supports a mission-driven organization.
People Who Thrive Here
Senior individual contributors who enjoy ownership without needing a management title
Full stack engineers whose strongest instincts are frontend, mobile, and user experience
Builders excited by AI and modern engineering workflows
Product-minded engineers who think beyond the ticket
Team players with low ego and high standards
Engineers who care about reliable systems and usable interfaces.
Bonus Skills
Experience with Capacitor and hybrid mobile app workflows, including testing, builds, app store submissions, and mobile release management.
Experience with React Native, Expo, Ionic, Progressive Web Apps, or similar hybrid mobile workflows.
Experience with mobile-first design, design systems, component libraries, or reusable frontend patterns.
Familiarity with Docker, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines.
Experience building AI-powered features or internal AI developer workflows.
What You'll Love About Us
100% remote position
Small team with real ownership and influence
Fast decision-making and minimal bureaucracy
AI-forward engineering culture
Strong work/life boundaries
Generous PTO and 12 paid holidays
Company-wide shutdown between Christmas and New Year’s
Health benefits
Opportunity for rapid growth and mentorship
Mission-driven work with real-world impact
