Mobile Developer

The Planning Center Mobile Engineering Team is looking for a developer to join us in building powerful mobile applications!

Planning Center is a software company owned and founded by a developer. We build software tools to help churches organize information, coordinate events, and communicate with their congregations.

We’re a fully remote company that relies on tools like GitHub, Slack, Notion, Asana, and Zoom. We value asynchronous work while also encouraging pairing to shape work and tackle problems together. We gather at our main offices in Carlsbad, CA, four times a year to connect face-to-face and foster better working relationships.

At Planning Center, we…

Engage with humility: We actively participate with openness and receptiveness. We are ready to listen and learn, to speak thoughtfully and kindly—regardless of our skill level, expertise, or place on the org chart.

Invest in our team: We give our time and energy to our team’s success—improving collaboration with effective communication, making space for diverse perspectives, sharing knowledge, and asking questions.

Do our best work: We aspire to do our best possible work—continually looking for ways to improve the quality of our individual output and contribute to the overall success and growth of our team.

Focus on customer impact: We advocate for our customer’s best interests in our decision-making—we can trace the goal of every project back to creating positive value for our customers.

Think holistically, work iteratively: We focus on taking practical steps towards our goals with an awareness of the broader context—thinking big, working small.

You would be maintaining and expanding our flagship mobile products, reporting directly to the Engineering Manager of the Mobile Engineering Team.

We are heavily invested in React Native, Java, Kotlin, Objective-C, and Swift. The ideal candidate for this position has several years of experience with a deep understanding of React Native, Android development, and object-oriented programming. You’ll be taking on projects that touch our admin and congregant-facing React Native and native applications, ensuring we build in a way that scales as our user features change and app installs grow.

You’ll encounter a fair mix of building new features from start to finish, refining existing features, improving performance, and ensuring the security of our customer's data
