At Planning Center, we build powerful web and mobile applications for churches. Each of our eight products has a dedicated team of designers and developers committed to refining and expanding that product in response to real customer needs. Our customers include over 90 of the 100 largest churches in the country, and tens of thousands of small community churches. We strive to make day-to-day operations easier for all of them.
We're a development driven company, founded and led by a developer. Over half our staff are either devs or designers who code! We are constantly trying to improve our practices and we are looking for a Platform/Site Reliability engineer to help us.
