Job description

iKnow Church is part of the UK’s leading Christian software company. Our iKnow and Church Edit platforms are trusted by 1,000s of churches across the UK to help them communicate, stay organised, and support their mission.

At our heart, we’re a small, dedicated team who care deeply about creating tools that empower churches to flourish. Whether a church is building community, caring for members, or reaching out to their local area, our software is designed to help them do it well.

Job Description

We’re looking for a talented, experienced Senior Developer who wants their skills to make a real difference.

If you’re energised by building intuitive, meaningful software – and love the idea of your work supporting churches and charities every day – then we’d love to meet you.

As a core part of our development team, you’ll work on our two major platforms:

Church Edit – our church website platform
iKnow Church – our church management system and mobile app
Our products are continually evolving, so you’ll be helping to shape new features, refine existing ones, and innovate in ways that genuinely help church teams and volunteers.

Being part of a small team means your work won’t disappear into the background. You’ll regularly see the visible impact of the features you build – often receiving direct feedback from the churches whose day‑to‑day ministry is made easier because of what you’ve created.

We’re passionate about crafting quality software, and we’re looking for someone who shares that passion, with at least 5 years’ experience in a commercial development environment.

Here are a few things Developers have recently said about working at iKnow:

“Going from a larger company who had no idea what they were doing from top to bottom to a smaller company who know exactly what they are doing in every aspect.”

“As a small company, your work will have immediate impact upon the real users. Your ideas about improvements will be seriously listened to, without being dismissed out of hand. Managers actually listen to what you are saying, and actual have an idea what you are talking about”

“Working as a developer with Edit Websites is a rewarding experience, allowing me to work on a variety of challenges from small changes to whole module redesigns, which constantly encourages personal growth and learning. Working within such a friendly team also creates a unique positive, supportive and collaborative atmosphere.”

Skills – What We’re Looking For

• Excellent all-round programming ability
• PHP, SQL, Laravel, React Native, Bootstrap, MySQL, Git, Docker, AWS
• Strong testing methodology (ideally unit testing)
• Confident communicator (written and verbal)
• Able to work independently and collaboratively
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring new technologies
• Experience of mentoring junior developers and passionate about supporting and directing other members of the development team
• Unquestionable Integrity
• Note: If your primary language isn’t listed but you’re highly skilled in transferable technologies, do still get in touch – we value talent over checklists.
