Job description

Thank you for your interest in joining BibleProject. We are a nonprofit, crowdfunded organization that makes the biblical story accessible to everyone, everywhere. We produce videos, podcasts, classes, blogs, and educational resources that explore the Bible's unified story.

Please look at what roles we currently have available and apply today!

As a Full Stack Developer, you’ll work alongside a team of software engineers on the Shared Services Squad, responsible for building out our federated Apollo GraphQL layer and associated full stack platform experiences, such as login, giving, and user activity across our web, app, and classroom products.

Through collaboration, you’ll launch projects that operate with high performance, reliability, and security at scale, while also implementing frontend components with attention to detail around UI/UX.

You’ll be part of the rotating production support team for our service architecture and help define the standards by which BibleProject designs, delivers, and supports frontend and backend services. You will serve as a subject matter expert on the business functionality you define and implement, collaborating closely with the leads in engineering, product, and design.

Above all, you’ll help shape BibleProject’s product engineering culture—setting and maintaining a high bar with regard to standards and people, creating an environment where great technical professionals like yourself can ship work worthy of our mission at a sustainable pace, aligned with our values: creative, humble, thoughtful, unifying, generous, and unhurried.

Core Responsibilities

Leadership

• Strive for best-in-class cross-functional collaboration with product designers, product managers, UX researchers, and content authors to ship great code and experiences.
• Participate in the biweekly rhythms of planning and execution for cross-functional product teams as an individual contributor.
• Collaborate with engineers focused on practices and tooling to enhance an optimal environment for building, shipping, and supporting production software.
• Participate in the engineering-team-wide on-call rotation for BibleProject products.

Responsibility

• Build, augment, and refine GraphQL services using Apollo GraphQL libraries and patterns.
• Implement full stack platform experiences that serve our audience across web, app, and classroom products.
• Leverage your understanding of GraphQL patterns to improve the performance, security, and reliability of existing services.

Expertise

• Serve as a subject matter expert on the business functionality you define and implement.
• Define and uphold standards by which BibleProject designs, delivers, and supports frontend and backend services.
• Work within BibleProject's values to ensure technical excellence across projects, focusing on scalability, reliability, and user experience.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of overall experience as a full stack software developer.
• Production experience building scalable GraphQL servers (understanding best practices for schema and resolver design, using dataloader, etc.).
• 3+ years experience building frontend components with React.
• Experience in a SaaS company that leverages agile development processes and DevOps practices.
• Proven ability to deliver code independently, including estimating your work.
• Experience with cloud providers like AWS or GCP and open source database technologies.
• Experience collaborating closely with product designers, product managers, and frontend developers in a cross-functional Squad model.
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Apollo GraphQL libraries and patterns.
• Familiarity with federated GraphQL in a microservices environment.
• Experience with Apollo Federation.
• Experience building mobile apps for iOS and Android.
