At Elevation Church, we look to link arms in ministry with those who are passionate about stepping into their God-given calling. While we’re a staff from all different backgrounds and walks of life, our mission is the same - to reach people with the Gospel. We’re grounded in scripture and guided by our values, so check out our website (www.elevationchurch.org) to be sure you’re aligned before you step into the application process with us, particularly paying attention to our Beliefs and our Code.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop, maintain, and enhance responsive user interfaces using React, Next.js, and Storybook
  • Build and publish reusable UI components and patterns in Storybook for use across multiple projects
  • Optimize frontend performance (bundle size, lazy‑loading, prefetching) to ensure fast load times and smooth interactions
  • Drive accessibility compliance (WCAG AA) by implementing semantic markup, ARIA attributes, and automated/manual testing
  • Collaborate closely with UX/UI designers to translate wireframes and mockups into pixel‑perfect, production‑ready code
  • Partner with backend engineers to integrate RESTful APIs or GraphQL endpoints, and troubleshoot end‑to‑end issues
  • Conduct and participate in code reviews, share constructive feedback, and uphold high standards for code quality
  • Monitor real‑user performance metrics and error logs, then iterate to improve key UX and reliability targets
  • Embrace our mission by identifying opportunities to leverage technology for maximum ministry impact and outreach

MUST-HAVES

  • Active participation in a church (we look for a lifestyle of inviting people to church, volunteering, generosity, and prioritizing community)
  • Minimum of 2 years of demonstrable work experience building production applications with React and Next.js
  • Strong obsession with accessibility (WCAG, ARIA) and hands-on experience building inclusive UIs
  • Proven track record of optimizing site performance and delivering fast, smooth user experiences
  • Solid understanding of UX best practices and a keen eye for detail in interface design
  • Passion for continuous professional growth—always learning, sharing knowledge, and leveling up your craft
  • Heart for using technology to reach people for Jesus and further our digital ministry’s mission
  • Grit and resilience: you persevere through complex problems and adapt to changing requirements
  • Exceptional collaborator: thrive in cross-functional teams, value diverse perspectives, and actively contribute to group success
  • Excellent communication skills: clear, respectful, and proactive in sharing updates, challenges, and ideas

NICE-TO-HAVES

  • Experience with Storybook
  • Portfolio of work (websites/apps) that showcases your problem-solving and creative approach
  • Link to an active GitHub profile demonstrating personal projects or open-source contributions

DAY-TO-DAY

  • We’re a Sunday-Thursday work environment. Monday-Thursday, we’re in the office (8:30AM - 5PM); on Sunday, we’re supporting the weekend worship experience either directly in our roles or by choosing a weekly serving opportunity at one of our Elevation Church campuses.
  • There’s a lot to accomplish each week, so we’re pretty fast-paced. We’re also not afraid to pivot a strategy or project quickly to meet the needs of the weekend - adaptability is a key competence for us.
  • Yes, we work hard. But we’re good at playing hard, too. We’re a creative staff, so there’s no shortage of activities around our offices to have some fun!
  • You can’t help but grow on our staff. You’ll be around some incredible people. Professional development opportunities will be all around you, both in structured and unstructured ways.
  • We expect you to be disciplined in your spiritual practices - be in your Bible, spend time with the Lord in prayer, meditate on and apply the weekly sermon.
  • Bring your full self to every project, conversation, and initiative at hand.
