Stewardship has a mission to activate giving, making it joyful and easy – helping Christians support the causes they love, right when they need it. Our givers tell us that they manage almost all of their finances through apps, so why shouldn’t their giving be managed through an app too? Our users love our MVP single-platform Giving app, but we need to rebuild and scale in cross-platform to become production-ready. We also need to build a range of other MVP apps to serve other types of givers and partners, so there’s lots to do!
We’re looking for a passionate, experienced React Native developer to take us to the next level. Someone with the tenacity to quickly build MVPs, but also the competence to build reliable, production-ready apps that serve our many givers and partners.
