Objective:

We are looking for a highly motivated Front-end Software Developer who will work on our Development Team.

This role will be building on our burgeoning web services to design and create new front-end experiences for our client and internal applications.

​

Company Description:

High Point is an industry leading, ministry-minded travel resource for churches, mission agencies, Christian schools and para-church organizations. Our goal is to help ministries and churches with logistical aspects of trip planning, save them time and money in the process, and allow them to spend more time making Christ famous.

High Point is a growing company with a great family atmosphere. In 2024 we sent over 50,000 people on international missions, and many more on charter buses. We are not just trying to fill a functional job description; we are looking for an applicant who will become a key member of our team.

 

Duties and Responsibilities:

The focus of this position is to be involved in the UI/UX design and application development. The developer works in conjunction with our team to develop our in-house software and our client-facing applications, to enable our staff to work more efficiently and to engage with our clients more effectively. As a software developer in a growing company, you will be able to see the direct impact of the work you do and how it benefits others. As you grow in this role you will be cross trained to work on a variety of tasks throughout the application structure.

​

In this role you will:

• Work with team members and leadership to pursue development priorities

• Take ownership of a project to design, test, document, and implement new functionality

• Design and implement new user interfaces and new features

• Provide expert insight on user experience and work flows

• Update, troubleshoot, maintain, and improve existing software applications

• Share knowledge across the stack to ensure the team grows their skills together

 

What you bring to the team:

• 5+ years of industry experience developing web applications. We have a small team that loves to learn from each other!

• Expertise in designing intuitive and friendly user interfaces. We don’t have an in-house designer so an eye for design helps!

• Expertise in building frontend applications using React. Managing state and manipulating the DOM should be second nature.

• Experience with Typescript. We believe it provides a much better experience than javascript and hope you agree!

• Experience with Next.js. Data fetching and rendering strategies are important.

• Experience with git. We use Github for remote management.

• Familiarity with Tailwind CSS. Utility classes allow us to build quickly and stay flexible.

• Familiarity with Cypress. Tests are good!

 

Character Qualifications:

• High integrity

• Strong work ethic

• A heart to serve others

• Desire to learn and grow with our company

• Ability to work within our team

• Willingness to take initiative
