About Ascend
Ascend is the world’s first gamified Bible study app — often described as “Duolingo for the Bible.” Our mission is to build the best Christian software on the market by combining proven game mechanics, thoughtful product design, and modern technology to make Bible learning engaging, habit-forming, and genuinely enjoyable.
We move fast, ship often, and iterate based on real users and real data. We’re a lean, mission-driven team where every contribution matters and your work directly impacts how people grow in their faith.
Communication is casual — just be yourself 🙂
Role Description
This is a remote Full-Stack Engineering Internship with a clear path to full-time employment and equity for strong performers. You’ll work closely with Gideon (Founder & CEO) and Jediah (CTO) on production features used by real users.
This is not a “watch and learn” internship. You’ll be writing real code, shipping to production, and helping shape the product.
What You’ll Work On (Day-to-Day)
- Build and improve frontend features for our web and mobile experiences
- Develop and maintain backend logic, APIs, and services
- Work with databases (Firebase / Firestore or similar)
- Implement new product features and rapid experiments
- Debug, optimize, and refactor existing systems
- Collaborate directly on product decisions, not just tickets
You’ll Help Drive
- Core product development: shipping features end-to-end
- Performance & reliability: improving speed, stability, and scalability
- Product iteration: rapidly testing ideas based on user feedback and data
- Developer velocity: improving internal tooling and workflows
- Technical quality: clean, readable, maintainable code
Required Qualifications
- Strong fundamentals in JavaScript / TypeScript
- Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, or similar)
- Experience or familiarity with backend development (Node.js or equivalent)
- Understanding of APIs, databases, and basic system architecture
- Comfortable working independently and learning quickly
- Strong ownership mindset — you finish what you start
Bonus
- Experience with Firebase / Firestore
- Experience building consumer or mobile-first products
- Familiarity with React Native or mobile development
- Understanding of product experimentation or analytics
- Prior startup, indie hacker, or personal project experience
What Won’t Work Here
- Needing constant hand-holding or rigid task definitions
- Slow iteration cycles — we move quickly
- Only academic or theoretical experience with no real projects
- Lack of ownership or follow-through
Ascend Principles
#1 We are here to build the best Christian software on the market — nothing less.
#2 We are a team. Speak up, ask questions, and challenge the product.
#3 Ascend follows the principles of the Bible above all.
#4 Never take “no” as the final answer — there is always a solution.
