Senior Data Engineer

Join Us at Gloo: Connecting the Faith Ecosystem with Advanced Technologies

At Gloo, we believe that a connected and thriving faith community can change the world, one life at a time. We recognize the faith ecosystem is broad and diverse. It includes churches, parachurch ministries and thousands of non-faith based organizations committed to advancing the flourishing of people. Our purpose is simple yet profound: to release the passion in every person to be all they were created to be.

We are a mission-driven organization, guided by four core principles:

• Shape Technology for Good: Whether it’s AI tools, dashboards, or communication tools, we empower leaders with values-aligned solutions that amplify their missional impact.
• Serve Those Who Serve: From pastors and donors to network leaders and content creators—we’re passionate about providing technology that helps them do more of what they are called to do. 
• Release Collective Strength: We connect the diverse faith ecosystem—churches, parachurch ministries and thousands of non-faith based organizations committed to advancing the flourishing of people—so they can achieve more together than they could alone.
• Enable Trusted Exchange: Trust is the foundation of a connected faith community. We enable transparency, digital rights management, and simplicity to foster confident collaboration.

We are looking for talented, purpose-driven individuals to join our team as we create innovative technology solutions that inspire and empower people to release the passion in every person, including you, to be all they were created to be. If you’re ready to make an impact with your talents and skills toward this purpose, we’d love to hear from you!
