Yep, it turns out customers like us :) Our team of designers, developers, jokesters, and all around good folk needs more firepower. We’re proudly headquartered in Cincinnati, OH, but our team spans across the country.\nIn addition to only choosing the best group of people to work around, we are also very picky about the types of customers we’ll work with. In line with our mission to make technology that moves people towards one another, we partner with forward-thinking pioneers and innovators to revolutionize their organizations from the inside out and bring great digital products to life, with a focus on the platform that connects people with their local church everyday. Throughout our history we’ve built a diverse range of products like transforming retail with Adidas, helping Lexmark innovate cross-industry, streamlining the sales process with Big Ass Fans, to multi-platform mobile apps for large audiences with Crossroads Church. Our Company’s focus is now on building the Apollos platform that connects people with their local church everyday.\nWe hire great, trustworthy people so that we can optimize for a free & flexible culture: flexible vacation, remote work, and working on meaningful stuff you’re excited about.\nThe ideal candidate for this opening is someone who has a strong passion for writing code to bring digital products to life-a passion for the entire product development process-from identifying the right “How will we…” questions to de-risk an implementation early to sequencing the work. We aim to have working software throughout the development process. Developers who thrive at Differential place equal emphasis between efficiencyand approachability. They flourish in a continuous-delivery process where collaboration and ego-free communication is valued. They can engage in product thinking as a team and with cross-functionality among product managers, designers, and our client partners.\nAbove all, we are focused on finding someone that we love to work with. Culture to us isn’t a ping pong table in the breakroom or some words we put up on the wall. It’s embedded in our DNA and starts with our hiring process. We want to consider passionate people for this position.\nOur mission statement, core values, benefits, and more can be found at handbook.differential.com.\nRequirements\nWhat we’re after:\nPassion for the whole product process: we know you will have your specific areas of focus, but we find that people who are passionate about the bigger picture collaborate best on our cross-functional teams\n\nDemonstrated ability to rely on an iterative process to maintain momentum on projects: our work is never going to be perfect, and we expect you to be able to prioritize what matters most in order to consistently and efficiently iterate and continuously deliver valuable working software\n\nFamiliarity with modern development tools, libraries, and frameworks: most of our team uses React, React Native, Redux, Node, GraphQL, GitHub, VS Code, CircleCI, Jest, etc.\n\nExperience with Stripe integrations and hands-on expertise in building, maintaining, and scaling payment systems, including implementing APIs and ensuring secure, seamless transactions.\n\nResponsibilities of this position include:\nGaining an understanding of who the users are, what their problems are, and why those problems exist\n\nPutting the user - and their problems/needs - first in order to create and drive empathy for the solution you’re building\n\nTranslating a well-designed solution of sketches, wireframes, or high-fidelity mockups into fully functioning immersive web and mobile experiences\n\nWriting approachable, modern JavaScript for web and mobile applications\n\nDeveloping and maintaining payment systems, including integrating and optimizing Stripe APIs for a smooth and secure user experience.\n\nWorking closely with a team of designers and developers\n\nMaintaining development workflow with Github\n\nEffectively communicating via Basecamp, Slack, Linear and video calls\n\nExecuting with quality and speed in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment\n\nIncorporating feedback into your work\n\nDelivering tested, maintainable, and documented software\n\nWhat you can expect to do:\nWork on cross-functional product teams focused on innovative digital products\n\nWork iteratively and collaboratively in focused assigned work, sprints and cycles\n\nContinuously learn and improve technical and communication skills\n\nDifferential employees are those who:\nCommunicate effectively with clients and teammates\n\nAre self-motivated\n\nLearn quickly and relentlessly\n\nAre curious about technology and the impact it can make on the world\n\nEnjoy taking ownership and responsibility for their work\n\nEnjoy collaborating with others on solving meaningful problems\n\nCandidates must be based in the United States and be available during standard business hours for both client and team meetings. Specific times vary based on client-specific timezone preferences. There is flexibility in working hours, but there is an expectation to be able to regularly attend client and team meetings.\nDifferential is an equal opportunity employer.
