About Differential
Differential is growing! Yep, it turns out clients 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. In addition to only choosing the best group of people to work around, we are also very picky about the types of clients we’ll work with. In line with our mission to rapidly unlock value for good people with meaningful ideas, we partner with forward-thinking corporate pioneers and innovators to revolutionize their organizations from the inside out and bring great digital products to life. This translates to 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.
We hire great, trustworthy people so that we can optimize for a free & flexible culture.
Job Description
The ideal candidate for this opening is someone who has a strong passion for writing code to bring software 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 efficiency and 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 developers.
You will focus on our Apollos line of business, a technology and content platform for the Church that equips people to develop healthy spiritual habits and stay better connected to their church community digitally. You will become an expert in guiding technology and strategy that impact churches all over with hundreds of thousands of followers using our products.
Above 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.
Our mission statement, core values, benefits, and more can be found at handbook.differential.com.
