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: flexible hours, unlimited vacation, remote work, and working on stuff you’re excited about.

The ideal candidate for this opening is someone who thrives on helping others succeed through clear communication, thoughtful problem-solving, and empathetic support. You care about delivering exceptional service and making systems and documentation better for everyone. You’re energized by solving real user problems and take pride in creating smooth, responsive customer experiences. You also bring a continuous improvement mindset to every part of your work—from process to product feedback.

We believe support is not just about fixing issues, but about improving the entire customer journey. That means collaborating with product and QA, building great documentation, and actively shaping how we triage, resolve, and communicate around issues. Our process values cross-functional teamwork, continuous delivery, and a user-first mindset.

Above all, we are focused on finding someone we love to work with. Culture 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 who and how we hire. We want to consider passionate people for this position.

Our mission statement, core values, benefits, and more can be found at handbook.differential.com.
