Role
Who you are
- Our engineers obsess over the developer experience, actively seeking out feedback and new perspectives to inform the products we build
- We're searching for engineers who share this empathetic approach to solving problems
- Successful candidates will love taking ideas from zero to one, creating beautiful software experiences with modern tools, and care deeply about creating the best possible products
- 5+ years of industry software development experience
- Bachelors degree required
- Experience working on small teams in fast-paced environments
- Background in crafting both polished UI/UX and API services end-to-end
- Intellectually curious, independently driven, and passionate about great products

What the job involves
- The AuthKit team is responsible for building AuthKit: a set of UI and APIs that enable B2B developers to solve identity and authentication
- Our goal is to build the best possible developer and end-user experiences so customers can onboard seamlessly and kick-start their enterprise journey
- AuthKit has seen strong adoption and is now relied upon as critical infrastructure by many of the fastest-growing AI and software companies
- To support this scale, we're looking for product engineers who have experience scaling this type of infrastructure and who can drive application reliability, scalability, and performance
- This role straddles product and platform, with each informing the other
- Design and engineer delightful developer and end-user experiences
- Build a deep understanding of AuthKit's place in the market and increase its adoption
- Drive application reliability, scalability, and performance for a product relied upon at scale
- Accrete developer trust by serving a highly available, performant, and secure product
- Speak with customers regularly to get feedback, debug issues, and remove points of friction
- Collaborate with other product teams, solutions engineering, and our go-to-market team
- Work across both product and platform, letting each inform the other
- Work directly with leadership on greenfield ideas
Our take
The inspiration for WorkOS came from the founder’s previous email startup, Nylas, and the difficulties he faced in crossing what he calls “the enterprise chasm.” The challenge of serving enterprise clients, and meeting their stringent security and admin requirements, is one that many B2B SaaS startups face as they start to scale.
WorkOS steps in at this critical stage, providing a single API driven platform which enables its customers to easily integrate with the major vendors that provide enterprise security and admin solutions. For example, rather than building individual integrations with each of the single sign-on (SSO) providers, a customer would only need to integrate with WorkOS in order to support these solutions.
Enterprise features that WorkOS is providing building blocks for include Single Sign-On, Directory Sync, Audit Trail, and more. WorkOS is helping a wide range of SaaS providers break into enterprise channels and was bolstered by substantial Series B funding in 2022. In that same year, WorkOS acquired its first company, UI framework builder Modulz, a deal that's broadening the scope of API products WorkOS can offer.
