Company mission
To solve user management so developers can stop re-inventing the wheel and focus on their core business.
Role
Who you are
- You have experience making product decisions and driving a team forward, whether as an Engineer in the past or as a Product Designer
- You have experience with SaaS product monetization and pricing as a builder of a subscription product
- You understand the technical landscape of developer tools. We may not ask you to write production-grade code but you should be able to implement Clerk as a customer and empathize deeply with people building SaaS products, particularly front-end and the JS/TS market
- You’re a talented communicator and writer who understands the value of explaining complex topics simply
- You’ve had previous experiences that required you to fill gaps on a team. Sometimes that means being an ex-founder or being a driving force on a team that needed leadership
- You’re customer obsessed. You don’t overvalue your own ideas if they don’t match what is going to make your customer’s lives easier
- You believe in solving real customer problems, even if it means making tradeoffs behind the scenes
- You’re passionate about building for other engineers and obsess over making their experience better
- You care about craft in all it’s forms, such as product constraints, design polish, and engineering execution
- You love working on products you use yourself — because you know that’s how magic happens
- We’re looking for people that are comfortable working across the stack to solve product problems for real users
What the job involves
- Clerk is looking for engineering-minded Product Manager to help us bring new functionality to the Clerk platform, specifically our Billing product
- This role will have you work on nimble teams and connect directly with customers to define and execute functionality that developers love and support builders launching and growing their businesses
- We’re a small but growing team with big ambitions. This means you’ll have responsibility far beyond closing out pre-sliced tickets
- Collaborate with customers and teammates - be part of a world-class product delivery team that cares deeply about customer needs and the value of constant iteration
- We’re fully remote, which means you’ll need to practice good communication habits to keep things moving
- Execute - Clerk values product people who execute. That means approaching all of your work iteratively and reducing the time between feedback cycles
- Thrive in a dynamic environment - Clerk is not well suited for product people who expect every task to be a series of predefined steps
- We believe the best approach is to -work- through our customer’s problems in the trenches and not merely -think- through them from the sidelines
- Be Customer 0 - Clerk is built on top of Clerk. That means the work you do to solve our internal projects likely will also become functionality that we release to customers as well. This is one of the most unique and exciting parts of Clerk
- Be technical - Clerk is a collection of engineers doing engineering work, so that other engineers can do engineering work! Every staff member is expected to be as technical as the customers they are serving
- Embrace a culture of craft by focusing on engineering quality. We want our product to be best-in-class, and so we need our team to write maintainable, performant, and well-structured code
Our take
Authentication is only part of the story when it comes to user management. Developers using API tools also face the complex UI and management issues of additional features like user sign-up, sign-in, and session management, to name a few. Clerk was founded to make this simpler, reducing hours of work to minutes using pre-built React components.
Clerk stands out in a market dominated by the likes of Auth0 and OneSpan with its focus on React rather than API. This taps into a growing number of developers working with Jamstack rather than trying to wrestle customers away from market incumbents - a smart move which has seen its userbase swell by five times, growing to over a million developers.
This rapid growth has attracted investors, and Clerk closed a Series B round in 2024. This funding is being used to expand the company's services into authorisation - determining a user's permissions as opposed to simply identifying them. As account security and management will continue to be a major focus for developers going forward, Clerk is well positioned to grow into a major player in this space, especially as it continues to expand its product range.
