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’re a Senior(+) level Product Designer with experience working in authentication, user management, or developer tools. You love your craft. You push Engineers to build experiences they’re unsure if they’re capable of (and you expect them to do the same for you)
- You’re in the Americas. The Clerk Design team is spread across the globe; Product Design currently spans UTC+1 to UTC+5:30. You live in a location that is ±3 hours within U.S. Mountain Time (MDT, UTC−06:00)
- You have technical fluency. You have a deep understanding of designing interactive software on the web. You don’t need to author production-ready front-end code, but it’s a big plus if you can
- You work iteratively. Your process embodies a “ship and iterate” mentality. You value the quick pace of a growing startup like Clerk
- You own your time. You’re a self-starter who would rather find a tough problem to solve instead of waiting for a new task. To be successful at Clerk, you need to make the most of the autonomy you’re given
What the job involves
- You’ll join Visual Designers, UI Engineers, and fellow Product Designers on the Clerk Design team to build our core product, the Clerk Dashboard. You’ll always keep developer experience first as you gain a deeper understanding of the business needs of user management. You’ll optimize for customer delight, flexibility, and ease-of-use within a complicated, technical domain
- Collaborate with teammates to design new features. You’ll work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering across project lifecycles from ideation to implementation
- Gather requirements. You’ll research the technology and customer impetus behind the features we release. You’ll attain a deep understanding of the problems we solve
- Structure and prototype. You’ll create flows and interactions that make sense of complex information, whether it’s a static component or a multi-page view
- Not settle for less than pixel-perfection. You’ll work with a world-class UI Engineering team to bring your Figma frames to life. You set the bar for quality
- Elevate our design culture. You’ll support and expand the Clerk Design visual language, component library, accessibility practices, design system, and design processes
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.
