About WorkOS 🚀
WorkOS builds modern developer tools and APIs that make it easy for companies to become Enterprise Ready. Our platform powers authentication, identity, authorization, and other critical infrastructure that developers need to securely scale their products to large organizations.
We recently raised a $100M Series C, valuing the company at $2B, led by Meritech and Sapphire with participation from Greenoaks, Craft, Abstract, and Audacious. WorkOS powers enterprise features for many of the fastest-growing AI companies, including OpenAI, Cursor, and Perplexity, Sierra, and Plaid.
As AI reshapes software, WorkOS is at the frontier of Human and Agent Authentication, Identity, and Access Control helping companies answer a new critical question: who are your agents, and what are they allowed to do? Our fast-growing customer base includes hundreds of modern software companies building the next generation of enterprise-ready products.
About the role
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.

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.
