Developer & Agent Experience Engineer
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
We're at an inflection point for what it means to build for developers and agents. The way engineers discover, integrate, and work with APIs is changing fast, and we're actively building the infrastructure to meet that shift.
Developers still integrate WorkOS, but increasingly their agents do it for them. This team owns every way into WorkOS that isn't the dashboard: SDKs in 9 languages, now generated from our API spec; an AI installer CLI that sets up AuthKit in any project; our MCP servers and agent skills; and other not released projects we're building in-house. You'd ship daily with agents as collaborators, and your code goes into other people's apps. The roadmap comes from watching real integrations: friction logs, shared customer Slack channels and telemetry.
The goal is that when a developer (or their agent) needs enterprise-ready auth, WorkOS is the easiest path forward regardless of stack, language, or how they're building.
What you'll work on
Ship agent tools and skills so developers (and their agents) can integrate WorkOS without friction
Write evaluations to measure whether what you ship actually improves developer outcomes
Talk to customers, surface insights, and translate them into roadmap
Contribute to the architecture and tooling for fully generated, polyglot SDK pipelines - so a change to the API propagates cleanly across all languages
Own and evolve SDKs across our seven supported languages (Node/TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, Java, PHP, .NET) and framework libraries like our Next.js, Remix, and TanStack integrations
Build and extend AI-native documentation systems as structured context that makes WorkOS work well in Cursor, Claude, Copilot, and agentic workflows
Represent WorkOS publicly through docs, blog posts, OSS, and occasional conference appearances
Build developer tooling like the WorkOS CLI that make complex integrations feel trivial
What we're looking for
5+ years of software development experience with a real track record of shipping and maintaining SDKs or OSS projects
Deep fluency in at least three of our supported languages; you should have strong opinions about what idiomatic code looks like in each
Experience with or genuine excitement about AI-native tooling: agent SDKs, context engineering, evals, LLM-powered CLIs
Interest in documentation as infrastructure, not just prose
Strong instincts for what makes a developer experience good vs. merely functional
Experience owning projects end-to-end and driving decisions based on customer impact
