The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version
Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related: to the product areas your team owns
What they're looking for
- Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points,: testing assumptions, and improving the craft
- Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people: who want to grow fast and build great things
- Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in: high-performing organizations that shipped real impact
- You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands: dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back
