Developer Experience (DX) Engineer role at WorkOS, a developer-tools and API company powering enterprise-ready authentication. The small, fast-shipping DX team is rethinking how engineers discover, integrate and work with APIs in an AI-native world. Current work includes a CLI that uses the Claude Agent SDK to automatically install and configure AuthKit into any project, agent skills auto-generated from the docs, AI-native documentation structured as a first-class input to LLMs and agents, and a move toward fully generated, polyglot SDKs that keep seven language libraries in sync. The goal is that when a developer or their agent needs enterprise-ready auth, WorkOS is the easiest path forward regardless of stack or language.
Responsibilities
- ▹Ship agent tools and skills so developers and their agents can integrate WorkOS without friction
- ▹Write evaluations to measure whether what is shipped 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 an API change propagates cleanly across all languages
- ▹Own and evolve SDKs across seven supported languages (Node/TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, Java, PHP, .NET) and framework libraries such as 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 such as the WorkOS CLI that makes complex integrations feel trivial
Requirements
- ▹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 the supported languages, with strong opinions about idiomatic code 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 versus merely functional
- ▹Experience owning projects end-to-end and driving decisions based on customer impact
