San Francisco, California, United States Clerk Full time

Clerk is hiring developer success engineers, remote or in-office in San Fransisco. We build developer tools for authentication. We're known for our React components like and that "just work" when they're added to the page.

Our components are powered by a new type of API: a frontend-facing API that relies on session tokens for authorization, instead of a backend-facing API that relies on a secret key. We've found this pattern unlocks a new level of efficiency. Developers can implement Clerk faster than traditional APIs because it comes built-in with UX and UI. To learn more about the approach, see our talk on A Component is Worth a Thousand APIs.

What is a developer success engineer?

Developer success engineers are the bridge between our product and our customers. They spend the majority of their time helping customers get the most out of Clerk by providing technical support, debugging issues, and answering questions about the product. They then leverage the insights built from this work to improve the product and make it easier to use. This can be done in a variety of ways such as writing documentation, creating tutorials, working directly on the product, building internal tools to make our support process better and more efficient, etc.

While the foundation of this position is rooted in customer support, this is more than just a support role. You will be responsible for helping to shape the product and the direction of the company. You will be the voice of the customer and will be responsible for making sure that voice is heard.

Who we're looking for

We are looking for someone who is passionate about helping developers and building great products. You should be comfortable speaking with and working directly with customers in a polished, professional manner, and have a strong technical background, primarily rooted in frontend web development. All of our customers are developers, and the majority of our customers at the moment are using to build apps. You should be able to quickly understand complex technical concepts and be able to explain them in simple terms. You should be able to work independently and be comfortable taking ownership of projects, whether they are writing docs or writing code.

If you feel like this role sounds exciting and would be a good fit for you, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply below and we'll be in touch soon
