Clerk | Frontend & Backend SWE | Remote or in-person in SF Clerk is hiring frontend and backend engineers, remote or in-office in San Francisco We build developers tools for authentication. We're known for our React components like SignIn and UserProfile 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enUuBY3HXh4 We're especially excited to work with engineers who are thoughtful about speed and craft. Clerk is defining the gold standard for components-as-a-service, and we are constantly searching for new ways to evolve and improve our approach.
