Original posting

Clerk.dev is a seed stage company, looking for some key hires to help build the “Stripe for Auth”. Founded by MIT/WashU grads. Backed by by Top Tier VCs (S28, Fathom, SPC) and DX experts, including Ex-CTOs of Dropbox, Segment, Pagerduty, to name a few. We’re not working on your typical SaaS app, this product has quite a number of twists and turns. We’re constantly pushing on DX, which sometimes calls for some tricky work. Auth is particularly challenging because of how core it is to someones application. Auth0 and co are stodgy, and hard to use - hence most people use open source still. Huge market when we crack it. To apply shoot me an email at braden@clerk.dev Perks for all jobs Remote US - Equity — Unlimited vacation — People-centric — 100% health/dental/vision insurance — Team retreats to Greek islands Roles: - Senior Frontend Engineer (React / Typescript) --- Help with our core JS SDKs, everything from performance to DX to making the TS types perfect. --- Keeping up to date with the JS ecosystem. Next.js is hot, and we're focused on a smooth integration. - Documentation Engineer / Technical writer --- Docs are REALLY hard but REALLY important for good DX. --- Should be strongly opinionated about docs, be able to write well, and be able to spin up simple projects to understand the DX when needed. --- Stripe set the bar here, so we can pull a lot from them. - Senior UI Designer --- Branding/Marketing overhaul --- Onboarding --- Dashboard UX/Customer facing UIs - Lead DevRel --- Define your own role, tell me whats best. The goal is to teach as many developers about Clerk as possible.
