Developer Relations

WorkOS•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

WorkOS builds tools and services for developers to help them implement authentication, identity, authorization, and overall enterprise readiness. We’re a fully distributed team with employees across North American time zones. We’re well-funded, having raised $100m in funding from top investors including Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and Lightspeed Ventures. Our fast-growing customer base includes rapidly growing SaaS companies like OpenAI, Cursor, Perplexity, Vercel, Plaid, and hundreds of others. WorkOS is building the developer platform for enterprise readiness and Developer Relations is a core part of how we earn trust with developers and show up in the community. We’re looking for an events-forward DevRel leader who thrives in the room: organizing meetups, building community, representing WorkOS publicly, and creating technical content that drives real engagement. This role is especially impactful in San Francisco, where so much of our developer ecosystem lives in-person.
