Product Engineer - Passport

WorkOS•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

WorkOS is hiring a frontend-leaning Product Engineer to help shape and build Passport, a product that lets employees access work apps with fewer sign-in prompts while giving administrators control over access. The engineer will help decide what to build and take work through production, working directly with customers to turn complex identity and device workflows into clear employee and administrator experiences. The role involves hands-on engineering across the stack in an AI-native environment, using AI tools to prototype, build, and iterate while maintaining product quality and technical correctness. WorkOS builds developer tools and APIs for enterprise authentication, identity, authorization, and related infrastructure. Its platform serves modern software companies, including AI companies, and it is developing capabilities for human and agent authentication, identity, and access control.

Full-stack capability, including designing useful APIs, reasoning about data models and queries, implementing authorization behavior, and debugging production issues.
Ability to own work across layers and collaborate with specialists; deepest expertise may be frontend.
Strong product sense and judgment to understand customer needs, identify problems, and make thoughtful tradeoffs about priorities, scope, quality, and speed, including knowing what not to build.
Strong product taste, including the ability to rethink complex workflows, choose sensible defaults, and make the right actions feel obvious.
Clear communication, independent judgment through ambiguity, curiosity to learn unfamiliar systems, and ability to collaborate across disciplines.
