We're a tiny group of engineers on a mission to democratize high-quality authentication and make auth something every developer can truly own.
Our open-source framework is already one of the fastest-growing auth solutions in the world. It's trusted by thousands of developers and is rapidly adopted by startups and YC companies alike.
You'll enjoy high ownership and join a team that's still early but already making a huge impact. You'll work deeply on developer experience and thrive in a collaborative, low-ego environment.
This is a very early team. You're not joining an existing culture - you'll be helping define it. We value agentic people who take initiative, push ideas forward, and shape the future rather than wait for direction.
