About WorkOS \uD83D\uDE80

WorkOS is a developer platform that helps make apps enterprise-ready. We build tools and services for developers to help them implement features like Single Sign-On, Directory Sync, Multi-Factor Auth, and Audit Logs. We're a fully-distributed team with employees across North America time zones. We're well-funded, having raised an $80M Series B. Our fast-growing customer base includes hundreds of rapidly growing SaaS companies like OpenAI, Vercel, Plaid, Perplexity, and Cursor.

About the role \uD83D\uDCAD

We’re hiring an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a team of product engineers at WorkOS. We’re looking for a leader who is excited to manage engineers, but approaches the role as a startup founding member would.

This role is ideal for someone with a builder’s DNA and you will play a key role in shaping product decisions, driving technical strategy, and empowering your team to execute on high-impact projects. You will also play a pivotal role in scaling the team, recruiting exceptional engineers.

You’re not just excited about software—you’re obsessed with building the best developer platform.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
• Be deeply technical and hands-on : read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
• Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version
• Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
• Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
• Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns
• Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft
• Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people who want to grow fast and build great things
