Experienced Frontend Engineer

What We're Looking For

Stytch is the most powerful identity platform built for developers – bringing together authentication, authorization, and fraud into purpose-built APIs that provide the foundations that allow developers to scale rapidly.

Stytch’s client-side SDKs help developers unlock Stytch’s value quickly & easily. As an Experienced Frontend Engineer, you’ll be working on the Web JavaScript SDKs to improve the integration experience for Stytch’s customers while delivering great end user auth experiences.

This is a hybrid, full-time position based in the SF Bay Area. We aren’t looking for someone to be in-office 5 days per week, but are looking for someone who is excited to collaborate in-person on a weekly basis (3 days per week in-office).

What Excites You

• A collaborative environment with a tight feedback loop between the work you do and the impact it has on our customers

• Designing for the future, and building for the present — you have a vision for the systems you work on, but know how to build incremental milestones, and when to make trade-offs between completeness and utility to get to value fast

• You love code — you’re incredibly proud of the code you write and review, and like staying close to the systems you own

• Putting your stamp on the team — shaping the culture and growing the team through feedback and processes that allow the team to execute at the highest level

• Building products that make developers’ lives easier. You’re excited to make our systems easy and safe to use for our customers.

What Excites Us

• 5+ years as a frontend engineer working with React and JavaScript or Typescript

• Experience developing and maintaining complex web applications or web SDKs

• Experience building developer tools

• Experience maintaining or contributing to open source projects

What Success Looks Like

• Technical — build new, highly reliable services that our customers can depend on in their critical path. Improve our existing systems to be both delightful and safe to build on for Stytch developers, as well as performant, reliable, and secure for our customers.

• Ownership — partner with other engineers to build the roadmap for the team, partner with product to prioritize the most critical work and projects, and then ship it to production

• Leadership — level up the team and the industry by growing the next generation of frontend engineers at Stytch

Our Tech Stack

Expected base salary $185,000 - $225,000.
