About the role
What kind of work will you get?

Examples of technical tasks:
- Working with our Supertokens-auth-react SDK to build login UI widgets and add tests.
- Working on our Supertokens-node SDK to expose new API routes for new features
- Designing database schemas for new features
- Architecting auth flows
You may also be given non technical tasks (if you like). Some examples are: Product brain storming, Competitor analysis, Documentation / content, Building a developer community etc
Why should you join us?
- Our market is large - any webapp that requires login
- Working on open source, and getting paid for it!
- We are backed by Y Combinator. Have access to some of the best and smartest founders in the world.
- Work remotely.
- Our product is interesting in that it's not another mobile or web app. It will form a core infrastructure layer for our users
- We are solving a big pain point for most developers
- Get to learn about the most critical aspects of web app security
In terms of funding
We’ve closed our seed round from a top tier US VC firm that specialises in early stage devtools and we were over subscribed.
In terms of user growth
We’ve seen 25-30% MoM growth over the last couple of months and have companies across the board using SuperTokens in production. We’ve had apps migrate from Auth0, Firebase and Cognito to SuperTokens and are excited by the current momentum.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in React
- 2+ years of experience in some backend languages and frameworks (eg: Nodejs, Java, Go)
- Passionate about building web app infrastructure or exciting about building for other developers
- Self motivated, self disciplined and willing to learn
About SuperTokens
SuperTokens is building open source authentication (as an alternative to Auth0, Firebase and AWS Cognito). Add secure, hassle free authentication to your app in 1 day. We enable startups to launch quicker and focus on their core product offering
- We're easier to implement as we take a modular approach - making it possible to pick only the features you need for your use case. This means you need not worry about complications associated with other features (eg: SSO and OAuth if you don’t need it) and this in turn makes it easier to implement and manage SuperTokens.
- Developer's can own and manage their user's data.
- SuperTokens can be run on your premise for free and also has a generous hosted tier for those who dont want to manage it themselves.
SuperTokens is being used by hundreds of developers across the globe.
Our medium-term goal is to build an open-core authentication solution that is secure, flexible, and most importantly, is very simple to use.
