About the role

SuperTokens builds open-source user authentication and is being used by 1000+ developers across the globe, including at some of the world's largest companies. We're growing 30-40% MoM on adoption metrics and are in the early stages of monetization. This is the perfect time to join and get some equity in our company.

Why should you join us?

  • Our market is large, any webapp that requires auth.
  • Work on open source, and getting paid for it!
  • We are backed by Y Combinator and have access to some of the best and smartest founders in the world.
  • You can work remotely with flexible work hours and leave policy.
  • Our product is interesting in that it’s not another mobile or web app. It will form a core infrastructure layer for our users. As a devtool company, our users are other developers and hence you can empathize with our user base.
  • We are solving a big pain point for most developers.
  • Get to learn about the most critical aspects of web app security.
  • Your work will directly affect our user’s experience, and is one of the most important parts of our product.
  • In terms of funding: We’ve closed a seed round and a pre series A round from a top tier US VC firm that specialises in devtools and 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 with 300k+ MAUs migrate from Auth0, Firebase and Cognito to SuperTokens. We have a significant amount of high-intent organic inbound from mid-market / large companies.

You will be responsible for:

  • Creating and maintaining technical content such as blog posts, tutorials, webinars, podcasts, and newsletters that showcase how to use SuperTokens.
  • Speaking at online and in-person events, meetups, and conferences to educate and inspire developers about web authentication and SuperToken’s solutions.
  • Building and nurturing relationships with developers, influencers, partners, and customers through various channels such as social media, forums, email, and Slack.
  • Collecting and analyzing feedback from developers and communicating it to our product and engineering teams to help shape our product roadmap and strategy.
  • Developing and executing developer advocacy campaigns and programs that drive adoption, retention, and referrals of SuperTokens’s products.

Additionally, you will be actively contributing to SuperTokens's products.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

  • A strong technical background and experience in web development
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts in a clear and engaging way.
  • A proven track record of creating high-quality technical content such as blog posts, tutorials, videos, podcasts, or newsletters.
  • A passion for developer communities and experience in building and managing online and offline developer networks and events.
  • A growth mindset and a willingness to learn new technologies and skills.

Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience with web authentication standards such as WebAuthn, FIDO2, OAuth2, or OpenID Connect.

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

  1. 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.
  2. Developer's can own and manage their user's data.
  3. 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.
