About WorkOS 

WorkOS builds tools and services for developers to help them implement authentication, identity, authorization, and overall enterprise readiness. We’re a fully distributed team with employees across North American time zones. We’re well-funded, having raised $100m in funding from top investors including Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and Lightspeed Ventures. Our fast-growing customer base includes rapidly growing SaaS companies like OpenAI, Cursor, Perplexity, Vercel, Plaid, and hundreds of others.

About the role

WorkOS is building the developer platform for enterprise readiness and Developer Relations is a core part of how we earn trust with developers and show up in the community.

We’re looking for an events-forward DevRel leader who thrives in the room: organizing meetups, building community, representing WorkOS publicly, and creating technical content that drives real engagement. This role is especially impactful in San Francisco, where so much of our developer ecosystem lives in-person.

Responsibilities 

• Own and scale WorkOS’s developer events strategy (meetups, panels, workshops, office events)

• Represent WorkOS as a public-facing technical voice (talks, demos, community conversations)

• Create high-signal technical content that supports events and developer education (guides, talks, demos)

• Build relationships with developer communities and influencers across the ecosystem

• Partner with GTM, Product, and Engineering to bring community feedback into our roadmap and messaging

• Support talent and pipeline generation by building communities where great candidates and customers gather

Qualifications

• Proven experience in Developer Relations, developer advocacy, community, or a highly technical marketing role

• Strong technical foundation and credibility with developers (you can demo, build, and explain)

• Bias toward doing: you can run events end-to-end and create content that ships

• Excellent communicator and facilitator. Comfortable on stage and in small group conversations

• High agency and a builder mindset; you’re energized by experimentation

• Bonus: Experience in developer tools, identity/auth, or enterprise readiness topics

Benefits (US Only) 

At WorkOS, we offer resources that emphasize personal and familial well-being. We offer healthcare coverage for you and your family, including medical, dental, and vision. We offer parental leave, paid-time off and fully remote working arrangements.

Benefits include:

- Competitive pay

- Substantial equity grants

- Healthcare insurance (Medical, Dental and Vision) for you and your family

- 401k matching

- Wellness and fitness monthly allowances

- PTO + paid holidays + unlimited sick leave

- Autonomy and flexibility with remote work

Please inquire directly with our recruiting team for benefits available to those working outside the US.
