Scalekit
Overview
Software Developer About Scalekit Scalekit is building the
authentication stack for AI applications . We started by solving enterprise-grade auth for B2B SaaS - SSO, SCIM provisioning, multi-tenant orgs, and admin portals. Now, as AI adoption accelerates, authentication has to work not just for
human users
but also for
AI agents . That means: Inbound auth for MCP servers using OAuth 2.1, PKCE, and dynamic client registration. Outbound actions for AI agents through token vaults and scoped access to third-party apps. We’re backed by top investors and supported by a strong network of engineering leaders. At Scalekit, we tackle hard authentication problems, while obsessing over delivering a great developer experience. Why this role matters
We’re looking for a
Software Developer (2-3 years of experience)
to join our focused, high-impact team in San Francisco. You’ll work directly with the founders and core engineers to: Build reference apps, integrations, and proofs-of-concept. Create examples and quickstarts that make Scalekit simple and intuitive for other developers. Bring real-world developer feedback into our product and docs. This is a unique opportunity to learn fast, ship quickly, and directly shape how developers adopt authentication in AI-driven products. What you’ll do
Build reference apps & POCs
Create small runnable projects in Python, Node.js, or Next.js to demonstrate key auth flows (SSO, passwordless logins, AI agent auth, MCP integration). Publish quickstart repos, snippets, and scripts that other developers can copy and adapt.
Help with real integrations
Partner with the team and early customers during pilots to reproduce and fix issues. Patch small utilities or examples that reduce friction and document what you learned.
Feed learnings back into the product
Spot recurring developer issues and suggest SDK improvements or validation checks. Share insights on how onboarding and workflows could be smoother.
Engage with the developer ecosystem
Participate in GitHub discussions when you can contribute code or fixes. Occasionally attend local developer events to understand what challenges others face.
What makes you a great fit
Builder mindset
– You enjoy exploring new SDKs, APIs, and frameworks, and figuring things out quickly. Hands-on coder
– Proficient in at least one of Python, Node.js, or Next.js, and open to learning others. Empathy for developers
– You care about the details that make (or break) a great developer experience, from error messages to onboarding guides. Self-starter
– You take open-ended problems, turn them into working prototypes, and ship usable solutions. Collaborative sharer
– You’re excited to explain your solutions, write clean GitHub repos, and contribute to the developer community. Why you’ll love working here
Work side-by-side with the founders, shipping production-ready code from day one. Directly shape how authentication works for the next wave of AI and SaaS applications. Join a team that values curiosity, speed, and craftsmanship and where your contributions have immediate impact. Backed by top investors and advisors in AI and infrastructure. #J-18808-Ljbffr
