About Scalekit
Scalekit is building the authentication stack for AI applications. We started by solving enterprise-grade auth for B2B SaaS – features like 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. 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 a strong network of engineering leaders. At Scalekit, we focus on solving hard authentication problems while obsessing over delivering great developer experiences. Why This Role Matters
We’re looking for a Software Developer (1-3 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 and POCs
Create small, runnable projects in Python, Node.js, and Next.js that demonstrate key auth flows (SSO, passwordless logins, agent auth, and MCP integration). Publish quickstart repos, snippets, and scripts that other developers can copy and adapt.
Help with real integrations
Work alongside the team and 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 issues and suggest SDK improvements or validation checks. Share feedback with the core team on how onboarding and workflows could be smoother.
Engage with the developer ecosystem
Attend local developer events to hear what problems others face and bring insights back to the team Participate in GitHub discussions when you can contribute code or fixes.
Challenges You’ll Help Solve
Make it simple for developers to plug Scalekit auth into their SaaS and AI apps Create “aha!” moments – shorten the path from first test to production. Build reusable code and examples that other developers trust and love. What we’re looking for
Builder at heart: You explore new SDKs, APIs, and stacks, figure things out quickly, and enjoy experimenting Hands-on coder: Proficient in at least one of Python, Node.js, or Next.js, with the ability to learn from others as needed Empathy for developers: You care about the small details that make (or break) a great developer experience, from error messages to onboarding guides Self-starter: You take open-ended problems, build proofs-of-concept, and ship usable solutions Collaborative Style: You’re excited to explain your solutions, write clean GitHub repos, and contribute to the developer community Comfort with startup pace: adaptable, willing to wear multiple hats, and thrive in an environment where priorities can shift Bonus if you have
Exposure to authentication/identity protocols (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, SCIM) Experience with IdPs like Okta, Entra ID, or Google Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP or AWS) Prior startup or open-source contributions. 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. Interested? Send us a note at founders@scalekit.com with links to repos, projects, or hacks you’ve built. We care about showing you can figure things out and ship code.
