Stack Auth (YC S24), open-source Auth0 alternative, is hiring Founding SWEs
Hi HN! We're building Stack Auth (https://stack-auth.com/), an open-source managed authentication and authorization platform. Basically, we build your login and signup pages, and everything that comes with that.
You can find our customer pitch elsewhere, so instead I'll tell you more about us and the company. We are developers building for other developers, so you can think of everyone here as a devX engineer. We launched with a Show HN in April, and have been growing exponentially since.
Think of us as a fast-moving open-source infrastructure business. We spend a lot of time thinking about how we can maintain the agility of a startup while being as reliable as incumbents. Sometimes, this means new ideas; for example, we heavily rely on AI and snapshots for our E2E tests, and have API migration tooling that blows everyone else out of the water. If you have ideas like these, we want you.
We've sworn to keep a no-bullshit culture. We're all pulling on the same string; we don't keep secrets from each other and always assume good faith. We want to build the open-source cloud infrastructure of the future; we'd rather die trying than sell out for a quick buck.
We are (very) well-funded by investors such as YC, Paul Graham, Guillermo Rauch, Theo Browne, and Khosla Ventures. Our number one priority is to build an outstanding product that developers *really* love — everything else comes second.
For now, we are exclusively hiring onsite in San Francisco; sadly, we don't currently have any remote positions. Optionally, you can move with us into our hacker house (both temporarily or permanent), but you can live in your own home too.
If that sounds like a great fit, email me mentioning that you're from HN and tell me why we caught your eye: konsti (at) stack-auth.com
Thanks all!
