HN Jobs

Clerk is hiring a senior front-end engineer for our authentication-as-a-service developer tools. Help us build the Stripe Checkout of Sign In, Sign Up, and Profile Management. You will be responsible for building a front end architecture that is easily extensible and customizable by our customers. You will help us define everything from the methods in our client-side SDK, to the API endpoints our SDK calls, to whether we embed or redirect, to the strategy developers will use to add custom CSS. We're looking for an engineer who will approach our challenge from first principles to find the best possible solution. The questions you will encounter range from the more typical: will Rollup or Webpack result in meaningfully smaller downloads? To the more esoteric: can we shave off 50ms to first paint by leveraging JSONP? If this sounds exciting we'd love to talk! We're venture funded and looking to launch our beta product soon. Email colin@clerk.dev for more information.
