Developer Success Engineer
Stytch is the platform for user authentication and anti-fraud tooling. We make it simple for developers to build complex authentication flows in minutes.
You’ll work directly with developers that want to learn how Stytch works, help them design an implementation, and answer any questions they have along the way. Throughout that path you’ll also be serving as the voice of the customer within Stytch and closing the feedback loop by ensuring their insights make it back to our Product, Design, and Engineering teams.
This is a hybrid, full-time position based in the SF Bay Area. We aren’t looking for someone to be in-office 5 days per week, but are looking for someone who is excited to collaborate in-person on a weekly basis (2-3 days per week in-office).

Serving as a confident technical resource and voice for our customers
Learning — our product suite and problem space is continually evolving, and staying on top of those changes is critical to success

What Excites Us
A strong sense of empathy that allows for a deep understanding of our customers’ needs
Troubleshooting — tenacity, curiosity, and grit to find the solution
Ability to read and write code
Familiarity with modern web services and APIs. Experience with authentication protocols (SAML/OAuth), MFA, IdP is a bonus
Demonstrated ability to communicate credibly and effectively at all levels
Enthusiasm to work in a high-growth environment and to help build processes and tools as needed
What you’ll do
Serve as a technical resource for customers when they have questions about our product

What does project work outside of tickets look like?
Our team leans heavily on project work outside of answering tickets to help scale our ability to support customers. In Q4 we shipped:
A customer health dashboard to track product usage and sentiment over time.
Webhooks for email delivery success rate and time-to-inbox latency so customers can self-serve insights into their email sending health.
Audited and shipped improved logging in our API so developers had more detail when things went wrong.
