Software Engineer, Developer Relations

What We're Looking For

Stytch is the most powerful identity platform built for developers—bringing together authentication, authorization, and fraud prevention into purpose-built APIs. With one integration engineering teams can make their product enterprise-ready, AI agent-ready, and threat resistant.

We’re hiring a Senior Developer Relations Engineer to drive the creation of developer-first content at scale across written, video, and social channels.

We’re looking for a senior IC who thrives on execution —someone who can ship high-quality technical content daily, amplify our developer brand, and become a recognizable expert across the developer ecosystem.

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 (3 days per week in-office).

What Excites You

Teaching through content — Translating complex infrastructure and security topics into clear, actionable learning for developers. You’ll create developer-facing content such as blog posts, code samples, documentation, example apps, videos, etc (this is not meant to be a prescriptive list, we’d love to experiment with new types of content that will help drive developer engagement!).

Creating at high velocity — Using AI tools to accelerate your workflow, publish multiple articles per week, and spin up tutorials based on real-time feedback.

Owning the full content lifecycle — Driving content from idea to launch to ongoing iteration, guided by data and developer input.

Exploring new channels — Experimenting with emerging formats and platforms like Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, or wherever developers gather.

Working cross-functionally — Collaborating with engineers, PMs, and marketers to shape content that supports product and go-to-market goals.

What Excites Us

Proven content experience — 5+ years in developer relations, developer education, developer advocacy, technical content, or engineering, with a track record of high-output, high-quality work.

Full-stack fluency — Comfortable working with React, TypeScript, Go, Node, or similar stacks.

Deep developer empathy — Skilled at making identity and security approachable and engaging.

Bias toward action — You ship daily, not monthly, and iterate fast.

Strategic use of AI and SEO — Leveraging tools and insights to scale discoverability and performance.

What Success Looks Like

Consistent output — You publish multiple high-quality articles each week, aligned with strategic initiatives.

Discoverability impact — Your content improves Stytch’s visibility in developer communities and is cited across search and LLM results.

Platform growth — You grow Stytch’s presence on emerging developer platforms like Discord, Reddit, and TikTok.

Cross-functional leverage — Your work helps launch new features and supports broader Product and Marketing efforts.

Fast iteration — You analyze performance metrics and feedback quickly, using them to refine narrative, format, and technical depth.

Expected base salary $160,000-$220,000. The anticipated base salary range is not inclusive of full benefits including equity, health care insurance, time off, paid parental leave, etc. This base salary is accurate based on information at the time of posting. Actual compensation for hired candidates will be determined using a number of factors including experience, skills, and qualifications.

We're looking to hire a GREAT team and that means hiring people who are highly empathetic, ambitious, and excited about building the future of user authentication. You should feel empowered to apply for this role even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description (our job descriptions are directional and not perfect recipes for exactly what we need).

We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workspace where everyone (regardless of age, education, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or any personal characteristics) feels like they belong. We look forward to hearing from you!
