This role offers meaningful autonomy to shape what we build and why. It’s a great fit for a strong product thinker who enjoys working closely with product managers and taking the lead on product decisions when the opportunity calls for it. You’ll have room to identify customer problems, propose new directions, and carry ideas from discovery through launch, with ownership of the outcomes. If you’re excited by the chance to combine engineering leadership with product judgment, there’s a lot to build here.
You’ll also drive technical strategy, empower your team to execute on projects with a direct impact on customer success and the business, and play a pivotal role in scaling the team and recruiting exceptional engineers.
WHAT YOUR TEAM WILL BUILD
Growth and onboarding: help developers move from signing up to integrating and running WorkOS in production. Improve onboarding and next steps, and work with go-to-market teams on timely outreach informed by product signals.
Billing and monetization: build annual-credit capabilities, make billing more reliable and automated, and give customers clearer pricing, usage, and credit information in the dashboard.
AI assistance for developers: bring the Dashboard Agent, WorkOS MCP server, Ask WorkOS, and Support Bot into a coordinated experience, with shared retrieval, evaluations, and quality standards. Help developers get useful, consistent answers and make progress with WorkOS.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Build and lead a high-velocity team that ships product fast and with polish across growth, monetization, and developer assistance.
Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, and work with technical leads on architecture and project scope.
Shape the roadmap in close partnership with product managers, design, go-to-market, finance, and engineering. Bring your own product perspective, identify opportunities, and drive product decisions directly where needed—from defining the problem and choosing an approach to measuring the outcome.
Help the team improve the customer journey from signup to production and expansion, using product signals and customer feedback to choose what to build next.
Balance rapid product iteration with the reliability and correctness customers need from billing and the quality they expect from AI assistance.
Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out.
Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft.
Coach, mentor, and grow a team of curious, driven engineers through direct feedback, clear goals, and meaningful ownership.
Partner with recruiting to attract, hire, and retain exceptional engineering talent.
QUALIFICATIONS
Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in high-performing organizations that shipped real impact.
You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back.
Bias for action and scrappiness: You don’t over-optimize for process. You optimize for velocity, customer value, and learning.
You deeply care about the developer experience. You think about UX, APIs, performance, edge cases, and joy.
You ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly.
You build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive.
You have experience partnering with internal recruiting teams to drive effective and fair hiring processes. You realize that recruiting is a large and important part of your role, and have a track record of recruiting, hiring, and mentoring top engineering talent.
You’re a strong product thinker who connects customer needs, technical possibilities, and business outcomes. You collaborate well with product managers and are comfortable driving product decisions yourself, using customer insight and evidence to make tradeoffs and build alignment.
Experience with onboarding and growth, billing systems, or customer-facing AI products is especially relevant. You do not need prior experience in all three areas.
