WorkOS builds tools and services for developers to help them implement authentication, identity, authorization, and overall enterprise readiness. We’re a fully distributed team with employees across North American time zones. We’re well-funded, having raised $100m in funding from top investors including Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and Lightspeed Ventures. Our fast-growing customer base includes rapidly growing SaaS companies like OpenAI, Cursor, Perplexity, Vercel, Plaid, and hundreds of others.
About The Role đź’
We’re hiring an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a team of product engineers at WorkOS. We’re looking for a leader who is excited to manage engineers, but approaches the role as a startup founding member would. This role is ideal for someone with a builder’s DNA and you will play a key role in shaping product decisions, driving technical strategy, and empowering your team to execute on high-impact projects. You will also play a pivotal role in scaling the team, recruiting exceptional engineers. You’re not just excited about software—you’re obsessed with building the best developer platform.
Responsibilities ✔️
- Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
- Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
- Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version
- Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
- Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
- Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns
- Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft
- Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people who want to grow fast and build great things
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. A track record of recruiting, hiring, and mentoring top engineering talent.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Engineering Jobs at WorkOS Jobs
Align your portfolio to WorkOS's stack
WorkOS publishes technical blog posts and open-source tooling that reveal their engineering priorities. Build or document projects in Go, TypeScript, or infrastructure tooling before applying so your background maps directly to their posted roles.
Confirm E-3 eligibility before your interview
Australian citizens can enter the E-3 process without an I-129 filing, which significantly shortens the employer's timeline. Having your LCA paperwork framed and ready signals to the hiring team that sponsorship won't slow down onboarding.
Track your OPT end date against the offer timeline
Engineering hiring at companies like WorkOS can take eight to twelve weeks from first interview to offer. Map your OPT expiration date against that window now so you can flag a potential gap to the recruiter early rather than at the offer stage.
Target roles matching your degree field exactly
For F-1 OPT STEM extension eligibility, your role must be directly related to your degree. Engineering positions at WorkOS in software infrastructure or backend systems typically satisfy this, but frontend or growth-engineering roles warrant a closer check with your DSO.
Ask about the sponsorship process during recruiter screening
Raise visa sponsorship in the recruiter call, not after the technical rounds. WorkOS posts roles for Engineering talent and has filed sponsorship before, so a direct question early prevents wasted time if your visa category falls outside their current process.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Engineering roles at WorkOS
Filter by visa type on Migrate Mate to surface WorkOS Engineering jobs that align with your sponsorship status, whether that's E-3, F-1 OPT, or F-1 CPT, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is already part of the hiring plan.

Find Engineering at WorkOS JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does WorkOS sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Based on available sponsorship data, WorkOS has supported E-3, F-1 OPT, and F-1 CPT for Engineering roles rather than H-1B. H-1B sponsorship involves a lottery-based cap process that many smaller technology companies avoid. If H-1B is your only pathway, confirm directly with WorkOS's recruiting team before investing time in the interview process.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at WorkOS?
You can browse and apply for WorkOS Engineering roles directly through their careers page or through Migrate Mate, which filters open positions by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm eligibility before applying. WorkOS Engineering interviews typically include a technical screen, a systems design round, and a final panel, so prepare accordingly before submitting your application.
Which visa types does WorkOS commonly sponsor for Engineering roles?
WorkOS has sponsored Engineering candidates under E-3 for Australian citizens, F-1 OPT for recent graduates in STEM fields, and F-1 CPT for students completing degree requirements. Each pathway has different employer obligations: E-3 requires a certified Labor Condition Application filed with the DOL, while OPT authorization runs through USCIS and your university's DSO.
What qualifications does WorkOS expect from Engineering candidates?
WorkOS Engineering roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Practical experience with backend systems, API design, or developer tooling carries significant weight given the company's product focus. For visa eligibility purposes, your degree must also satisfy the specialty occupation standard, meaning it should directly correspond to the role's technical requirements.
How do I plan my timeline when pursuing an Engineering role at WorkOS on a visa?
The E-3 visa can be processed at a U.S. consulate in Australia in as little as a few weeks once the LCA is certified by the DOL, which typically takes seven business days. F-1 OPT authorization can take up to 90 days from USCIS, so apply to USCIS well before your program end date. Build at least 12 to 14 weeks of lead time into your job search to avoid gaps in work authorization.
