About the role
About us
We’re a tiny group of engineers on a mission to democratize high‑quality authentication and make auth something every developer can truly own.
Our open‑source framework is already one of the fastest‑growing auth solutions in the world. It’s trusted by thousands of developers and is rapidly adopted by startups and YC companies alike.
We’ve been moving fast - TechCrunch recently featured our story: Better Auth, an authentication tool by a self-taught Ethiopian dev, raises $5M from Peak XV, YC
We also launched on YC Launch and became the most upvoted YC Launch in YC’s history: Better Auth on YC Launch.
We’ve grown our community and impact faster than our team and now we’re looking to align the two quickly.
What you’ll work on here
- Collaborating across backend, frontend, and design to ship features that make developers’ lives easier
- Building at the edge between frontend and backend with TypeScript, React, and Node
- Owning features end‑to‑end, from concept to production deployment
- Managing and improving our plugin ecosystem for developers
- Mentoring junior developers and contributing to planning and review sessions
Why you should join Better Auth
You’ll enjoy high ownership and join a team that’s still early but already making a huge impact. You’ll work deeply on developer experience and thrive in a collaborative, low‑ego environment.
