Job Description

Descope is a developer-first identity provider for customers, partners, and AI agents. Our drag & drop approach to identity enables developers to easily deploy authentication, MFA, SSO, and MCP / AI agent auth without writing custom code.
Descope is trusted by over 1000 organizations in production including GoFundMe, Databricks, GoodRx, Linktree, and You.com. The company has $88M in seed funding led by Lightspeed and Notable Capital.
We're "descoping" authentication plumbing from developers' daily lives while helping organizations turn identity into a business enabler. Come join us!

What You’ll Do

  • Build sample apps, demos, and small tools that showcase Descope in real use cases
  • Support integrations by testing flows, debugging issues, and improving developer experience
  • Write technical content including docs, guides, and tutorials
  • Help create resources that make it easier for developers to adopt the product
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Product to share feedback from what you’re building
  • Experiment with new use cases, especially around AI and agent based systems

What We’re Looking For

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Hands on coding experience through coursework, projects, or internships
  • Familiarity with at least one language like JavaScript or Python
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn by building and solving real problems
  • Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly, especially in writing
  • Interest in developer tools, APIs, or authentication

Nice to Have

  • Personal or school projects you can share
  • Experience building web apps or working with APIs
  • Interest in identity, security, or AI systems
