At Descope we’re looking for a technical and driven Developer Relations Engineer to join our team, with a focus on the growing world of Agentic AI. In this role, you’ll help shape how both developers and AI agents securely authenticate and access digital tools and services—playing a critical part in the future of identity and authorization.

As a Developer Relations Engineer at Descope, you’ll serve as a key connection between our platform and the developer community.

Developer Relations Engineers at Descope are deeply embedded in the community. They support customers and prospects, gather valuable product feedback, and help shape our roadmap.

  • Design and develop remote and in-person training sessions and events for new and existing developers. Work with the marketing team to plan, promote, and deliver sessions to increase community awareness and expertise - virtual events, hackathons, conferences, etc.
  • Lead and manage conversations across Descope’s developer channels, including Slack, forums, GitHub discussions, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and more. Ensure timely, helpful engagement and feedback loops.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product and marketing to launch new features and services with clear, accessible messaging and high-quality technical resources.
  • Build technical demos, guides, and video walkthroughs for use in events, docs, and online campaigns. Contribute to and integrate with open-source projects, platform plugins, and software marketplaces to showcase Descope’s capabilities in real-world scenarios.

  • 5 years of experience supporting developers in technical roles—whether at startups or enterprises—guiding teams through onboarding, prototyping, and full production integrations. Significant focus on agentic AI in recent years is expected.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You can explain complex technical topics clearly to a wide range of audiences and feel confident engaging in both written and spoken formats.
  • Strong software development background. Proficient in JavaScript (React, Node.js, Next.js) and experienced with additional languages like Go, Python, or others. Familiarity with full-stack development and SDK design is a plus.Proven ability to create high-quality content, including documentation, sample apps, blog posts, and presentations.
