Technical Account Manager

About Clerk

Clerk is on a mission to solve user management once and for all. We are a globally distributed team dedicated to providing best-in-class developer experience, with obsessive attention to every detail. Today, we provide developers with full-stack React components and hooks like , , , useUser, and useOrganization. These APIs allow developers to build hard-to-get-right user and organization management flows. We believe that a component is worth a thousand APIs.

About the role

It’s an exciting time for Clerk, coming off a year of record user growth and product launches that further our vision of making authentication and user management intuitive and enjoyable.

As our first Technical Account Manager, you’ll partner with our most strategic customers to ensure they’re successful at every stage — from onboarding through scaling and beyond. You’ll combine technical expertise with a users-first mindset to help customers integrate Clerk seamlessly and grow their usage over time. You’ll also be their voice to internal teams like product and engineering and identify ways to help improve Clerk.

Because this is a founding role, you’ll also play a key part in defining what Technical Account Management looks like at Clerk — setting standards, building frameworks, and shaping how we engage with customers as we scale.

What you’ll do

• Serve as the primary technical partner for our top accounts, ensuring smooth onboarding, integration, and adoption.

• Troubleshoot technical challenges, while focusing on long-term solutions for strategic customers.

• Act as a trusted advisor: share best practices, recommend features, and guide customers toward maximizing Clerk’s value.

• Track account health metrics, anticipate risks, and proactively address issues before they become blockers.

• Represent the voice of the customer internally, shaping Clerk’s product roadmap and go-to-market motion.

• Define and evolve Clerk’s Technical Account Management function — from processes to tooling to metrics — as the founding team member.

Who you are

• Have a background working in a customer-facing technical role (TAM, solutions engineer, success engineer, or similar).

• You have experience working with some of the languages we interact with most often (Next.js, React, JavaScript, Node.js, Go and shadcn).

• You’re comfortable engaging both technical (developers, architects) and business (PMs, execs) stakeholders.

• You can debug technical workflows, read APIs/SDKs, and confidently guide enterprise customers through implementation decisions.

• You communicate clearly, empathetically, and with authority — whether in email, Slack, or live calls.

• You balance technical problem-solving with a forward-looking focus on customer outcomes and account health.

• Thrive in a cross-functional, collaborative environment.

• Bonus: Experience in developer tools, authentication/identity, or supporting enterprise SaaS customers at scale.
