WorkOS provides an API platform for enterprise identity features including SSO, Directory Sync (SCIM), User Management, Audit Logging and RBAC, with SDKs for seven-plus languages.
WorkOS, founded in 2019, is an API platform that handles the enterprise features software companies must implement to sell to large organisations: User Management, Single Sign-On, Directory Sync (SCIM), Audit Logging and Role-Based Access Control. Its Single Sign-On product supports any SAML or OIDC identity provider through a single integration. The platform underpins authentication, identity and authorization infrastructure for firms moving upmarket.
The developer offering centres on RESTful APIs with JSON responses and normalized objects, complemented by SDKs for Node.js, Ruby, Python, .NET, Go, PHP and Java. Technical work spans authentication, identity management, SAML, OIDC, SCIM, authorization, developer APIs and SDK development. WorkOS claims that using its platform rather than building these capabilities in-house saves roughly nine months of engineering time.
The company operates in the SaaS, enterprise software, developer tools and identity and access management sectors. Its customer base includes OpenAI, Cursor, Perplexity, Vercel and Plaid. WorkOS raised $100m in a Series C round and is valued at $2bn.
