WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
That said, I'm a software developer and I don't see any point in the distinction of calling someone a software or computer engineer based on education (with the exception of electronics engineers that work on hardware, but here I'm talking about software). A BSc or BEng in computer science or software development can give you a headstart but nothing that can't be self taught and in hiring I've been shocked by many postgrad engineers that couldn't answer simple questions and were outdone by self taught engineers. Make no mistake though - education is required (e.g. you're not going to learn data structures and algorithms through osmosis), but it doesn't have to be formalised as a degree.
