Abstract
In this work, a supersymmetric DDF-like construction within the pure spinor formalism is presented. Starting with the light-cone massless vertices, the creation/annihilation algebra is derived in a simple manner, enabling a systematic construction of the physical vertex operators at any mass level in terms of SO(8) superfields, in both integrated and unintegrated forms.
