Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core of business security and growth.
At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box – we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.
Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
The Team
We are a small team of engineers exploring new Auth0 products and features ideas. We take things from 0 to 1 and we look to shape the future of identity.
Our team has had a big role shaping the identity industry. We were all early at Auth0, which shaped how devs do authentication. And as part of Auth0Lab we incubated Auth0 FGA which redefined how authorization is done across the industry.
Our current focus is enabling builders and companies of any size to ship production grade GenAI apps and agents, by helping them with identity and security. We incubated Auth for GenAI, and we have a few more ideas around this that we are currently working on 🙂
Join our team to have fun learning and collaborating with a great group of people, while having the opportunity to shape a huge industry: how developers everywhere implement auth!
What you’ll be doing
We are looking for a very senior, knowledgeable Principal Architect that both wants to be hands on and think about the industry big picture at the same time:
- Implement proof of concepts and demos of new products, features or standard implementations in our products. We have a dedicated environment for these here.
- Lead industry wide efforts and protocols (e.g. MCP, A2A) around identity with recommendations, samples, SDKs
- Implement samples and SDKs to make it easy to use Auth0 capabilities
- Research market adjacencies to inform company strategy, m&a decisions and future investment ideas
What you’ll bring to the role
- You love to learn and are able to do so quickly
- You know how computers work and can apply that to solve hard problems, period.
- You constantly strive to hit the right balance between simplicity and flexibility
- You have a talent to grok customer’s needs and continuously iterate on your understanding of a problem space based on their feedback, industry trends and available technology
- You are able to work in a team environment, have good communication skills and understand the value of collaboration
- Nice to have: can design and architect large scale distributed systems
- Understand the cost implications of cloud systems you design
- Have 15+ years of software development experience (backend)
- Have 5+ years of identity experience and working on cloud services
- Have 3+ years of experience working in developer tooling or strong passion and demonstrable taste for it
