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.
At Okta, we’re building the next generation of authentication for the Agentic AI era. We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to join our AI Ecosystems team – a group of product-minded, deeply technical engineers delivering features to allow our customers to leverage the current Agentic ecosystem and engage their developer and partner base, in a world increasingly powered by artificial intelligence.
This is a great opportunity for a Staff engineer with 8+ years of professional experience who thrives in collaborative environments, is eager to grow their technical depth, and wants to build scalable systems that solve real-world security problems.
Auth0 Emerging Tech is the Engineering organization where we take care of the hottest technology out there: we ship fast, we don’t break things. We are a dynamic and collaborative distributed and diverse team. We value ownership, learning and innovation.
We are currently focusing on boosting our customers’ offer by providing the ability to expose their own Developer Portal as a point of engagement for their own partners and developers. We’ll also be responsible for Auth0 integrations across different products and services in the Agentic space.
Auth0 works with NodeJS ( Javascript or Typescript), a hint of Go and MongoDB or PostgreSQL databases.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

• Bring expertise in identity and security while building innovative features and standards that will expose the Agentic AI ecosystem to our customers and their userbase.
• Build and maintain scalable services using TypeScript, NodeJS, and PostgreSQL/MongoDB.
• Collaborate with other product managers, designers, and senior engineers to deliver features that allow our customers to cover their user and partner needs for integrating with their APIs and products.
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code, and participate in code reviews and system design discussions.
• Provide technical direction to the team, detecting technical improvement opportunities and taking action to design and implement them.
• Contribute to observability and alerting systems to ensure reliability and performance of our services.
• Continuously learn and grow by working alongside experienced engineers on complex distributed systems.
• Share your knowledge and mentor other engineers to support their growth

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE:

• Solid programming experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and familiarity with NodeJS runtime environments.
• Practical experience with SQL and NoSQL databases (preferably Postgres and MongoDB).
• The ability to write well-tested, good quality code.
• An enjoyment of working in an iterative development environment.
• The ability to work well with technical and non-technical people to deliver high-value results.
• Strong context-switching capabilities to be able to contribute to several projects at once, within and beyond the team.
• Excellence when working autonomously, knowing when to seek help from team members.
• A systematic problem-solving approach, coupled with strong communication skills and a sense of ownership and drive.
• Experience and understanding of architecture principles across infrastructure platforms, security, data, integration, and application layers.
• Experience working on resilient products that can scale.
