THE CORE SERVICE INTERFACES TEAM

The Core Service Interfaces team owns the building blocks and core services that power how developers and administrators interact

with Auth0, from the customer-facing Management API to the backend that drives the Management Dashboard.

We streamline and bring consistency to how we build customer facing APIs for Auth0, standardizing our architecture and providing a

robust set of building blocks to enhance the internal and external developer experience when consuming, building, and contributing

to our APIs. We are responsible for the development and stewardship of our customer facing Management API.

We also own and maintain the core backend services for the Management Dashboard, from end to end. We are consolidating and

modernizing the dashboard foundation, moving toward a more reliable, scalable, and secure platform that makes dashboard

development easy.

This team's work shapes how developers get started with and manage their Auth0 resources, from onboarding through day-to-day

administration of their APIs and dashboard.

We have embraced AI-assisted development as a core part of how we work. Our engineers use tools like Claude and GitHub Copilot

every day to design, build, test, and ship faster, and we expect everyone on the team to make the most of them.

Design and develop features, APIs, and fixes to handle our current and future scale with a strong bias towards security
Own and evolve the core backend services for the Management Dashboard, including authentication, API proxying, and session

management

Improve the resilience and stability of our services, including managing session stores and enabling appropriate rate limits to

meet high-availability standards

Support service integration and migration work, including managing dashboard infrastructure across multiple environments
Support existing services by ensuring that security issues and dependency updates are addressed in a timely manner
Support other teams by reviewing changes to services they depend on and addressing bugs
Work using NodeJS (JavaScript/TypeScript), MongoDB, and PostgreSQL on AWS and Azure

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. GET TO KNOW THE TEAM The Developer Platform team at Auth0 (an Okta company) owns the surfaces developers use to build with Auth0 - APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and the tooling that shapes how developers experience identity. Software is increasingly built by developers working alongside AI agents, and that shift raises the bar on every interface we ship: APIs have to be consumable by agents, tools have to be discoverable, and our platform has to hold up when an agent - not just a person, is the one calling it. We're looking for an engineer who already builds with those skills. We move fast, we own problems end-to-end, and we care deeply about the developer experience we put in front of people. THE OPPORTUNITY We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to build the platform surfaces that developers and AI agents use to configure, extend, and interact with Auth0. You'll work at the intersection of API platform design, developer tooling, and emerging standards like MCP (Model Context Protocol). You'll take on ambiguous, high-leverage problems alongside a group of strong senior and staff engineers, and you'll have real influence over how our platform is built for a world where agents are first-class consumers. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING * Design and build developer-facing platform surfaces - APIs, MCP tools, CLI integrations, that hold up whether the caller is a developer or an agent * Own technical direction for key platform surfaces that make Auth0 consumable by agents * Drive cross-cutting technical decisions that keep our platform coherent and easy to build on * Operate peer-to-peer with tech leads across teams: own your work, unblock others, and raise the execution bar * Bring developer's empathy to everything you ship - you understand how developers consume APIs and you design accordingly WHAT YOU'LL BRING * 7+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time on platform, SDK, or developer-tooling work * Strong Node.js fundamentals; Go a plus * A track record of designing and shipping APIs or developer-facing surfaces at scale * Comfort owning ambiguous problems without heavy top-down scoping * Hands-on familiarity with agentic tooling, MCP, or LLM-facing API design - a meaningful differentiator for this role * Experience collaborating across engineering, product, and architecture in a fast-moving environment * A bias for execution - you ship, you learn fast, and you make the people around you better EXTRA CREDIT * Experience with identity, authorization, or IAM platforms * Work with agent frameworks, AI-facing APIs, or developer toolchains in the LLM space * Background at a company where developers are the primary customer P-1064 #LI-Hybrid Below is the annual salary range for candidates located in Canada.
