Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human
Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables
organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world
stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.
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 Okta
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.
Auth0 is an easy-to-implement authentication and authorization platform designed by developers for developers. We make access to
applications safe, secure, and seamless for the more than 100 million daily logins around the world. Our modern approach to
identity enables this Tier-0 global service to deliver convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation.
The Engineering Architect Team
The Architecture team is a small group of very senior engineers reporting to our VP of Engineering Excellence, working broadly
across the organization in collaboration with Engineering, Product, and Security. We partner deeply with other Engineering teams
for large projects, and provide direction and architectural guidance for smaller initiatives. We have a dual-pronged charter to
"level up the tech stack and level up the people stack" via both technical contributions and partnerships and mentoring.
The Role
Auth0 is a developer product at its core — and increasingly, the developers building with us aren't just humans. AI agents are now
a first-class consumer of our SDKs, APIs, and documentation.
This role owns the architectural vision for how Auth0 is experienced across three dimensions: DX (Developer Experience — how human
developers build with Auth0), UX (User Experience — how users experience Auth0 products), and AX (Agentic Experience — how AI
agents interact with and build on Auth0).
You'll work across our SDK ecosystem, public APIs, documentation, and product surfaces to ensure that every touchpoint is
consistent, delightful, and easy to build on — whether the builder is a human or an agent.
You'll also contribute directly to how we build internally: creating the skills, guardrails, and patterns that our own in-house
agents use, ensuring that agent-assisted development at Auth0 produces the same high-quality, consistent output as human-led
development.
What you'll be doing
- Define and drive the architectural vision for DX, UX, and AX across Auth0's public products, SDKs, and APIs
- Identify and address inconsistencies across Auth0's product surfaces, establishing patterns and standards that make the
experience feel unified and intentional
- Architect and contribute to the SDK and API design layer, ensuring our developer-facing interfaces are ergonomic, consistent,
and built for both human and agent consumers
- Design and build agent skills, guardrails, and contextual tooling (MCP servers, SKILL.md, llms.txt, structured documentation)
that enable agents to build correctly with Auth0
- Embed within Engineering teams for large initiatives, providing architectural guidance and lighter-touch direction for smaller
efforts
- Partner closely with the Design team as a key stakeholder, ensuring engineering implementation reflects and reinforces the
product's UX direction
- Contribute to Auth0's Developer Experience Principles in practice — not just as guidance, but through hands-on implementation
that raises the bar
- Lead by doing: reviewing, prototyping, and contributing code across SDKs, tooling, and documentation systems
- Participate in our Engineering Leadership Team with other architects, directors, and executives
- Mentor and uplevel engineers across the organization on experience-focused architecture
What you'll bring to the role
- Experience : 15 to 20 year .
- Deep experience designing developer-facing products: SDKs, APIs, CLIs, documentation systems, or developer portals
- A strong point of view on what great DX looks like — and the ability to identify, articulate, and fix where it falls short
- Familiarity with the emerging AX space: agent-readable documentation formats, MCP servers, agent skills, and how AI agents
consume APIs and tooling auth0.com
- Knowledge of Identity protocols such as OAuth, OIDC, and SAML, and how they surface in developer-facing products
- Experience working across multiple product surfaces to drive consistency — you've seen what fragmentation looks like and know
how to fix it
- Hands-on coding ability: this is not a purely advisory role; you'll be expected to build, prototype, and contribute directly
- Very strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence engineers, product managers, and designers
- Ability to drive technical decisions to conclusion while balancing quality, velocity, and pragmatism
- Excellence at creating clarity and alignment across teams without direct authority
Extra credit:
- Experience contributing to or maintaining open source SDKs or libraries
- Familiarity with structured content and documentation systems designed for LLM consumption (llms.txt, OpenAPI, structured
changelogs)
- Experience with frontend or full-stack development, particularly in the context of developer tooling or product surfaces like
Universal Login
