Job Description

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.

We never compromise on identity. You should never compromise yours either. We want you to bring your whole self to Auth0. If you're passionate, practice radical transparency to build trust and respect, and thrive when you're collaborating, experimenting and learning – this may be your ideal work environment. We are looking for team members that want to help us build upon what we have accomplished so far and make it better every day. N+1 > N.

Here at Auth0 we’re focused on securing the world’s identities so innovators can innovate. We’re currently hiring a Staff Software Engineer for the Identity Security Insights team.
