Staff AI Platform Software Engineer

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. 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: 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.
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
7+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time on platform, SDK, or developer-tooling work

• Strong Node.js fundamentals; A track record of designing and shipping APIs or developer-facing surfaces at scale
• A bias for execution - you ship, you learn fast, and you make the people around you better

Work with agent frameworks, AI-facing APIs, or developer toolchains in the LLM space
