The Product
Okta’s Customer Identity Cloud (CIC), powered by Auth0 technology, 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-Ø global service to deliver convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation.
The Team
The Organizations team is expanding Auth0 to help B2B SaaS applications easily manage access for their own customers and partners, at scale. We make it possible for enterprise SaaS users to log in with the right set of permissions within the right context, and are building on top of that to make logging in and managing organizations more flexible and delightful to use. Our work is cross-cutting and always heavily customer driven.
We work in NodeJS (JavaScript and TypeScript) and use PostgreSQL for our data needs. Our services run on AWS and Azure and we lean heavily on containers for both our development and production needs.
If you like taking hard problems at scale and making them simpler and enjoy solving both customer and technical challenges we can’t wait to talk to you.
What you’ll be doing
Collaborate with engineers both inside and outside the team to design and deliver powerful new organizations functionality for our SaaS customers - both for the login flow itself and for Auth0’s organization management capabilities
Drive technical improvements to our codebase and architecture
Mentor and coach less experienced engineers on sound engineering practices
Review customer interview feedback with Product
What you’ll bring to the role
You have previous experience using Node.js (JavaScript or Typescript) and creating and maintaining public APIs.
You have worked on full-stack apps in the past - you don’t need to be an expert but some of our work is on the frontend as well
You like working on systems that are highly-reliable, maintainable and scalable.
You have experience and an eye for good engineering practices and testing, and love to share them.
You work autonomously but know when to seek help from your team members.
You are a good mentor and communicator, and bring the rest of your team along for the journey.
You have experience with Docker and cloud environments (AWS and Azure preferred).
And extra credit if you have experience in any of the following!
IAM/OAuth2 experience.
Understanding and experience of DevOps culture. We have infrastructure teams that build interfaces for product teams but we love working with engineers who can reason about the workings under the covers - and roll their sleeves up to write some Terraform, if need be.
Good SQL knowledge and experience - we have some large datasets and need to make sure our schemas and queries are performant
Knowledge of security engineering and application security.
