Principal Software Engineer (Auth0)

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.

The Auth0Lab Team

We are a small team of engineers exploring new Auth0 products and features ideas. We take things from 0 to 1 and we look to shape the future of identity.

Our team has had a big role shaping the identity industry. We were all early at Auth0, which shaped how devs do authentication. And as part of Auth0Lab we incubated Auth0 FGA which redefined how authorization is done across the industry.

Our current focus is enabling builders and companies of any size to ship production grade GenAI apps and agents, by helping them with identity and security. We incubated Auth for GenAI, and we have a few more ideas around this that we are currently working on :), like humanprincipal.ai.

Join our team to have fun learning and collaborating with a great group of people, while having the opportunity to shape a huge industry: how developers everywhere implement auth!

What you’ll be doing

We are looking for a very senior, knowledgeable Principal engineer (P6) that both wants to be hands on and think about the industry big picture at the same time:

• Implement proof of concepts and demos of new products, features or standard implementations in our products. We have a dedicated environment for these here.
• Lead industry wide efforts and protocols (e.g. MCP, A2A) around identity with recommendations, samples, SDKs
• Implement samples and SDKs to make it easy to use Auth0 capabilities
• Research market adjacencies to inform company strategy, m&a decisions and future investment ideas
