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 Auth0 Platform Tools team owns the incident management tooling, Slack-based tooling, StatusPage, and local development environments that Auth0 engineers rely on every day. That includes incident.io and the services we have built around it, Statuspage, custom Slack bot applications that automate our incident response and engineering operations workflows, the customer-facing web application behind status.auth0.com, Vivaldi, and Tilt - the tools engineers use to run Auth0 locally.
We are seeking an engineer to help build new features across all of these tools. Our stack is primarily TypeScript and Node.js, with a React and Next.js front end, backed by Postgres and Redis, and deployed on Kubernetes on AWS. A significant portion of our incident and engineering operations automation is built on Tines, a no-code automation platform. Prior no-code experience is welcome, but we expect you to learn Tines here and become effective with it. Current initiatives include extending our incident tooling to meet FedRAMP requirements, taking full ownership of the status page, and improving how we communicate incident status to customers. There is real room to improve along the way, from test coverage to resilience to inherited technical debt.
We build for two audiences: Auth0 engineers, who depend on our tooling every day, and Auth0's customers, who rely on the status page during incidents. We are looking for an engineer who cares about both and enjoys working with other teams to ensure we deliver the best possible solution. We want someone who likes learning new things, automating away repetitive work, and truly making people's day-to-day work easier.
