Overview

Auth0 provides the simplest and most secure identity platform for developers to make the internet safer. We believe in crafted software, in end-to-end ownership of projects and hyper-fast iterations. The company continues to grow rapidly and services major startups and enterprise customers. We are processing hundreds of millions of logins for thousands of customers from startups to big organizations.

We are looking for an engineer to join our “Platform Management” team, to help us refine both our APIs and Dashboard, while ensuring they remain stable, secure, and developer-friendly.

You will

  • Design, build, and maintain public APIs, used by Auth0 customers, as well as internal services and systems
  • Debug production issues across multiple levels of our stack
  • Collaborate with fellow engineers to build new features at large-scale
  • Refine engineering practices, standards, and tooling

You might be a good fit for this role if you

  • Have a history of developing and supporting intuitive and robust APIs
  • Are familiar with the challenges and approaches for designing interconnected, scalable systems
  • Take an iterative approach to development, dividing long-term goals into incremental milestones
  • Thrive in a fast-paced and collaborative environment
  • Have familiarity with the tools we currently use, such as NodeJS, ElasticSearch, and MongoDB.  However, we always try to use the best tool for the job, therefore we care more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or tool.
  • Have experience working in a remote-first organization
  • Place a high value on security

You might work on

  • Building a new API for our users, or iterating on existing APIs
  • Assisting our support and teams to help our customers make the best use of our APIs
  • Adding metrics to measure usage of a feature, and using the results to inform suggestions for improvements
  • Refactoring existing code to accommodate new features or standards
  • Tuning our ElasticSearch cluster to support arbitrary metadata searches
  • Increasing visibility into our background job processing system, and improving its resistance to failures

It’s not expected that a single candidate has expertise in all these areas.  We’re looking for professional engineers, who can quickly learn and adapt as our systems and situation changes, rather than candidates with a rigid skill set.

About Auth0

Auth0 is an enterprise-grade platform for modern identity. We give you tools that eliminate the friction of authentication for your applications and APIs - all accessible through your account dashboard.

You can easily and quickly connect your apps, choose identity providers, add users, set up rules, customize your login page and access analytics from your Auth0 dashboard. It really is identity made simple for developers.

We're a team of developers that got tired of the friction caused by complex identity environments. So we built a zero-friction, infinitely extensible, enterprise-class web-scale cloud solution that makes identity easy.

Ultimately, we strive for an internet with less passwords. Our goal is to make authentication and authorization easy, powering the login boxes of every application in the world. We're looking for people to join us on this journey.
