Okta, Inc. - Engineering Architect
Requirements
• Deep experience designing developer-facing products: SDKs, APIs, CLIs, documentation systems, or developer portals • A strong point of view on what great DX looks like — and the ability to identify, articulate, and fix where it falls short • Familiarity with the emerging AX space: agent-readable documentation formats, MCP servers, agent skills, and how AI agents consume APIs and tooling auth0.com • Knowledge of Identity protocols such as OAuth, OIDC, and SAML, and how they surface in developer-facing products • Experience working across multiple product surfaces to drive consistency — you've seen what fragmentation looks like and know how to fix it • Hands-on coding ability: this is not a purely advisory role; you'll be expected to build, prototype, and contribute directly • Very strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence engineers, product managers, and designers • Ability to drive technical decisions to conclusion while balancing quality, velocity, and pragmatism • Excellence at creating clarity and alignment across teams without direct authority • Experience contributing to or maintaining open source SDKs or libraries • Familiarity with structured content and documentation systems designed for LLM consumption (llms.txt, OpenAPI, structured changelogs) • Experience with frontend or full-stack development, particularly in the context of developer tooling or product surfaces like Universal Login • #P24597_3406311 • Supporting Your Well-Being • Driving Social Impact • Developing Talent and Fostering Connection + Community • We are intentional about connection. Our global community, spanning over 20 offices worldwide, is united by a drive to innovate. Your journey begins with an immersive, in-person onboarding experience designed to accelerate your impact and connect you to our mission and team from day one.
Responsibilities
• Define and drive the architectural vision for DX, UX, and AX across Auth0's public products, SDKs, and APIs • Identify and address inconsistencies across Auth0's product surfaces, establishing patterns and standards that make the experience feel unified and intentional • Architect and contribute to the SDK and API design layer, ensuring our developer-facing interfaces are ergonomic, consistent, and built for both human and agent consumers • Design and build agent skills, guardrails, and contextual tooling (MCP servers, SKILL.md, llms.txt, structured documentation) that enable agents to build correctly with Auth0 • Embed within Engineering teams for large initiatives, providing architectural guidance and lighter-touch direction for smaller efforts • Partner closely with the Design team as a key stakeholder, ensuring engineering implementation reflects and reinforces the product's UX direction • Contribute to Auth0's Developer Experience Principles in practice — not just as guidance, but through hands-on implementation that raises the bar • Lead by doing: reviewing, prototyping, and contributing code across SDKs, tooling, and documentation systems • Participate in our Engineering Leadership Team with other architects, directors, and executives • Mentor and uplevel engineers across the organization on experience-focused architecture
Benefits
• This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes.
