À propos

Overview Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core of business security and growth. At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you. The Engineering Architect Team Auth0 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 Architecture team is a small group of very senior engineers reporting to our Senior Director of Architecture, working broadly across the organization in collaboration with Engineering, Product, and Security. We partner deeply with other Engineering teams for large projects, and provide direction and architectural guidance for smaller initiatives. We have a dual-pronged charter to “level up the tech stack and level up the people stack” via both technical contributions and partnerships/mentoring. In this role, you will have the opportunity to significantly contribute to Okta’s future technology direction. Through your experience, knowledge of industry trends, and technical abilities you will provide guidance, build proof of concepts, and deliver production software implementations that help Auth0 Engineering teams move faster by using and developing standard patterns and technologies. You will also help advance the engineering culture and help uplevel other engineers. Note that while this role involves a lot of guidance, documentation, and leadership, it also requires substantial hands-on coding and development of both applications and systems. What You’ll Be Doing
As part of a team of seasoned Architects, you will collaborate with Product, Security, and Engineering teams to define and continually improve Auth0’s technology stack and architecture. Develop Architect-level expertise in authentication and authorization, leading initiatives to enhance, scale, and evolve Auth0’s product offerings. Embed within Engineering teams across the organization for large projects, while providing guidance and lighter touch engagements for smaller initiatives. Design, architect, and document large scale distributed systems. Lead the development of complex, broadly-scoped functionality in a very large and deep set of services and components. Teach by doing: coding, optimizing, and troubleshooting Node.js and Go applications in collaboration with feature development teams. Implement features and create consistent foundations using technologies such as AWS, Azure, Node.js, Go, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes. Investigate, understand, and resolve bottlenecks in our ability to scale, use resources efficiently, and maintain a 99.99% uptime SLA. Drive technical decision making while striving to find the right balance between factors such as simplicity, flexibility, reliability, cost, and performance. Participate in “round table” discussions and mentor team members and engineers throughout the organization to level up our people. Participate in our Engineering Leadership Team with other architects, directors, and executives. After spending time getting acquainted with our applications, systems, and processes, you’ll go through training to join our Incident Commander on-call rotation. Members of our team do periodic on-call rotation for high-severity incidents to help up-level our responses.
What You’ll Bring To The Role
Passion and thorough understanding of what it takes to build and operate secure, reliable systems at scale. Very strong written and verbal communication skills with a demonstrated ability to adjust your communication style to the intended audience, whether communicating with senior executives, customers, engineers, or product managers.
