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.

Staff Software Engineer, Security Engineering

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.

 

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer that will join the Auth0 Security Engineering organization.

  • Engineering Quality: Write clean, testable, and well-documented code while driving technical designs and participating in code reviews to maintain high engineering standards.
  • Mentorship & Influence: You raise the bar for the entire organization by mentoring junior engineers and influencing senior leadership on critical security decisions.

  • Security Mindset: Practical experience building platform security controls, managing service permissions, and applying secure coding practices.
  • Education : A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Systems Engineering, or a related field.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with high-throughput streaming platforms or log processing tools (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub, Vector).
  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and Policy-as-Code tools.
  • Familiarity with compliance standards (FedRAMP, SOC2) and security frameworks in multi-cloud environments.
