The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Research and lead how we can use AI to protect customer tenants: both proactively (hardening posture before an attack) and during active incidents (accelerating detection, triage, and response)
Research and build protections against novel AI attacks that Auth0 and: Auth0's customers can be subjected to — adversarial ML, prompt injection, abuse of agentic protocols (MCP, A2A, UCP, and emerging equivalents), model and data poisoning — as they apply to identity systems and customer tenants
Partner with the identity security teams to help customers strengthen their: own tenant security posture through AI-assisted defenses
Research the emerging AI threat landscape and translate it into a: forward-looking (12–24 month) view of what we need to protect ourselves and our customers from — then architect, recommend, and build the tooling to get there
Review and harden Auth0's AI security offering, identifying gaps and: recommending mitigations before they're exploited
Partner across a globally distributed product-aligned team of security: engineers to turn research into shipped protections for customer tenants
What they're looking for
