The opportunity
We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to build the platform surfaces that developers and AI agents use to configure, extend, and interact with Auth0. You'll work at the intersection of API platform design, developer tooling, and emerging standards like MCP (Model Context Protocol).
What you'll do
Design and build developer-facing platform surfaces: APIs, MCP tools, CLI integrations, that hold up whether the caller is a developer or an agent
Own technical direction for key platform surfaces that make Auth0 consumable by agents
Drive cross-cutting technical decisions that keep our platform coherent and easy to build on
Operate peer-to-peer with tech leads across teams: own your work, unblock others, and raise the execution bar
Bring developer's empathy to everything you ship: you understand how developers consume APIs and you design accordingly
+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time on platform, SDK, or developer-tooling work
What they're looking for
- Strong Node.js fundamentals; Go a plus
- A track record of designing and shipping APIs or developer-facing surfaces at scale
- Comfort owning ambiguous problems without heavy top-down scoping
- Hands-on familiarity with agentic tooling, MCP, or LLM-facing API design - a: meaningful differentiator for this role
