Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human
\nIdentity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Auth0 secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organisations to safely embrace this new era. 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.
\nThis is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.
\nWe are looking for a Senior Architect to join our Emerging Technologies organisation. This is a high-leverage, hands-on engineering role designed for a technical leader who wants to stay in the code while steering the architectural direction of our most ambitious bets.
\nYou will be a core contributor and architectural anchor for two high-priority workstreams:
\nFine-Grained Authorization (FGA) | Scaling 1 to 10
\nTo build a world-class, low-latency FGA system that remains resilient under the industry's most complex identity hierarchies. We are looking for an architect who views authorisation not as a set of rules, but as a massive-scale graph computation problem that requires elegant, distributed, and mathematically rigorous solutions.
\nThe Work:
\nAlgorithmic Innovation: Moving beyond naive graph algorithms to implement probabilistic structures and fixpoint algorithms capable of navigating massive organisational hierarchies without computational or memory exhaustion.
\nGraph Resolution Heuristics: Engineering workload-aware heuristics that can intelligently prioritise and resolve graph queries based on complexity cost, maintaining low latency even when faced with high-cardinality data sets and deep nesting.
\nFixpoint & Cycle Resolution: Solving for complex resolution requirements, such as circular references and recursive paths, in a horizontally scaled environment where traditional distributed patterns fail to meet our performance mandates.
\nScaling the Probabilistic Logic: Designing the engine to utilise non-deterministic approaches where exact computation is too expensive, ensuring the system remains mathematically rigorous while operating at the limits of global scale.
\nAI Products | 0 to 1
\nWe are pioneering the 'Agentic Identity' space. This workstream is focused on building foundational products that secure AI Agents and provide developers with the tools to manage identity in an autonomous world.
\nThe Work: Rapidly architecting and shipping 0-to-1 product offerings that define how agents interact securely.
\nThe Goal: Establish our platform as the standard for securing the next generation of AI-driven applications.
\nCore Responsibilities
\nArchitectural Acceleration: Don't just design it, build it. You will accelerate teams by writing critical-path code and providing the architectural 'connective tissue' between complex systems.
\nAlgorithmic Leadership: Apply deep expertise in graph theory and distributed systems to solve the unique scaling challenges of our FGA domain.
\nTechnical Strategy: Partner with product leadership to define the technical roadmap for securing AI agents, ensuring our 0-to-1 bets are built on a sustainable foundation.
\nHigh-Bar Engineering: Set the standard for code quality, system design, and engineering excellence across the Emerging Tech group.
\nQualifications
\nSenior Architect-Level Technical Depth: Extensive experience as a Senior Architect or Distinguished Engineer with a history of shipping complex, large-scale systems.
\nHands-on Practitioner: You still love coding. You prefer to prove an architectural concept with a PR rather than a slide deck.
\nDomain Expertise: Strong background in Authorisation/Identity and a mastery of Graph Algorithms.
\nAdaptability: Comfortable shifting between the rigors of scaling a '1-to-10' product and the ambiguity of a '0-to-1' AI initiative.
