Auth0 (part of Okta) is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Platform Infrastructure Datastores team. The Auth0 platform secures over 100 million logins daily for customers worldwide and is growing rapidly. In this role, you will develop and maintain Auth0's large, distributed, and highly-available infrastructure. You'll implement platform tools that enable feature teams to deploy and manage datastores for their services, research new technologies to accelerate environment creation, and carry cross-team initiatives from end to end—including code reviews, design reviews, operational robustness, and security hygiene. You'll also participate in the team's on-call rotation. You should have 5–8 years of software development experience with proficiency in or willingness to learn Golang. Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) is essential. You'll need comfort working with data storage systems at scale—PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB—and understanding datastore reliability metrics like latency, throughput, availability, and performance analysis. The ideal candidate is passionate about distributed systems, availability, and delivering customer value. You operate with ownership and accountability, deliver work incrementally for feedback, and thrive in a fully-distributed team environment. DevOps experience with cloud-native technologies and database expertise are valued additions. This is a foundational infrastructure role with significant organizational impact. You'll collaborate across Auth0 to build systems that enable the platform to scale reliably for years to come.
