Okta is seeking an Associate Solutions Engineer (P2) to join the Solutions Engineering team supporting Commercial accounts. The SE team operates at the intersection of hands-on software development and strategic customer engagement, advising developers, software architects, and technology leaders on building modern, secure, and friction-free login and identity experiences using the Auth0 platform.
In this role, you will partner with Commercial Account Executives and experienced Solutions Engineers to guide fast-growing mid-market and commercial customers through technical evaluation of the Auth0 platform. You'll work in a dynamic, high-velocity environment alongside innovative engineering teams, tech leads, and product owners across diverse industries.
Key responsibilities include:
- Partner with Commercial Account Executives to drive technical discovery, qualify technical fit, and deliver compelling, developer-centric demonstrations of Auth0 across a high-volume pipeline
- Build sample applications, configure authentication flows, and develop custom prototypes using SDKs, APIs, and Auth0 Actions to validate specific customer use cases and architectures
- Lead and assist in authoring technical responses to security questionnaires, RFIs, and architectural inquiries with speed and precision
- Walk software engineers, engineering managers, and product leads through API documentation, SDK implementations, token handling, and best practices for modern web and mobile applications
- Navigate fast-paced commercial sales cycles by rapidly diagnosing technical objections, addressing architectural edge cases, and demonstrating time-to-value
- Stay current with identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, JWT) and modern cloud application security trends, while collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Developer Relations, and Customer Success
This is an ideal role for an early-career technologist with a solid foundation in software development or web architecture who loves customer engagement, problem-solving, and bringing code to life through live demos and technical proof-of-concepts.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 1–2 years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Solutions Engineering, Technical Support, Professional Services, or Technical Consulting) or equivalent experience in software engineering with a strong desire to transition into commercial presales
- Hands-on programming experience in one or more modern languages (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, C#, or similar)
- Solid understanding of modern web and mobile application architectures, RESTful APIs, HTTP methods, JSON, and testing tools like Postman or cURL
- Foundational knowledge of authentication and authorization concepts, including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), Single Sign-On (SSO), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate technical concepts clearly to both technical builders and commercial business stakeholders
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Direct experience integrating or configuring the Auth0 platform, developer SDKs, or similar identity libraries
- Exposure to front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Next.js) or mobile development (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter)
- Basic familiarity with cloud infrastructure platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and serverless environments
- Experience in high-velocity sales environments or working with commercial/mid-market technology companies
- Active contributions to hackathons, developer meetups, open-source projects, or technical blogs
