Define and evolve Auth0's strategy for building, operating, and securing AI agents and agentic applications. - Shape the product and technical strategy for agentic identity, including how agents authenticate, receive delegated authority, access resources, establish trust, and maintain auditable boundaries. - Define approaches for securely exposing protected resources to authorized agents. - Partner closely with Product Management and Engineering leaders to turn strategic opportunities into clear product bets, architectural principles, product requirements, and durable platform capabilities. - Help design and implement core identity capabilities that enable secure agent-to-resource and agent-to-agent interactions. - Develop an informed perspective on emerging technologies and standards. - Identify important industry shifts early, assess their implications for customers and the identity ecosystem, and communicate a clear point of view internally and externally. - Work directly with strategic customers to understand their AI and identity architectures, uncover unmet needs, validate product direction, and help them build securely. - Collaborate with Security, Legal, Privacy, and Trust teams to ensure that AI-related identity capabilities are secure, responsible, compliant, and usable in real-world enterprise environments. - Represent Auth0 and Okta in the developer and identity communities through technical content, speaking engagements, customer conversations, standards participation, and open-source engagement. - Build prototypes, reference implementations, and technical demonstrations using technologies such as Node.js, React, Python, and Go. - Partner with Developer Relations and Go-to-Market teams to make complex identity and AI concepts approachable for developers, architects, customers, and partners. - Raise the technical bar across the organization by mentoring others, documenting architectural patterns, and creating clarity in an evolving technical landscape. ## Requirements - Significant experience in product architecture, technical product management, software architecture, platform engineering, developer platforms, or a similarly customer- and technology-facing leadership role. - Experience building and shipping AI-powered applications, agentic systems, developer tools, or platforms used by developers to build them. - Deep expertise in modern identity and authorization standards, especially OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, workload identity, token exchange, delegated authorization, API authorization, and related identity protocols. - A strong understanding of how to securely design access to APIs, tools, data, and services in distributed systems. - Practical familiarity with the emerging agent ecosystem, including MCP, agent-to-agent interactions, tool invocation, AI application architectures, and the evolving questions around agent identity, authorization, delegation, consent, intent, and auditability. - Demonstrated ability to develop a strategy in ambiguous, quickly evolving markets and turn it into concrete product and technical decisions. - Experience working directly with enterprise customers, developers, and partners to solve complex technical problems and influence product direction. - Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain deeply technical topics to technical and non-technical audiences alike. - A strong external presence in relevant technical communities through speaking, standards work, open-source contributions, technical writing, or other visible contributions. - Comfort operating as a senior individual contributor across organizational boundaries, influencing without direct authority and driving alignment among diverse stakeholders. - Strong software development skills and comfort writing code in one or more of Node.js/TypeScript, React, Python, or Go. ## Nice to Have - Experience contributing to or participating in identity, security, AI, or agent-related standards organizations and open-source projects. - Experience designing developer-facing authentication, authorization, API security, or identity platform products. - Experience with enterprise SaaS, B2B platforms, consumer-facing applications, or both. - Experience with authorization policy systems, fine-grained authorization, consent, entitlements, and delegated access models. - Experience building or operating MCP servers, AI agent platforms, AI-enabled workflows, or agent-to-agent systems. - Experience with cloud security, workload identity, zero trust, API gateways, service-to-service authorization, or secure software supply chains. - A track record of helping organizations navigate major platform shifts, such as cloud, mobile, API-first development, or AI. - A pragmatic approach to innovation: excitement about emerging technology paired with a clear understanding of security, customer value, operational realities, and adoption barriers. ## Benefits -
