Senior Software Engineer, Platform Infrastructure

The Auth0 platform secures more than 100 million logins each day for customers all around the world - and we're growing fast! The Platform Infrastructure team enables Auth0 engineers to move faster by giving them tools to easily deploy and manage their services on AWS and Azure. This is a role with a huge impact. You will get to work with engineers throughout the organization and what you build will be a foundational piece of the infrastructure that allows Auth0 to scale for years to come.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is passionate about distributed systems, availability, and delivering customer value. Because we build and support the overall Auth0 platform, the ideal candidate is someone who is passionate about infrastructure, operations, and not intimidated by cross-organization coordination and collaboration.

• Implement a platform runtime that allows development teams to deploy and manage their services on Kubernetes in AWS and Azure.
• Research and implement solutions that address cross cutting concerns such as service discovery, configuration, routing and scaling.
• Design and develop new services, tools and automation to expose environment functionality to other Auth0 engineering teams.
• Coach and mentor engineers at all levels up to their peer level.
• Discover and advocate for new technologies to accelerate new environment creation.
• Carry cross team initiatives from end to end: code reviews, design reviews, operational robustness, security hygiene, etc.
• Participate in the team's on-call rotation.
  
  

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have 6+ years of software development experience.
