Staff Software Engineer (Developer Platform (Auth0))
Company: Okta
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Type: Full-time
Posted: 2026-07-05
About this role
- The Developer Platform team at Auth0 (an Okta company) owns the surfaces developers use to build with Auth0 - APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and the tooling that shapes how developers experience identity
- Software is increasingly built by developers working alongside AI agents, and that shift raises the bar on every interface we ship: APIs have to be consumable by agents, tools have to be discoverable, and our platform has to hold up when an agent - not just a person, is the one calling it
- We’re looking for an engineer who already builds with those skills
- We move fast, we own problems end-to-end, and we care deeply about the developer experience we put in front of people
- We’re hiring a Staff Software Engineer to build the platform surfaces that developers and AI agents use to configure, extend, and interact with Auth0
- You’ll work at the intersection of API platform design, developer tooling, and emerging standards like MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- You’ll take on ambiguous, high-leverage problems alongside a group of strong senior and staff engineers, and you’ll have real influence over how our platform is built for a world where agents are first-class consumers
- Design and build developer-facing platform surfaces - APIs, MCP tools, CLI integrations, that hold up whether the caller is a developer or an agent
- Own technical direction for key platform surfaces that make Auth0 consumable by agents
- Drive cross-cutting technical decisions that keep our platform coherent and easy to build on
- Operate peer-to-peer with tech leads across teams: own your work, unblock others, and raise the execution bar
- Bring developer’s empathy to everything you ship - you understand how developers consume APIs and you design accordingly
