About the role

Responsibilities:
- Auth0 is a developer product at its core — and increasingly, the developers building with us aren't just humans.
- AI agents are now a first-class consumer of our SDKs, APIs, and documentation.
- This role owns the architectural vision for how Auth0 is experienced across three dimensions: DX (Developer Experience — how human developers build with Auth0), UX (User Experience — how users experience Auth0 products), and AX (Agentic Experience — how AI agents interact with and build on Auth0).
- You'll work across our SDK ecosystem, public APIs, documentation, and product surfaces to ensure that every touchpoint is consistent, delightful, and easy to build on — whether the builder is a human or an agent.
- You'll also contribute directly to how we build internally: creating the skills, guardrails, and patterns that our own in-house agents use, ensuring that agent-assisted development at Auth0 produces the same high-quality, consistent output as human-led development.
- Define and drive the architectural vision for DX, UX, and AX across Auth0's public products, SDKs, and APIs
- Identify and address inconsistencies across Auth0's product surfaces, establishing patterns and standards that make the experience feel unified and intentional
- Architect and contribute to the SDK and API design layer, ensuring our developer-facing interfaces are ergonomic, consistent, and built for both human and agent consumers
- Design and build agent skills, guardrails, and contextual tooling (MCP servers, SKILL.md, llms.txt, structured documentation) that enable agents to build correctly with Auth0
- Embed within Engineering teams for large initiatives, providing architectural guidance and lighter-touch direction for smaller efforts
- Partner closely with the Design team as a key stakeholder, ensuring engineering implementation reflects and reinforces the product's UX direction
- Contribute to Auth0's Developer Experience Principles in practice — not just as guidance, but through hands-on implementation that raises the bar
- Lead by doing: reviewing, prototyping, and contributing code across SDKs, tooling, and documentation systems
- Participate in our Engineering Leadership Team with other architects, directors, and executives
- Mentor and uplevel engineers across the organization on experience-focused architecture
Qualifications:
- to the role
- Experience: 15 to 20 year.
- Deep experience designing developer-facing products: SDKs, APIs, CLIs, documentation systems, or developer portals
- A strong point of view on what great DX looks like — and the ability to identify, articulate, and fix where it falls short
- Familiarity with the emerging AX space: agent-readable documentation formats, MCP servers, agent skills, and how AI agents consume APIs and tooling auth0.com
- Knowledge of Identity protocols such as OAuth, OIDC, and SAML, and how they surface in developer-facing products
- Experience working across multiple product surfaces to drive consistency — you've seen what fragmentation looks like and know how to fix it
- Hands-on coding ability: this is not a purely advisory role; you'll be expected to build, prototype, and contribute directly
- Very strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence engineers, product managers, and designers
- Ability to drive technical decisions to conclusion while balancing quality, velocity, and pragmatism
- Excellence at creating clarity and alignment across teams without direct authority
- Extra credit:
- Experience contributing to or maintaining open source SDKs or libraries
- Familiarity with structured content and documentation systems designed for LLM consumption (llms.txt, OpenAPI, structured changelogs)
- Experience with frontend or full-stack development, particularly in the context of developer tooling or product surfaces like Universal Login
- LI-Hybrid #P24597_3406311
- Supporting Your Well-Being
- Driving Social Impact
- Developing Talent and Fostering Connection + Community
