You will primarily work with our NodeJS backend (TypeScript/JavaScript), with data stored in MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis, all running on a multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS and Azure). If you have a passion for simplifying complex problems, building resilient and secure software, and care deeply about the final "feel" of a product, we encourage you to apply. Experience with or an interest in Identity and Access Management is highly valued.

What you will do:

- Be a founding engineer of this new team in Bengaluru, setting the technical bar and engineering culture for our growing presence in the region and working in collaboration with our global teams in Europe and North America.
- Build and design  innovative features that extend the capabilities of Auth0’s platform to help our customers innovate around the world securely and delightfully.
- Contribute to the strategic technical quality, security, reliability, and scalability of our systems, and advocate for engineering best practices.
- Thrive in a highly collaborative and cross-functional environment, working with talented engineers and partners across Product, Security, Design, Architecture and QA to deliver features that delight our customers and ensure a unified technical vision.
- Deepen or gain expertise in identity, security, and modern cloud technologies (AWS, Azure) while working on distributed systems at scale.
- Mentor and be mentored by other engineers and contribute to our culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure our critical services remain healthy and reliable.

What you will bring:

- 5+ years of professional software development experience, or equivalent.
- Proficiency in designing and  building services with Node.js (JavaScript or TypeScript).
- Experience creating and maintaining public and secure APIs, as well as front ends.
- Experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems in a cloud environment (e.g., AWS, Azure).
- A strong commitment to quality, with experience in various testing strategies (e.g., unit, integration, end-to-end).
- A product-oriented mindset, with the ability to understand customer needs and work collaboratively to find effective solutions.
