At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we're looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. Join our team! We're building a world where Identity belongs to you. As a Developer Advocate, your job will be to empower developers to better secure their applications with Auth0.

These should focus on how to integrate Auth0 into AI/LLM-driven apps and help educate developers on securing GenAI workflows. * Community building: Cultivate and grow relationships with local developers and technical leaders in the AI/ML and GenAI space, championing their needs and driving awareness of Auth0's value in AI-powered development environments. * Developer advocacy - Advocate for developers' needs and pain points within the Auth0 Product unit in Okta, actively improving the Auth0 developer experience in and around the product. *
