Job description

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human

Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

As a Developer Advocate, your job will be to empower developers to better secure their applications with Auth0. You will lead workshops, help create deeply technical content that delights, and support developers on their journey to implement Auth0 in their code. You’re a great match if you have the rare combination of empathy, technical savvy, and the ability to influence for impact.

Auth0 secures more than 100 million logins each day for customers worldwide—and we're growing fast! To help drive this growth, our mission is to become the customer identity and access management (CIAM) provider of choice for developers building small and large applications. To advance this mission, Developer Relations engages with developer communities to help them adopt Auth0 and advocate on their behalf across Okta.

What you’ll be doing:

• Outbound advocacy - As a Developer Advocate at Auth0, you will serve as the face of our platform to developers around the world, with a special focus on startups. Your role will involve inspiring, educating, and empowering developers to better secure their applications using Auth0. You will work closely with developers at startups helping them understand and implement best practices in identity, access management, and cybersecurity. The specific ways you engage will depend on your unique skill set, but your responsibilities will include:
• Public speaking: Represent Auth0 at industry events, conferences, and webinars, engaging the developer community and showcasing our expertise.
• Content creation: Develop and share high-quality technical content such as blog posts, tutorials, videos, and labs to educate and inspire developers about Auth0 and customer identity.
• Community Building: Build and nurture relationships with developers influential within the community and our customers.
• 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. 
• Proactively collaborate with your counterparts in Product and Architecture as a representative of the DevRel team
• Customer[0] - Collaborate on the crafting and launch of Auth0 capabilities - reviewing early documentation, SDKs, and product capabilities.
• Customer[n+1] - Bring insights and developer feedback back into the company to inform and shape product development and improvements in our documentation, APIs, SDKs, and features

We would love to hear from you if you have:

• Technical background or good understanding of Application Development and IT operations; familiarity with Identity and Authentication Management software, credentialing, and cybersecurity concepts a plus.
• Hands-on technical experience deploying, configuring, or implementing software tools and products.
• ​​You find joy in serving the developer community and helping fellow developers get better at their jobs, with the ability to explain and translate complex technology concepts into simple and intuitive communications.
• You are a strong independent contributor, but you enjoy collaborating with teammates and multi-functional teams.
• You find a fast-paced, constantly iterative environment engaging and stimulating.

We’d be incredibly excited if you have:

• Experience working as a Developer Advocate, Developer Evangelist, Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Customer Success Manager, or Technical Account Manager
• Experience with at least one authentication or authorization protocol (OAuth, OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, LDAP)
• Understanding of core security concerns within a typical application (password hashing, SSL/TLS, encryption at rest, XSS, XSRF)
• Experience building web, mobile, and IoT applications, incorporating both front and back end languages/frameworks
• Experience working with API architectures/technologies like REST and GraphQL. This includes the ability to use the dev tools in a browser to explain HTTP traffic and an HTTP client (like curl or Postman) to interact with an HTTP service
• Experience running code sprints or technology workshops
• Experience working with the startup and/or nonprofit sector(s)
• Experience working with SaaS developers

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

• U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: prohibited employment practices
• U.S. Department of Labor: Wage and Hour Division

The city

The job is in New York, NY. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How New York compares. Among the 120 largest places in New York, New York is #1 by population, #117 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #115 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #31 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Kings County, is #38 of 62 counties for average pay ($59,980).

The place in numbers

New York has 8,483,844 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 42.7% of the population of New York. It covers 300 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 28,236 people per square mile. The median age is 38.2, 4% younger than the state median (38.2 against 39.8).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,821 a month (rent plus utilities), 12% above the state median ($1,821 against $1,621). Over a year that is 27.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $777,600, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($80,483); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 32.8% of households own their home, 40% below the state average (32.8% against 54.4%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area has 9,492,000 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $61,430 a year, 20% above the national median ($61,430 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (1,109,360 jobs, median $55,080); healthcare support (843,730 jobs, median $40,100); sales and related (751,110 jobs, median $47,540). The area is most specialised in healthcare support (1.8 times) and legal (1.7 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($171,990) and legal ($150,990). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Kings County was 5.3%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Kings County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 21.6% drive alone, 44.0% use public transit, 9.2% walk, 16.9% work from home. 41.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 50% above the state average (41.2% against 27.4%).

People and education

41.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 4% above the state share (41.6% against 40.2%). 36.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 61% above the state share (36.6% against 22.8%). The poverty rate is 17.9%, 28% above the state rate (17.9% against 14.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 34°F (1.1°C). About 1,313 mm (52 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Feb the driest (95 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Hoboken (7 miles, rent 61% higher); Jersey City (7 miles, rent 10% higher); Union City (9 miles, rent 16% lower); Bayonne (9 miles, rent 8% lower). Rent differences are against New York; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
