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.
Auth0 provides an unparalleled authentication experience for hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Our commitment to reliability is a key foundation of our product and our dedication to exceeding customer availability expectations is a core engineering focus. As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll join our SRE team based in Europe to ensure our production systems are not only operational but also resilient, scalable, and ready for exponential growth. This isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about directly contributing to the platform's core resiliency and robustness. You'll be a hands-on builder, crafting solutions that make our system more reliable by design.
What you'll do:
- Design and build custom software in Go to enhance the platform's reliability, resiliency, and redundancy.
- Partner with engineering teams to embed reliability principles, improving the availability, performance, and observability of our services.
- Use your deep understanding of infrastructure and observability principles to identify opportunities for improvement within the product and implement solutions.
- Contribute to our follow-the-sun on-call rotation, providing rapid, effective response to critical incidents and using your expertise to troubleshoot, mitigate or accurately escalate production issues. Because our team is globally distributed, your on-call shifts will only occur during your standard local working hours.
- Develop and refine our SRE tooling and processes, focusing on automation and operational efficiency.
- Define, document, and champion reliability best practices across the organisation.
What you'll need to be successful:
This role requires a unique blend of a software engineer's mindset and operational expertise. You'll thrive in this role if you have:
- A proactive and systematic approach to problem-solving, with a high degree of ownership.
- Proven experience in a production environment supporting large-scale, mission-critical applications with a high degree of autonomy.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, with a preference for Go. You should be comfortable writing custom applications, not just scripts.
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and GitOps (ArgoCD).
- Demonstrable expertise in a major cloud provider (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
- A strong grasp of microservices architecture, databases (SQL, NoSQL), and networking fundamentals, so you can understand how custom code can solve platform-level issues.
- An understanding of core SRE principles, including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
- Experience in an on-call rotation for a 24/7 cloud-based environment.
- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team, where tasks may be self-driven.
We're looking for someone who is not just looking for a job, but a career-defining opportunity to tackle complex challenges at a massive scale. If you're a curious and motivated engineer who's passionate about building reliability directly into the platform, we'd love to hear from you.
