The Auth0 Team:

As a Senior Developer Advocate, you will be an influencer in empowering developers by shaping and delivering compelling, deeply technical content across various in person and digital channels. You will not only inspire in public speaking settings but also help identify emerging trends, and influence the overall developer experience. You are a great match if you can demonstrate a strong ability to craft engaging developer-oriented content, especially about AI, coupled with technical proficiency, exceptional communication, and a proven passion for anticipating and addressing complex developer needs and trends.

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, the Developer-Led Growth team engages with developer communities to help them adopt Auth0 and advocate on their behalf across Okta.

What you'll be doing:

As a Senior Developer Advocate, you will help execute a developer advocacy strategy, help identify key channels, events, and partners  to maximize developer engagement and adoption. You will actively champion best practices by engaging with technical communities and collaborate closely across Product, Engineering, Developer Content, and Developer Marketing to advocate for developer needs. Additionally, you will proactively identify and solve complex technical challenges to deliver innovative solutions and digital content.

Your responsibilities will include:

1. Community Engagement:
1. Cultivate and grow relationships with developers and technical leaders through online platforms, championing their needs and driving awareness of our platform/technology.
2. Inspire developers at in person or remote events, including big industry conferences, panels, meetups, etc.
2. Developer Advocacy:
1. Advocate for developers' needs and pain points within the Auth0 product unit, actively improving the developer experience.
2. Proactively collaborate with counterparts in Product and Engineering/Technical teams as a representative of the Developer-Led Growth team.
3. Collaborate on the development and launch of capabilities - reviewing early documentation, SDKs, and product capabilities from a content perspective.
4. Bring insights and developer feedback back into the company to inform and shape product development and improvements, with an emphasis on how content can address these.
3. Content Strategy & Creation:
1. Collaborate on the development and execution of content strategies to effectively reach and engage developers.
2. Develop and share high-quality technical content such as blog posts, tutorials, documentation, videos, and code samples.
3. Translate complex technical concepts into clear, concise, and engaging content that is easily understood by developers.

We would love to hear from you if you have:

• Technical background and hands-on experience. Familiarity with identity standards and best practices is a plus.
• AI tooling and vibe coding experience
• A demonstrated passion for inspiring developer audiences or creating content that serves the developer community and helps fellow developers get better at their jobs, with the ability to explain and translate technology concepts into simple and intuitive communications.
• Demonstrated ability to help drive cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders across engineering, product, and marketing to improve the developer experience and align content strategies with business goals.

We'd be incredibly excited if you have:

• Experience in a developer advocacy, senior technical content, or technical customer success role.
• 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.

Job Description

Okta is looking for a Senior Developer Advocate to become the voice of Auth0 in the developer community, primarily on X (Twitter), but extending across every platform where developers talk, argue, ship, and share. We don't need someone who can "do social media." We need someone who already lives in it: someone whose timeline is full of framework debates, shipping threads, and hot takes on the latest security disclosure, and who wakes up knowing what developers are talking about before the rest of the company does.

In this role, you will own Auth0's presence in the public developer conversation. You'll engage authentically with developers, amplify what we're building, surface what the community actually cares about, and help us move at the speed of the discourse. You'll turn real-time community signals into action, whether that's a timely thread, a piece of rapid-response content, feedback routed to the product team, or a connection with an influential voice in the ecosystem.

If you've built a following by being genuinely useful and opinionated in developer circles, and you want to do that full-time for one of the most widely-used identity platforms in the world, this is the role.

Core Responsibilities

• Community Listening & Trend Response: Dedicate time to actively monitoring developer conversations on platforms like Twitter/X, Reddit, and Hacker News. You will identify emerging trends in identity/security and mentions of Auth0, converting these insights into immediate opportunities. This could range from drafting a thoughtful reply or a "hot-take" blog post to commissioning a video explainer or routing critical feedback to the Product/Marketing teams.
• Own Auth0's Developer Presence on X and Beyond: Be the primary voice representing Auth0 in real-time developer conversations on X, as well as Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, and other platforms where developers gather. Post regularly, engage authentically, and build a consistent presence that developers actually want to follow.
• Turn Social Into a Feedback Channel: Systematically capture developer pain points, feature requests, praise, and criticism from public conversations and route them to Product, Engineering, and Marketing with context. You are the bridge between what developers say in public and what the company does next.
• Create Fast-Cycle, High-Signal Content: Write threads, short posts, quick takes, and lightweight explainers that ride the moment. When a topic is trending, you should be able to ship something valuable within hours, not weeks. Longer-form content (blog posts, video scripts) is secondary but expected when the moment calls for it.
• Collaborate With Internal Teams: Work closely with Product, Engineering, Developer Relations, and Marketing to ensure that what you're seeing externally informs what we build and how we talk about it. Help shape launch strategies, messaging, and positioning based on real community signal.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience: 4+ years in developer advocacy, developer relations, or a community-facing technical role, with clear evidence of sustained public engagement with developer audiences.
• Established Social Presence: You have an active, authentic presence on X (and ideally other developer platforms). You don't need to be famous, but you should have a track record of engaging meaningfully in technical conversations and a following that reflects that. Share your profile, we will look.
• Technical Credibility: You can hold your own in a conversation about JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks, authentication flows, API design, or web architecture. You don't need to be a senior engineer, but developers should never feel like they're talking to a marketer.
• Speed and Editorial Judgment: You can assess whether something is worth responding to, draft something sharp, and ship it; all within a short window. You understand the difference between being fast and being reckless.
• Communication: Exceptional written English with a voice that feels natural on social platforms, clear, opinionated when appropriate, technically honest, and never corporate.

Preferred Qualifications 

• • Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with Identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) and web security best practices.
  • Content Versatility: Experience producing short-form video (screen recordings, explainer clips, Loom-style walkthroughs) for social distribution.
  • Network in the Ecosystem: Existing relationships or mutual recognition with developers, advocates, or creators in the JavaScript, full-stack, or security communities.

Our Philosophy on AI

We believe AI is a powerful tool to accelerate research and structure ideas, but it is not a replacement for human expertise. We value AI-resilient content, unique, experience-based insights and verified code that generic models cannot replicate. We look for educators who use AI to work smarter, not to do the work for them.
