The Auth0 platform secures more than 100 million logins each day for customers all around the world - and we're growing fast! The Platform Runtime team enables Auth0 engineers to move faster by giving them the foundational infrastructure to deploy and manage their services on AWS and Azure. This is a role with a huge impact. You will get to work with engineers throughout the organization and what you build will be a foundational piece of the infrastructure that allows Auth0 to scale for years to come.

We are looking for a Senior Engineer who is passionate about distributed systems, availability, and delivering customer value. Because we build and support the overall Auth0 platform, the ideal candidate is someone who is passionate about low level infrastructure, operations, and not intimidated by cross-organization coordination and collaboration.

You will:

• Serve as the ultimate technical authority and final escalation point for advanced Kubernetes cluster troubleshooting, ensuring the continuous stability and resilience of our foundational infrastructure.
• Define and enforce organization-wide standards and architectural guidelines for Terraform. You will maintain core provider functionality and oversee critical security protocols, including automated credential rotation machinery.
• Develop and maintain application deployment standards, managing Kustomize and built-ins to standardize and streamline deployments across all product teams.
• Orchestrate complex GitOps workflows leveraging ArgoCD and Argo Workflows. You will take full ownership of Environment Lifecycle Management, handling everything from environment creation, synchronization, and user onboarding to failover procedures and safe deletion.
• Architect the Testing Automation Framework to support dynamic environment provisioning and destruction. This will enable advanced quality assurance practices, such as chaos testing, while empowering teams to manage their own test workflows.
• Oversee the Control Plane infrastructure, guaranteeing operational stability and managing essential platform services, including HashiCorp Vault and our fleet of self-hosted GitHub Action Runners.
• Lead the intra-space network architecture, driving the implementation, management, and scaling of our Service Mesh to ensure secure and efficient service-to-service communication.
• Participate in the team's on-call rotation.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have 5+ years of software development experience, specifically working with infrastructure or platform.
• Are proficient in Golang.
• Have a deep understanding of Kubernetes and containerization.
• Have DevOps experience using cloud-agnostic, cloud-native technologies.
• Demonstrable knowledge of TCP/IP and HTTP fundamentals.
• Have demonstrable expertise managing cloud resources (AWS/Azure) via code, specifically for automated provisioning.
• Have experience managing infrastructure with Terraform at scale.
• Bring a Tier-1 Service mindset: you write code that handles edge cases, network partitions, and partial failures gracefully.
• Tend to deliver work incrementally to get feedback and iterate over solutions.
• Have a passion for working on systems that are highly reliable, maintainable, scalable and secure.
• Bring the right attitude to the team: ownership, accountability, and attention to detail.
• Are comfortable working on a fully-distributed team.
• Have a relentless passion for ownership, accountability, and diving into complexity to deliver highly reliable and performant systems.

Extra Points:

• Significant experience with PostgreSQL for managing complex, relational entity state.
• Experience building custom Kubernetes controllers or extending Terraform providers.
• Familiarity with gRPC for high-performance internal service communication.
