The Solutions Engineering Team

At Okta, the Solutions Engineering (SE) team operates at the intersection of hands-on software development and strategic customer engagement. Our team advises developers, software architects, and technology leaders on how to build modern, secure, and friction-free login and identity experiences using the Auth0 platform.

We believe great Solutions Engineers combine technical problem-solving with genuine empathy for developers and end-users. We don't just talk about product features—we dive into code, explore application architectures, configure integrations, and show development teams how Auth0 accelerates time-to-market while hardening their security posture.

About the Role

We are seeking an energetic, technically curious Associate Solutions Engineer (P2) to join our team supporting Commercial accounts . In this role, you will partner with Commercial Account Executives and experienced Solutions Engineers to guide fast-growing mid-market and commercial customers through the technical evaluation of the Auth0 platform.

Covering Commercial accounts means working in a dynamic, high-velocity environment alongside innovative engineering teams, tech leads, and product owners across diverse industries. This is an ideal role for an early-career technologist with a solid foundation in software development or web architecture who loves customer engagement, problem-solving, and bringing code to life through live demos and technical proof-of-concepts.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Commercial Sales Cycle Engagement: Partner with Commercial Account Executives to drive technical discovery, qualify technical fit, and deliver compelling, developer-centric demonstrations of the Auth0 platform across a high-volume pipeline.

• Hands-on POCs & Prototyping: Build sample applications, configure authentication flows, and develop custom prototypes (using SDKs, APIs, and Auth0 Actions) to validate specific customer use cases and architectures.

• Technical Inquiries & Questionnaires: Lead and assist in authoring technical responses to security questionnaires, RFIs, and architectural inquiries with speed and precision.

• Developer & Architect Engagement: Walk software engineers, engineering managers, and product leads through API documentation, SDK implementations, token handling, and best practices for modern web and mobile applications.

• Agile Deal Velocity: Navigate fast-paced commercial sales cycles by rapidly diagnosing technical objections, addressing architectural edge cases, and demonstrating time-to-value.

• Continuous Learning & Collaboration: Stay current with identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, JWT) and modern cloud application security trends, while collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Developer Relations, and Customer Success.

What You’ll Bring to the Role

• Experience: 1–2 years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (e.g., Solutions Engineering, Technical Support, Professional Services, or Technical Consulting) or equivalent experience in software engineering with a strong desire to transition into commercial presales.

• Coding Foundation: Hands-on programming experience in one or more modern languages (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, C#, or similar).

• Web & API Literacy: Solid understanding of modern web and mobile application architectures, RESTful APIs, methods, JSON, and testing tools like Postman or cURL.

• Core Identity Awareness: Foundational knowledge of authentication and authorization concepts, including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), Single Sign-On (SSO), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

• Communication & Agility: Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate technical concepts clearly to both technical builders and commercial business stakeholders.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.

Extra Credit (Preferred Qualifications)

• Direct experience integrating or configuring the Auth0 platform, developer SDKs, or similar identity libraries.

• Exposure to front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Next.js) or mobile development (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter).

• Basic familiarity with cloud infrastructure platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and serverless environments.

• Experience in high-velocity sales environments or working with commercial/mid-market technology companies.

• Active contributions to hackathons, developer meetups, open-source projects, or technical blogs.
