Operating at the intersection of post-sales support, developer enablement, and product innovation, your core focus will include deploying modern front-end frameworks alongside validating New Product Introductions (NPIs). In doing so, you will act as the essential feedback bridge between G2K engineering teams and Auth0’s Product Management.

Develop high-impact Proof of Concepts (PoCs), early-adopter demonstrations, and technical enablement assets to help secure technical wins and drive initial pipeline for emerging Auth0 capabilities within G2K accounts. • Developer Enablement & Prototyping: Assist customer development teams by providing architectural guidance on custom Auth0 Actions, SDK implementation blueprints, and modern full-stack application patterns (Node.js, TypeScript, React, Mobile). • Product & NPI Feedback Loop: Act as a technical liaison between G2K Enterprise Customers and Auth0 Product Management to identify feature gaps, test early-stage NPIs, and drive product roadmap enhancements based on real-world enterprise needs. • Field & Customer Mentorship: Create reusable code samples, technical documentation, and enablement guides to train G2K teams (Professional Services, Customer Success, Pre-Sales, Partners) and customer developers on advanced Auth0 capabilities. • AI Tooling & Automation: Leverage AI tools and LLM workflows to accelerate code generation, SDK debugging, technical documentation, and complex implementation analysis. • Multi-Project Execution: Manage multiple concurrent technical engagements effectively while prioritizing tasks to ensure high customer satisfaction, which includes providing a rapid, hands-on response to high-priority customer escalations and fast-moving GTM activities. Qualifications & Technical Requirements • Experience: 6+ years in a customer-facing technical field role within a Go-To-Market (GTM) organization (e.g., Pre-Sales/Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Solutions Architecture, Technical Account Management, Customer Success, or Senior Support) delivering identity or SaaS solutions to enterprise accounts. • Auth0 & CIAM Depth: Expert-level understanding of the Auth0 platform and modern Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) patterns, including low-friction authentication, high-volume user management, and extensibility via custom Auth0 Actions. • Full-Stack Development Skills: Proven experience reading, writing, and debugging full-stack application code using JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, and modern Mobile SDKs. • Identity Protocols & Security: Deep understanding of identity federation, access control frameworks, and core protocols including SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and SCIM. • Identity Security & Threat Defense: In-depth knowledge of the CIAM threat landscape, with a proven ability to design and scale resilient authentication flows that mitigate both traditional identity attacks (credential stuffing, account takeover, automated bot attacks, etc.) and emerging next-generation threats (AI-driven social engineering, LLM-based phishing, and automated fraud attacks, etc.) • G2K Enterprise Experience: Demonstrated history of navigating complex, large-scale IT landscapes, web technologies, and cloud architectures for G2K customers. • Communication & Advisory: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical/developer concepts to non-technical stakeholders and strategically guide senior engineering leaders. • Education: A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline is required.   P25702_3551023 Below is the annual base salary range for candidates located in California (excluding San Francisco Bay Area), Colorado, Illinois, New York and Washington.
