About this role
Auth0 handles more than 100 million daily logins, and this team owns two of its most visible surfaces. The Manage Dashboard is where developers and enterprise administrators configure identity policy, manage organisations and watch threat intelligence. The Marketplace is the extensibility ecosystem where customers install third party integrations such as security monitoring, consent management and database connectors. As a Staff engineer you own technical strategy across the whole stack: React on the frontend, Node.js and Go services behind it, operational pipelines and PostgreSQL underneath. The posting asks for 8 to 12 years hands on in JavaScript, Node.js, Go, React and Next.js, and it names Node.js as mandatory on the backend. Apply if you are a genuine full stack engineer at senior scale, not a frontend engineer who occasionally touches an API.
Who this is for
Requirements as published:
- 8 to 12 years of hands on experience in JavaScript, Node.js, Go and React or Next.js.
- Experience designing, building and operating distributed systems in a cloud environment such as AWS or Azure.
- Backend: strong service design in Node.js (stated as mandatory) or Go. Deep hands on experience deploying, scaling and operating backend services on AWS, with strong Kubernetes proficiency.
- Data and caching: strong experience with PostgreSQL, distributed caching with Redis, and data and deployment pipelines.
- Performance and scale: using quantitative analysis of latency and traffic volume to justify design and technology choices.
- Strong production experience covering monitoring, debugging and incident response.
- Frontend: hands on with modern React and MobX or Redux, plus frontend build tools, module bundlers and package managers.
The actual day to day:
- Owning technical strategy and architecture for the Auth0 Manage Dashboard and the Auth0 Marketplace.
- Designing developer friendly APIs and resilient frameworks across the stack.
- Mentoring a team of engineers, framed in the posting as technical mentorship rather than people management.
- Leading the technical lifecycle of product areas end to end.
Location and office reality:
- Bengaluru. Office days are not stated in the posting.
Honest fit guidance:
- Node.js is called mandatory. If your backend is Java or Python only, this is a real gap rather than a nice to have.
- The role is genuinely full stack. Both halves are examined, so a strong frontend with a thin backend will not clear the bar, or the reverse.
- Marketplace work means designing for third party developers, which is a different discipline from internal APIs. Bring examples if you have them.
