Staff Product Designer, Auth0.

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human

Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

The Emerging Products Design Team

Emerging Products is an org pillar inside Auth0. We figure out what's next. You'll be designing systems that help developers secure AI agents, manage granular permissions, and build on identity primitives that don't fully exist yet.

Engineers, PMs, and Designers work on the same problems at the same time. There is no design-then-build sequence. There's just build.

What you’ll be doing

When everyone on the team can generate UI, the designer's role shifts. You become the person responsible for strong systems thinking, taste, quality, experience, and being the voice of the customer. You hold the quality bar when speed is pushing everything toward "fine."

• Prototype at volume: Use AI tools and code to explore dozens of directions fast, then narrow based on what works and what solves the actual problem.

• Design in the codebase: Work within our React and Next.js environment to refine components and interactions where users will actually experience them.

• Simplify complexity: Turn authorization models, SDK patterns, and security flows into interfaces that feel clear without losing precision.

• Raise the craft: Help the broader design org see what this way of working looks like in practice. We're all figuring this out together.

What you’ll bring to the role

• You have craft: This matters most. Considered typography, intentional spacing, polished micro-interactions, details that show someone genuinely cared. We're looking for someone with a refined sense of design taste/aesthetics and a deep appreciation for the details that create a polished user experience.

• You build: 6+ years of design experience, but somewhere along the way you started prototyping in the browser, shipping side projects, or writing production code because you wanted the interaction exactly right.

• You have a real AI practice: Not experimentation, but an actual workflow. You have opinions about where AI tools help and where they fall short.

• You design for developers: Tools, APIs, CLIs, SDKs, and admin dashboards. You know "simple" means something different for this audience.
