Role
Who you are
- A proactive and systematic approach to problem-solving, with a high degree of ownership
- Proven experience in a production environment supporting large-scale, mission-critical applications with a high degree of autonomy
- Proficiency in at least one programming language, with a preference for Go. You should be comfortable writing custom applications, not just scripts
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and GitOps (ArgoCD)
- Demonstrable expertise in a major cloud provider (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- A strong grasp of microservices architecture, databases (SQL, NoSQL), and networking fundamentals, so you can understand how custom code can solve platform-level issues
- An understanding of core SRE principles, including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
- Experience in an on-call rotation for a 24/7 cloud-based environment
- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team, where tasks may be self-driven
What the job involves
- Auth0 provides an unparalleled authentication experience for hundreds of millions of users worldwide
- Our commitment to reliability is a key foundation of our product and our dedication to exceeding customer availability expectations is a core engineering focus
- As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll join our SRE team based in Europe to ensure our production systems are not only operational but also resilient, scalable, and ready for exponential growth
- This isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about directly contributing to the platform's core resiliency and robustness
- You'll be a hands-on builder, crafting solutions that make our system more reliable by design
- Design and build custom software in Go to enhance the platform's reliability, resiliency, and redundancy
- Partner with engineering teams to embed reliability principles, improving the availability, performance, and observability of our services
- Use your deep understanding of infrastructure and observability principles to identify opportunities for improvement within the product and implement solutions
- Contribute to our on-call rotation, providing rapid, effective response to critical incidents and using your expertise to troubleshoot, mitigate or accurately escalate production issues
- Develop and refine our SRE tooling and processes, focusing on automation and operational efficiency
- Define, document, and champion reliability best practices across the organisation
Our take
Okta started off as an identity company where organisations, large and small, could tap into the company to have a single sign-on interface to access all cloud applications now centralised. Okta has since expanded to provide identity management at the device as well as the server level.
The new approach towards network security is increasingly based on identification and authentication, and Okta is on track to become the go-to vendor in the space. It aims to do so by developing products that enable people to access applications and other tools more smoothly and securely than ever before.
Okta has taken strides towards expansion through significant employee growth and shuffling executive leadership. The company has also made lateral moves such as tackling governance concerns, opening up new paths for revenue.
