Job Description
Get to know Okta
Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core of business security and growth.
At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.
Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
The design team
We’re a distributed team of designers who share work early, give each other honest feedback, and keep things collaborative. We care about the details, but we also care about making progress and learning along the way.
Designers here have real ownership. We influence product direction alongside engineering and product management, and we shape experiences that reach millions of people worldwide.
Some days we’re refining a tricky flow, other days we’re sketching ideas for what’s next in identity and developer tools. We use async tools like Loom and Figma comments to stay connected across time zones, and we make space to experiment and grow. At the Staff level, you’ll also help mentor other designers and set patterns that raise the bar for the whole team.
The opportunity
You’ll join our Emerging Products team, the group at Auth0 focused on building and scaling the next wave of identity and security capabilities. We take new ideas in areas like AI, fine-grained authorization, and developer experience, and turn them into real, customer-ready products.
We’re working on:
AI + Identity: securing AI assistants and agents with identity-aware authorization.
Cross-App Access: seamless, policy-driven flows between apps and accounts.
Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA): real-time, user-specific access control down to the document level.
Token Vault: simplifying secure storage and refresh of OAuth tokens from providers like Google, Salesforce, and AWS.
AI Integrations: SDKs, frameworks, and integrations that help developers adopt emerging features with minimal friction.
In short: Emerging Products is where Auth0 builds and delivers the future of identity.
What you’ll do
Partner with Product and Engineering to define roadmaps and bring clarity to ambiguous, frontier problems.
Design experiences across SDKs, CLIs, APIs, and web interfaces that developers rely on.
Simplify complex identity and authorization workflows into usable, scalable patterns.
Contribute to and evolve our design system while experimenting with new patterns for emerging use cases.
Collaborate with Research to run usability testing and translate insights into design improvements.
Use both qualitative and quantitative data to validate design decisions and measure impact.
Share your work early and often, participating in critiques and collaborating across teams.
Contribute to design culture at Okta, helping raise the bar for craft, collaboration, and systems thinking.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of experience in product design, ideally with developer platforms, B2B SaaS, or technical tools.
Strong UI/UX/visual design craft, with a portfolio that demonstrates systems thinking and end-to-end ownership.
Experience designing for technical audiences (SDKs, APIs, developer tooling, or security products).
Ability to translate highly technical or abstract problems into usable, elegant solutions.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and thriving in fast-moving, experimental environments.
Strong communication skills; you can tell the story of your design decisions and align diverse stakeholders.
Bonus points if you have
Familiarity with front-end development (React, NextJS, HTML/CSS/JS).
Familiarity with emerging AI technologies (e.g., v0, prompting LLMs, Figma Make) and how they can be applied to user experience design.
Experience leveraging AI tools in your design process, with awareness of ethical and privacy considerations when designing with AI.
*** This person must attend in person onboarding at the office the first week of employment.
