You will get to work with engineers throughout the organization and what you build will be a foundational piece of the infrastructure that allows Auth0 to scale for years to come.\nSoftware Engineer II, Platform Infrastructure - Control\nWe are looking for an Engineer who is passionate about building robust orchestration systems, idempotent APIs, and high-quality developer tooling. Because we build the \"brain\" of the platform - handling everything from environment provisioning to emergency rollbacks, the ideal candidate is someone who is obsessed with system state consistency and creating a seamless, self-service experience for other engineers.\nWhat you’ll be doing \nHelp build, maintain, and scale the Control Server, API, and CLI tools that manage the lifecycle of our environments, from provisioning to decommissioning.\nContribute to backend logic powering automated rollbacks, hotfixes, and release patching to keep deployments safe and predictable.\nEnhance automated provisioners that enable product teams to self-serve high-fidelity test environments without friction.\nImplement and maintain event publishing pipelines to broadcast environment state changes reliably across platform services.\nImprove the developer experience by contributing to well-documented, intuitive CLI and API interfaces with actionable error messaging.\nCollaborate with Product, Security, and Quality Engineering teams to execute complex lifecycle workflows while adhering to platform standards.\nParticipate in the team’s goalie rotation to support build and production operations when issues arise.\nWhat you’ll bring to the role\nHave 3+ years of software development experience, with a focus on building APIs, CLI tools, or backend services.\nHave a solid understanding of backend and distributed systems fundamentals (e.g., RESTful APIs, state management, basic idempotency, and asynchronous workflows).\nHave hands-on experience with Go (or Rust/C++/Java) and a pragmatic approach to using AI coding tools to explore new patterns, write clean code, and speed up day-to-day execution.\nHave practical experience provisioning or managing cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure) programmatically or via Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi).\nHave foundational knowledge of identity and access concepts (e.g., IAM, OAuth2, OIDC).\nCare deeply about developer experience, understand why clear CLI outputs, fast auth flows, and good documentation matter.\nWrite reliable, well-tested code that anticipates common failure modes, network timeouts, and edge cases.\nWork well incrementally, seeking feedback early and iterating on technical solutions with senior team members.\nAnd extra credit if you have experience in any of the following! \nWorking knowledge of PostgreSQL or other relational databases for managing application state.\nExposure to Kubernetes internals (custom controllers/operators) or Terraform provider development.\nFamiliarity with gRPC or Protocol Buffers for inter-service communication.\nP-2370_3602374\nBelow is the annual salary range for candidates located in Canada.
