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. This is a hybrid role. It requires going to the local office 3 times a week. The Auth0Lab Team We are a small team of engineers exploring new Auth0 products and features ideas. We take things from 0 to 1 and we look to shape the future of identity. Our team has had a big role shaping the identity industry: we were all early at Auth0, which shaped how devs do authentication as part of Auth0Lab we incubated Auth0 FGA which redefined how authorization is done across the industry and we also incubated Auth0 for AI agents which defined auth for AI agents We are currently focused on enabling builders and companies of any size to ship production grade AI agents, by helping them with identity and security. We believe data, and developing our own models will play a huge role in this. The role We are looking for a Principal Applied AI Scientist to take product ideas from 0 to 1 and define how we do new AI product innovation. You'll have a lot of independence: you set the technical direction for AI, and experiment fast with minimal process. With that comes real ownership: you'll be the first AI/ML person in the team, so you'll often be figuring it out without a research org behind you. This is a hands-on role. Publishing papers and open sourcing results might happen as it helps us and the industry, but is not our main goal. We have a lot to teach you about security, auth, developer products and many other things. And we also want to learn from you. Join us to ha
