Authorization decides what they can do, and doing that well at scale is hard. Role-based access breaks down as applications grow, and AI agents are changing who, and what, asks for access. Auth0 FGA solves this with fine-grained authorization. Its engine is OpenFGA, a CNCF incubating open source project that Okta maintains with contributors from other companies, and Auth0 FGA runs that same engine as a managed service. FGA DevEx owns how developers experience both: our SDKs, CLI, IDE plugins, Helm charts and docs, all developed in the open. The FGA group owns its product end to end, from infrastructure to docs, so we move quickly and see our work reach developers. Our guiding principle: one developer experience, many deployment models. About the role We're hiring a Staff Engineer to set the technical direction for everything the team owns, and to mentor the senior engineers who build it, starting with our SDKs in Go, JavaScript, .NET, Python, Java and more.

You'll partner with the Core team on API design, so every new capability feels natural in each language. This is an individual contributor role. You'll work closely with the engineering manager, who owns people and delivery Responsibilities Set the direction: Define and drive the technical direction for FGA DevEx
