Job Description:

We are seeking an IAM Engineer with strong hands-on Auth0 experience to support a modern customer identity platform. This role will focus on integrating applications into Auth0, customizing authentication and security workflows, and supporting identity integrations across customer-facing systems.

This is not a traditional internal IAM administration role. The ideal candidate should be comfortable both configuring Auth0 and extending identity workflows with code, especially JavaScript and Node.js.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate new applications into Auth0, including customer portals, Salesforce, and other external-facing platforms.
• Configure and support SSO, SAML, OAuth/OIDC, MFA, login flows, and access controls.
• Customize authentication and security workflows using Auth0 Actions, Rules, and JavaScript.
• Build logic to support adaptive authentication scenarios, such as triggering MFA based on location, device, risk level, or user behavior.
• Support identity integrations across platforms such as Auth0, Salesforce, Genesys, and other business systems.
• Help ensure user identities, credentials, and access remain consistent across connected platforms.
• Assist with defining and enforcing security policies around MFA, passkeys, authentication methods, and access requirements.
• Balance security requirements with customer experience and business needs.
• Work with Auth0 logs and integrate identity logging into monitoring tools such as Microsoft Sentinel.
• Use APIs and automation to detect suspicious login activity, trigger alerts, and support identity-related workflows.

Required Skills and Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Auth0.
• Experience supporting customer identity and access management, also known as CIAM, or external-facing identity platforms.
• Ability to perform light development using JavaScript and/or Node.js.
• Experience with SSO, SAML, OAuth/OIDC, and MFA.
• Experience configuring and customizing identity workflows.
• Ability to integrate applications into an identity platform and troubleshoot authentication issues.
• Understanding of authentication flows, access controls, user lifecycle, and identity security best practices.
• Experience working with APIs, logs, monitoring, and automation.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with security, application, infrastructure, and business teams.

Preferred Experience

• Experience integrating Auth0 with Salesforce, Genesys, or similar enterprise platforms.
• Experience with Microsoft Sentinel or similar logging and monitoring tools.
• Experience with adaptive authentication, passkeys, risk-based authentication, or modern MFA strategies.
• Experience supporting large-scale customer-facing platforms.
• Understanding of user experience considerations in customer authentication flows.

Core Project Areas 1. Application Onboarding into Auth0

• Integrate new applications, including customer portals, Salesforce, and other platforms, into Auth0.
• Set up SSO, login flows, and access controls.

2. Customizing Login and Security Flows

• Build custom authentication logic using Auth0 Actions, Rules, and JavaScript.
• Trigger MFA based on user behavior such as location, device, risk, or other business rules.
• Modify authentication flows based on security and business requirements.

3. Identity Integrations Across Platforms

• Sync identities between systems such as Auth0, Salesforce, Genesys, and other enterprise platforms.
• Ensure users, credentials, and access stay consistent across platforms.

4. Security Policy Implementation

• Help define and enforce MFA strategies, including SMS versus stronger authentication methods.
• Support passkey adoption and help work through business resistance to modern authentication methods.
• Balance security requirements with the overall customer experience.

5. Logging, Monitoring, and Automation

• Work with Auth0 logs and integrate identity logging into tools such as Microsoft Sentinel.
• Build automations via APIs to detect suspicious logins and trigger alerts or actions.

What This Role Is Not

• Not primarily an Entra ID or Active Directory administration role.
• Not a purely point-and-click IAM configuration role.
• Not basic Okta administration or simple user provisioning.
• Not just a basic user provisioning position.

For qualified candidates:

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to work on a modern customer identity platform rather than internal IAM. The person in this role will have the ability to customize authentication flows with code, support real-world identity challenges, and work on projects involving adaptive authentication, platform integrations, MFA strategy, passkeys, logging, automation, and large-scale customer access.
