We’re looking for team players who can create impactful sales presentations, build compelling product demonstrations, and educate a wide audience on modern cloud security solutions.

If you have a strong background in technology, a mindset of continuous learning, and a passion for customer engagement, this role is for you.

What You’ll be doing:

• Support customers throughout the sales journey (discovery, validation, proposal, due diligence), demonstrating the value of Auth0 through live demos and presentations.
• Communicate directly with developers, product managers, and occasionally senior executives across various industries.
• Partner with the sales team as the go-to technical counterpart, enabling customers to validate the value and potential of the Auth0 platform.
• Focus on Customer Identity (CIAM) and showcase how Okta fits into a customer’s existing architectures and use cases.
• Design and execute well-defined, outcome-driven Proof of Concepts (POCs).
• Develop a growing understanding of the Okta product suite, technologies, and protocols.
• Stay curious, and continuously grow your knowledge in identity, security, and emerging technologies.
• Occasionally, participate in local and regional events, representing Okta as both a speaker and an attendee.

What we’re looking for:

• A passion for helping customers.
• Strong communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts and deliver compelling presentations to diverse audiences - even on the fly on a whiteboard.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, MIS, or a related field
• Interest in Identity and Access Management, cloud technologies, and security concepts.
• Some familiarity with modern development environments or programming concepts.
• A growth mindset and eagerness to learn technical topics on the job.
• Fluency in English.
• 3-4 days per week office presence.

• Experience working with customers in any capacity (sales, consulting, support, project management, university projects involving stakeholders).
• Presales experience — including internships or university programs.
• Understanding of identity protocols (e.g., SAML, OIDC, OAuth, FIDO, SCIM, LDAP).
• Understanding of identity-related cybersecurity topics (e.g., phishing, MFA bypass attacks, privilege escalation).
