Create compelling technical content, such as tutorials, sample code, and best practices guides, to help developers integrate and utilize Okta / Auth0's CIAM solutions.

Deliver technical presentations and demonstrations at conferences, webinars, and customer meetings.

Work closely with product management and engineering to translate technical product information into clear and concise marketing materials.

Provide technical enablement and training to sales teams and partners.

Gather and analyze feedback from developers and customers to improve product messaging and marketing strategies.

Stay up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies in CIAM and the broader identity management space.

Minimum Knowledge / Skills / Abilities :

1-3 years of experience in product marketing, developer relations, or technical writing - or equivalent hands-on experience building and explaining apps.

Some experience or interest in mobile app development (e.g., React Native or native iOS / Android).

Ability to explain complex topics simply through writing, video, or demos.

Familiar with design or editing tools like Figma, Adobe Premiere, or Camtasia.

Strong understanding of web development concepts, APIs, and SDKs.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
