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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Okta is looking for a Senior Developer Advocate to become the voice of Auth0 in the developer community, primarily on X (Twitter), but extending across every platform where developers talk, argue, ship, and share. We don't need someone who can "do social media." We need someone who already lives in it: someone whose timeline is full of framework debates, shipping threads, and hot takes on the latest security disclosure, and who wakes up knowing what developers are talking about before the rest of the company does. In this role, you will own Auth0's presence in the public developer conversation. You'll engage authentically with developers, amplify what we're building, surface what the community actually cares about, and help us move at the speed of the discourse. You'll turn real-time community signals into action, whether that's a timely thread, a piece of rapid-response content, feedback routed to the product team, or a connection with an influential voice in the ecosystem. If you've built a following by being genuinely useful and opinionated in developer circles, and you want to do that full-time for one of the most widely-used identity platforms in the world, this is the role.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
- Community Listening & Trend Response: Dedicate time to actively monitoring developer conversations on platforms like Twitter/X, Reddit, and Hacker News. You will identify emerging trends in identity/security and mentions of Auth0, converting these insights into immediate opportunities. This could range from drafting a thoughtful reply or a "hot-take" blog post to commissioning a video explainer or routing critical feedback to the Product/Marketing teams.
- Own Auth0's Developer Presence on X and Beyond: Be the primary voice representing Auth0 in real-time developer conversations on X, as well as Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, and other platforms where developers gather. Post regularly, engage authentically, and build a consistent presence that developers actually want to follow.
- Turn Social Into a Feedback Channel: Systematically capture developer pain points, feature requests, praise, and criticism from public conversations and route them to Product, Engineering, and Marketing with context. You are the bridge between what developers say in public and what the company does next.
- Create Fast-Cycle, High-Signal Content: Write threads, short posts, quick takes, and lightweight explainers that ride the moment. When a topic is trending, you should be able to ship something valuable within hours, not weeks. Longer-form content (blog posts, video scripts) is secondary but expected when the moment calls for it.
- Collaborate With Internal Teams: Work closely with Product, Engineering, Developer Relations, and Marketing to ensure that what you're seeing externally informs what we build and how we talk about it. Help shape launch strategies, messaging, and positioning based on real community signal.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience: 4+ years in developer advocacy, developer relations, or a community-facing technical role, with clear evidence of sustained public engagement with developer audiences.
- Established Social Presence: You have an active, authentic presence on X (and ideally other developer platforms). You don't need to be famous, but you should have a track record of engaging meaningfully in technical conversations and a following that reflects that. Share your profile, we will look.
- Technical Credibility: You can hold your own in a conversation about JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks, authentication flows, API design, or web architecture. You don't need to be a senior engineer, but developers should never feel like they're talking to a marketer.
- Speed and Editorial Judgment: You can assess whether something is worth responding to, draft something sharp, and ship it; all within a short window. You understand the difference between being fast and being reckless.
- Communication: Exceptional written English with a voice that feels natural on social platforms, clear, opinionated when appropriate, technically honest, and never corporate.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with Identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) and web security best practices.
- Content Versatility: Experience producing short-form video (screen recordings, explainer clips, Loom-style walkthroughs) for social distribution.
- Network in the Ecosystem: Existing relationships or mutual recognition with developers, advocates, or creators in the JavaScript, full-stack, or security communities.
COMPENSATION

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Mobile Developer
Align your portfolio to U.S. standards
Host employers evaluate mobile developers on published apps, GitHub repositories, and platform-specific certifications for iOS or Android. Document measurable outcomes in each project before applying, since vague portfolios stall J-1 training plan approvals.
Confirm your program category before applying
If you're currently enrolled in a degree program, you qualify under the Intern category. If you graduated within the past year and have relevant work experience, the Trainee category applies. Applying under the wrong category forces a restart with a different designated sponsor.
Search for J-1-compatible roles on Migrate Mate
Filter by Senior Mobile Developer positions on Migrate Mate to surface host employers already familiar with exchange visitor requirements. Targeting companies with J-1 hosting history shortens negotiation time and reduces the risk of a host withdrawing after the DS-2019 process begins.
Get your training plan approved before accepting offers
Designated sponsors like CIEE or Cultural Vistas require a completed Training or Internship Placement Plan before issuing your DS-2019. Confirm your prospective host employer will complete this document, since many tech companies are unfamiliar with the obligation and delay the process.
Check whether the 2-year home residency requirement applies
If your training is funded by your home government or you're a national of a country the U.S. Department of State has designated as having a critical skills shortage, you may face a two-year home residency requirement before changing to certain other visa categories.
Verify your host employer's legal work authorization setup
Host employers must complete Form I-9 for J-1 exchange visitors and may be enrolled in E-Verify. Ask your prospective host whether their HR team has processed J-1 hires before, since first-time hosts often underestimate I-9 documentation requirements for exchange visitor status.

Find Senior Mobile Developer JobsSenior Mobile Developer J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Senior Mobile Developer role?
Most Senior Mobile Developer candidates qualify under the Trainee category, which is designed for professionals who have a degree and at least one year of relevant work experience, or five years of experience without a degree. Current students or recent graduates within 12 months of completing a degree may qualify under the Intern category instead. The designated sponsor determines which category applies based on your specific background.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for a mobile developer position?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as CIEE, Cultural Vistas, or IIE, not your host employer. That designated sponsor issues your DS-2019 form, monitors your training plan compliance, and serves as the official sponsor of record. Your host employer provides the technical role and work environment but does not hold sponsor status under the J-1 program.
How do I find host employers open to J-1 mobile developers?
Use Migrate Mate to search for Senior Mobile Developer roles at companies already familiar with J-1 exchange visitor requirements. Targeting employers with prior J-1 hosting experience is practical because they understand the Training or Internship Placement Plan paperwork and the designated sponsor's monitoring obligations, which significantly reduces delays between offer acceptance and DS-2019 issuance.
What documents do I need before a host employer can file the J-1 training plan?
You'll need a detailed description of your mobile development background, including platform specializations such as Swift, Kotlin, or React Native, degree certificates or transcripts, and a letter from your home institution or employer if applicable. The host employer completes the Training or Internship Placement Plan alongside the designated sponsor, so having your credentials organized in English accelerates that process considerably.
Does the 2-year home residency requirement affect Senior Mobile Developers?
It can, depending on your nationality and funding source. If your home country's government funded your training, or if your country appears on the State Department's Exchange Visitor Skills List, you may be required to return home for two years before you're eligible for certain other U.S. visa categories, including H-1B or a green card. Confirm your country's status with your designated sponsor before accepting a training position.
