With the recent 1-year anniversary of Okta and Auth0 coming together, it has been exciting to see us growing stronger as one company, united in our commitment to innovating for our customers around the world. We are accelerating our global development and continue to seek ways to get closer to our customers. Combined, we have 24 offices in 16 countries around the world, including our recently-announced international hub in Dublin.
In addition to Dublin, I am excited to reveal the opening of Okta's Barcelona office. The office serves as a location where teams can come together to collaborate and create. Auth0's remote-centric DNA, coupled with Okta's dynamic work framework for hybrid work, lay the foundation for building out worldwide spaces that foster innovation and culture.
Last year, I talked about Auth0's focus on recruitment in Spain. Since then, we have been working to build a world-class technical and product delivery team, drawing from the rich technical talent pool across Southern Europe.
In Spain, over the past year, more than 20 engineers have joined Auth0's established regional teams in data protection and security, product management, software, and data engineering, and platform operations. This highly skilled organization has an impressive list of successes, including the development of financial, data protection, security, and developer support services.
There are many new opportunities to join our technical teams based in Spain or elsewhere in the world and help engineer the future of identity. We intend to add a range of new positions across our technology and field organizations this year. Europe has always been a valued source of technical talent, building on Auth0's rich legacy of teamwork and collaboration across the region.
Ongoing investment in our technology teams enables us to continue doing what we do best: innovate for our developer community and customers around the globe by bringing best-in-class products to market. Moving forward, harnessing the best technical talent worldwide and developing our international operations remain top priorities for us.
