This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. The Agent Gateway Team The Agent Gateway team owns the identity-aware infrastructure that connects enterprise AI agents to the tools, data, and services their organizations authorize. Every call from Claude, Agentforce,, Codex, and internal/homegrown agents to a resource flows through us. We enforce authorization, isolate credentials, mint the right token per target, and produce the audit trails that security teams rely on. We are early in a rapidly evolving space. The standards (MCP, XAA, ID JAG, DCR for agents,CIMD) are being built under our feet. Our roadmap includes hardening the data plane for on-premises customer deployments, extending policy semantics beyond tool-level allowlists, adding native support for Agent-to-Agent brokered delegation, XAA and scaling to tenants with thousands of virtual MCP servers. The Staff Software Engineer Opportunity Okta is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to serve as a technical anchor for the Agent Gateway team. You will own critical parts of the data and control planes and drive architectural design as the MCP and agent identity specs evolve. In this role, you will work close to the metal on request routing, token exchange, credential resolution, and policy evaluation. You will work equally close to the identity control plane on config bundles, tenant fanout, and operational rollouts. You are expected to make sharp technology choices, prototype with agentic tooling, and turn rough product ideas into production-ready systems. You will have the opportunity to build and scale services used by agentic traffic, ensuring workflows are reliable and performant at an unprecedented scale. This role sits at the critical intersection of product, security, and infrastructure. What You’ll Be Doing Architect and Lead: Own the end-to-end design and delivery of major gateway capabilities, from virtual MCP server aggregation to Agent-to-Agent brokered delegation, as well as on-premises deployment models. Design for Security and Runtime: Set the standard for how the gateway handles credentials, tokens, tenant isolation, and audit logging. Every decision carries direct customer trust and compliance weight. The Gateway team sits in the path of agent runtime traffic, which is in the critical path for customers. Move With the Protocols: Track and shape MCP, OAuth token exchange, and agent identity specifications. Feed lessons learned from production back into the specs and their reference implementations. Ship With Agentic Tooling: Treat Claude, Claude Code, and MCP-connected agents as first-class parts of your engineering workflow. Set the pattern for how the team uses these tools across design, code generation, code review, and operations—including custom skills, subagents, and MCP servers that accelerate the entire team. Raise the Bar: Drive code review, testing standards, incident retrospectives, and our design doc culture. Mentor engineers on the team and foster alignment across adjacent groups What You’ll Bring to the Role Experience: 7+ years building distributed, highly available production backend systems. Technical Depth: Hands-on experience shipping production services in Java and/or Go. Domain Expertise: Strong grounding in OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and RFC 8693 token exchange. You should be highly comfortable reading, interpreting, and implementing spec-driven code. Track Record: Proven success in shipping identity, authorization, or edge-of-network services at scale, including a deep understanding of the operational side (rollouts, feature flags, observability, incident response). Agentic Fluency: Working fluency with agentic development tools (e.g., Claude Code, MCP servers, AI-assisted code review). You have concrete opinions on where they accelerate workflows and where they fall short. Communication: A direct communication style, a talent for writing strong technical design docs, and the ability to operate seamlessly between a data plane service and a large identity control plane. Extra Credit Experience building or operating an MCP server, an agent framework, or an LLM-facing gateway in production. Prior work on multi-tenant SaaS platforms at Okta or an equivalent enterprise identity provider. Active contributions to standards work in the agent identity space (MCP, OAuth, GNAP, DCR).

The AI-Core Team The team is building a scalable Agentic AI platform for agents that run real engineering work, agents that write code, triage incidents, investigate alerts, remediate vulnerabilities, upgrade libraries, patch flaky tests, automate runbooks, and other workloads across Okta's infra. Owning this platform means owning the hard cross cutting problems: agent identity, delegated access, secure isolated execution, orchestration, and governance, at the scale and reliability bar that Infra demands. The work is novel and high ownership, and the candidate should be drawn to problems the industry hasn't solved yet. What You'll Work On Design and implement backend APIs and services that make up the agentic platform Build the agent identity and machine-to-machine authentication system, including credential management and delegated access flows Build the agent knowledge base and memory layer so agents retain context within and across sessions Build the observability layer for agents: tracing, cost tracking, audit logs, and dashboards that make agent behavior debuggable in production Build the governance and safety layer: policy enforcement on tool calls, content filtering, PII protection, and human-in-the-loop approval flows Build the orchestration layer that coordinates multi-step agent workflows with state persistence and error recovery Collaborate with Product, SRE, Security, Data Platform, Observability and other domain partners to shape what each layer looks like and how it integrates with the broader Okta platform You Might Be a Good Fit If You Have 5+ years of software engineering experience building production backend systems. 1+ years of exposure to AI/ML or agentic applications, whether through production work, side projects, or hands-on experimentation. Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages (Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, or similar) Hands-on experience designing and operating distributed systems: APIs, microservices, container orchestration, and serverless technologies A security-conscious mindset around credential handling, trust boundaries, and what can go wrong at integration points; familiarity with OAuth, OIDC, or other modern auth patterns. Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the problem definition evolves alongside the solution and the right abstractions are still being invented. Bonus: Exposure to LLM integration, RAG pipelines, MCP, or agent orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or the Claude/OpenAI SDKs. Bonus: Experience with policy-as-code authorization (Cedar, OPA), agent identity patterns, or building developer-facing APIs and SDKs. Why You'll Love It Here You'll learn fast. The problems this team works on, agentic systems, secure execution at scale, the platform layers that make agents reliable in production, are ones the industry is still figuring out, and you'll be in the room when those answers get written. You'll also have room to shape how you grow, whether that means going deeper on backend systems, leaning into AI/ML, or moving toward technical leadership over time. And you'll build things that actually get used. The platform you ship will be the foundation other teams build their agents on, and the work compounds quickly, what you ship this quarter shapes what's possible next quarter. Required: The employee must be either a U.S. citizen as defined in 42 U.S. Code § 9102; a natural person who is a lawful permanent resident as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20) or who is a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3); or a U.S. national (i.e. includes citizens and non-citizens born in outlying possessions such as American Samoa and Swains Island), green card holders, refugees, and asylees.
