Careers at Okta

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 Okta Secures AI Team The Okta for AI Agents Team is building the future of digital identity management. The way companies are using agents and allowing them access is undergoing a fundamental shift, enabling teams to move fast while staying secure. Our North Star is clear: To get AI right, you have to get identity right. We are not just managing identities; we are building the industry's first Identity Security Fabric for the agentic era. As organizations rapidly deploy AI, these non-human entities are acting with access to critical tools, often bypassing traditional perimeters and creating a 'Shadow AI' crisis. Our mission is to move identity from a reactive gatekeeper to a unified control plane, transforming AI risk into business ROI. We are tackling this by implementing a comprehensive four-pillar maturity model: Discover, Onboard, Protect, and Govern. We are driving innovation by defining the standards for Agentic Identity—including pioneer work with securing AI Agents and support for protocols like MCP. You will be helping us build the infrastructure that allows enterprises to scale AI safely, ensuring every access decision—whether made by a human or an automated agent—is authenticated, authorized, and audited at scale. We are a diverse team of engineers, product managers, and designers who are bringing Okta’s expertise in identity to define the future of Agent Identity management, focusing on enablement while staying secure. About the role As a Staff Fullstack Engineer on the Okta Secures AI team, your mission is to build the industry's first Identity Security Fabric for the agentic era. You will be working on the designs and driving of our unified control plane features, ensuring that we operationalize our North Star: "To get AI right, you have to get identity right." As a true full-stack role, you will actively design, build, and maintain both robust backend services and intuitive frontend interfaces. This role requires deep expertise in distributed systems and a commitment to AI-native engineering as our standard. You will rethink backend design, validation, and delivery through AI-augmented workflows, ensuring our platform provides secure, interoperable, and scalable access—enforcing the principle of least privilege for every agent action. What you’ll be doing Proactively shape the technical strategy of the Identity Security Fabric, partnering with leadership to prioritize the work streams for securing AI Agents. Build the Runtime Policy Decision Point (PDP). Implement the request-time authorization engine at the Agent Gateway and at the agent to resource connection level to intercept and evaluate every agent request against per-agent, per-tool, and per-resource rules. Design and support authoring from a policy engine like Cedar, schema validation, and evaluation—connecting the admin console's no-code UI builder output with direct API-published policies. Develop the logic to validate which employees a delegated agent is permitted to represent and securely forward the acting user's identity to downstream resources. Develop Comprehensive Audit Logging. Build secure logging mechanisms to record the outcome of every request (allow or deny) along with the specific rule or reason behind the decision. Drive continual evolution in the adoption of AI-native development practices, helping the team rethink how we design, review, and ship software with AI as a core part of the workflow. Proactively identify and prioritize tech debt; drive improvements in areas beyond feature work - CI/CD, observability, documentation, reliability, and support processes. Partner with Product and Design to understand and own the desired customer outcome, not just the technical deliverable.

What You’ll Be Doing Design, build, and operate highly scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure powering our production systems across AWS and GCP. Lead major reliability and modernization initiatives, including container platform migrations (e.g., ECS to EKS/GKE) and microservice enablement across multi-cloud environments. Serve as a technical authority in Kubernetes (EKS and GKE), cloud infrastructure (AWS and GCP), and modern CI/CD practices (GitOps, automation pipelines). Partner with development teams to architect and enable microservice-based applications, ensuring production readiness, scalability, and observability. Implement and manage infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible) to automate provisioning, scaling, and configuration management across multiple cloud providers. Drive improvements in observability, performance, and cost efficiency through robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems that span AWS and GCP. Champion SRE best practices — defining SLOs/SLIs, conducting blameless postmortems, and continuously improving incident response. Lead complex technical projects from conception to completion, managing timelines, and technical dependencies across teams. Mentor engineers across teams, fostering a culture of reliability, automation, and continuous learning. Collaborate with security and compliance partners to ensure infrastructure adheres to best practices and standards (e.g., IAM Federation, Workload Identity). Participate in the on-call rotation, using incidents as learning opportunities to enhance systems and processes. What You’ll Bring to the Role: Strong hands-on experience architecting and operating cloud-native distributed systems (AWS and GCP). Deep expertise with Kubernetes (EKS and GKE) — design, provisioning, scaling, and advanced troubleshooting in production. Proven experience leading ECS to EKS/GKE migrations and driving microservice enablement initiatives at scale. Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform (multi-provider), Ansible, or CloudFormation. Solid coding and scripting ability in Python, Go, or Shell, with a focus on automation, tooling, and operational excellence. Advanced understanding of CI/CD pipelines (ArgoCD, GitLab CI, Spinnaker), Linux systems, and networking fundamentals (Direct Connect/Interconnect, DNS, routing, load balancing) and Redis (must have). Experience managing databases and caching systems (e.g., RDS/Cloud SQL, Redis/Memorystore, PostgreSQL, MySQL) in cloud environments. Hands-on experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Google Cloud Operations) for performance and reliability insights. Working knowledge of container security, secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Google Secret Manager), and compliance in production environments. Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated success leading cross-team projects and mentoring peers. Experience: 8+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering roles. 3–5 years of experience with Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) and related ecosystem tools (Helm, Karpenter, etc.) in production. 3–5 years of experience with AWS and GCP. 3–5 years using Terraform to manage multi-cloud infrastructure. 5+ years of coding experience in Python, Go, or similar languages. Proven track record leading high-impact projects, specifically migration projects (ECS → EKS/GKE) and enabling microservice architectures. Experience implementing SLOs/SLIs, performing root cause analyses, and improving operational resilience. Prior work in SaaS or high-scale, cloud-native environments is a strong plus. Strong Linux and security fundamentals. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience. #LI-Hybrid P17605_3418893 The Okta Experience Supporting Your Well-Being Driving Social Impact Developing Talent and Fostering Connection + Community We are intentional about connection.
