The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Set the technical direction for the Agent Access Policies framework, and make: the cross-cutting decisions that keep it coherent and easy to build on as it grows.
Design the distributed systems behind the platform for throughput,: reliability, and consistency, so the guarantees developers depend on hold up under real load.
Take the hardest, most vaguely specified platform problems and turn them into: clear, modular technical designs the team can execute against.
Shape the platform so it holds up whether a person or an agent is calling it,: and so both can build and automate their work against Okta for AI Agents.
Set the standard for how the team designs, builds, and operates the platform,: and lead deep, constructive reviews that grow the engineers around you.
Operate peer-to-peer with tech leads in adjacent teams to review major: architectural decisions and keep the wider platform aligned.
What they're looking for
- 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.
- Actively invest in the growth of peer engineers, taking responsibility for: raising the technical bar of the team as a whole.
