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
Secure AI Implementations: Design and deploy enterprise AI guardrails, gateways, and other controls to protect our agentic workflows from emerging threats
Agent Hardening & Sandboxing: Establish security architectures for local and hosted agents to mitigate tool-calling, prompt injection, goal misalignment, and data exfiltration risks.
Define Paved Roads & Security Standards: Develop secure design patterns and developer tools that allow engineering teams to build and deploy AI features safely and quickly.
Threat Modeling for AI Workflows: Lead threat modeling and security reviews for agentic AI systems, enterprise deployments, and agent ecosystems.
AI Discovery & Visibility: Build systems to discover, inventory, and assess AI usage and data flows across the enterprise.
Agentic Platform Infrastructure: Design and operate internal AI security platforms and develop integrated AI capabilities that automate complex security operations.
What they're looking for
- Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Drive technical alignment across product, security, and infrastructure teams. Mentor engineers and security practitioners across domains
- AI Security Expertise: Deep knowledge of the AI threat landscape, including OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF with practical experience prompt injection, excessive agency, and other AI-related threats.
- Software Engineering: 8+ years of experience in security engineering or backend software development, with strong coding proficiency in Python or Go and hands-on cloud experience.
- Agentic Framework Knowledge: Experience securing or auditing agentic frameworks (such as LangChain, Strands, Claude Agent SDK, or custom tool-calling agents) operating within sandboxed environments.
