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
Solve core authorization challenges: Define how companies authorize agent actions and enforce least privilege for what an agent can do on a user's behalf.
Design secure access: Build phishing-resistant authentication and authorization for both people and the agents acting for them.
Shape the product: Bring a product mindset to dig into what customers need, define the desired outcomes, and build toward them rather than just executing solutions.
Own the quality bar: Act as the voice for product and quality judgment in the room, taking ownership of the outcome, not just the code.
Drive technical architecture: Make and defend architectural decisions on distributed systems and complex API integrations that will scale as the work grows.
Modernize development: Advance how we use AI across our development lifecycle—how we design, review, and ship—and bring the rest of the team along with you.
What they're looking for
- Coach and multiply: Raise the technical bar of the entire team, building judgment in others rather than trying to solve everything yourself.
- Improve engineering excellence: Spot and prioritize tech debt, driving improvements beyond feature work (CI/CD, observability, documentation, reliability, and support).
- Stay customer-aware: Build with a clear, direct line to the customer problem and the outcome you're solving for, even if you aren't in every customer conversation.
- A self-starter mentality: The ability to spot what matters, drive work autonomously, and thrive in ambiguity while helping to form a new charter.
