The role
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.
The Okta on Okta Identity Architect Opportunity
This is not a traditional architect role. At Okta, an Okta on Okta Identity Architect is the premier technical execution tier above Principal Engineer—acting as the ultimate hands-on practitioner of our own cloud platform. While you won't be writing application code, you will get your hands dirty configuring, extending, and testing the boundaries of the platform. You are the builder who proves our platform works in the real world.
As organizations successfully adopt phishing-resistant MFA, attackers have shifted their tactics—increasingly deploying Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing kits and info-stealer malware to execute session hijacking via cookie theft. Furthermore, with the explosive rise of autonomous AI workloads, securing human identity is no longer enough; we must now protect and govern a fast-growing sprawl of non-human, agentic workflows.
Are you an elite engineer running Okta at a customer organization today? Have you ever configured our platform, pushed Okta Platform Services to their limits, and thought: "If I worked at Okta, I know exactly how we could make this platform better" ?
We are looking for a highly mature, technical leader who is already a deeply experienced, hands-on Okta customer practitioner to drive the technical execution of our Ident
