Full Job Posting

Company and team

Okta builds identity infrastructure intended to help organizations securely adopt AI.

The Okta Integration Network (OIN) lets customers discover, connect, and manage third-party applications and identity providers.

OIN spans integration data models, APIs, security, partner and customer tooling, provisioning primitives, and infrastructure for a large, long-lived platform.

The team is expanding integration patterns for AI agents and machine-to-machine access and reducing friction for partners bringing integrations to the network.

Role overview

Staff Software Engineer serving as a technical leader for a platform used by a large share of Okta customers.

Owns complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end, from technical scoping and design through delivery and production operation.

Partners with product, architecture, and design and raises the technical bar for other engineers.

What you'll do

  • Lead discovery and technical scoping and turn ambiguous requirements into architecture, phased plans, and estimates.
  • Design and evolve APIs, data models, and security posture for integrations, preserving backward compatibility and extensibility.
  • Drive technical decisions across multi-team dependencies and align stakeholders.
  • Modernize a large production system incrementally while protecting existing customers and integrations.
  • Maintain security, testing, and code-quality standards, remediate vulnerabilities, and apply threat-aware design.
  • Own production health through root-cause analysis, follow-through on fixes, and observability improvements.
  • Use AI coding assistants and AI-augmented workflows and help the team adopt them effectively.
  • Mentor engineers and represent the team's technical perspective in cross-functional forums.

What you'll bring

  • 8+ years of professional software development experience with technical leadership and mentorship.
  • Deep proficiency in Java or a comparable strongly typed backend language or framework.
  • Experience designing, building, and operating complex large-scale distributed systems in a cloud environment such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Experience with caching, asynchronous processing, and data migrations at scale.
  • Real depth in identity and access protocols.
