Job description
from Okta careersSecure 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.
Join Okta’s Defensive Cyber Engineering team as a Staff Engineer responsible for safeguarding Okta’s environments. You’ll work closely with the Security, Business Technology Engineering and Product teams to implement and manage security solutions and ensure that core infrastructure applications are protecting our workforce, endpoints, and corporate data.
A strong desire to make tools and people work together to solve complex security problems is central to this role. This approach mandates an engineering-first approach: maximizing the utility of existing security tools before strategically building or buying new solutions to address any remaining security gaps.
To execute this vision, you will combine your enterprise security expertise with your hands-on engineering skills, leveraging automation, policy-as-code, and cloud-native technologies to deliver scalable, resilient, and secure solutions. Your work will ultimately set standards for security best practices across the organization and influence the architecture of business-critical systems.
