Here's a summary of the role: Identity infrastructure is not glamourware . It doesn't get standing ovations at company all-hands. But it is the thing every product in the portfolio depends on, and when it breaks, everyone knows. If you're the kind of PM who finds that genuinely interesting, read on. This role is for someone who has lived inside SAML flows, argued over PKCE token lifetimes, and knows exactly why SSO bypass lists are a necessary compromise. You'll own the authentication platform that thousands of enterprise customers trust, and you'll shape it alongside engineers who go deep. No surface-level roadmap ownership here. Here's a breakdown of what you'll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Own the product strategy and roadmap for core authentication flows: SAML 2.0, OIDC/OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, MFA enforcement, token lifecycle management, and multi-IdP federation. Make product decisions that sit at the intersection of system design, security architecture, and developer experience, working directly with senior engineers on protocol choices and infrastructure trade-offs. Drive adoption of platform identity capabilities across internal engineering teams through influence, moving products toward modern API patterns and away from legacy integration surfaces. Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to prototype ideas and validate concepts before you pitch them; this is expected, not optional. Track the IAM standards landscape, including passkeys, FIDO2, SCIM, zero-trust, and verifiable credentials, and use that knowledge to sharpen product direction. Translate complex authentication concepts (JWT structures, SAML assertions, PKCE handshakes) into clear specs, user stories, and prioritized backlogs for audiences from engineers to executives. These are the essentials you'll ne

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. Staff Product Marketing Manager, Access Management and Security Identity is how organizations unlock AI safely. At Okta, we build the trusted, neutral infrastructure that lets every enterprise embrace this new era with confidence. This is career-defining work for builders and owners who move with urgency and execute with excellence. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Product Marketing, you will be the product marketer for the secure-access layer that makes Okta indispensable to the largest enterprises in the world. Your charter is to elevate identity from a sign-in utility to the control plane for security in the AI era. You will do tis by pairing deep technical credibility with executive-grade storytelling across strategy, content, and field execution. The ideal candidate will be a unique blend of technologist and business strategist—someone who can dive deep into technical architecture while crafting portfolio-level value propositions that resonate with both CISOs and practitioners.

Most security assurance work is reactive: a customer asks, a team scrambles, an answer goes out. This role exists to end that cycle. As a Senior Staff Analyst, you’ll own a named portfolio of our most significant customers from a security perspective, and get ahead of what they need — their regulatory environment, their audit calendar, their risk appetite, their control expectations — well enough to have the evidence ready before the request arrives. You’ll lead customer security audits hands-on, sit across from customer security teams as a peer rather than a form-filler, and build account security plans that make the next assessment predictable instead of painful. This is deliberately a hands-on senior individual contributor role. You’ll spend your time in audits, in customer conversations, and in the detail of controls and evidence — not in a management chain. If you’ve got deep SOC 2 and ISO 27001 knowledge, real technical range across cloud architecture, identity and vulnerability management, and the presence to hold a room with a sceptical CISO, this is a portfolio you can genuinely own. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff): Own a portfolio of strategic accounts as their dedicated security point of contact, building durable relationships with their security, risk, compliance and procurement teams. Lead customer security audits and assessments hands-on — scoping, preparing evidence, running the sessions, defending control design and driving findings to closure with internal owners. Build and maintain an account security plan for each account: their frameworks and regulators, audit and reassessment cycles, known concerns, open items and the roadmap commitments they care about. Anticipate requirements before they’re raised, tracking regulatory change, industry expectations and each account’s compliance calendar so documentation and evidence are staged in advance. Act

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. Staff FullStack Engineer, AI Acceleration Team The AI Acceleration Team The AI Acceleration Team builds AI features right where identity and agents meet. Companies are handing real access to AI agents faster than their controls can keep up, and two problems show up first: how do you authorize what an agent is allowed to do on someone's behalf, and how do you keep both people and agents from being phished? We take those on directly. Our North Star: to get AI right, you have to get identity right. We are a new team, and we shape the problems as much as we solve them. We bring a product mindset to the work: we dig into what customers actually need, define the outcome, and build toward it. We move fast, stay close to the real problem, and are honest about what works. The Staff FullStack Engineer Opportunity As a Staff FullStack Engineer on the AI Acceleration Team, you will own the technical build for solving agent authorization and phishing resistance. You see what needs doing and start it. This is 0-to-1 work, meaning you will move on problems before they are fully specified, always keeping customer success as the ultimate bar. You will help shape which problems we take on, make architectural calls that outlive any single project, and set the technical bar for how we work. You will enforce least privilege for what agents can do and make phishing-resistant access the default. We build with Vercel and AWS, and you will likely work heavily in JavaScript/TypeScri

About Snorkel At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data. We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before.
