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. We are looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer to work on our next-generation Imports Platform team. Imports Platform team is leading a strategic initiative to modernize Okta's identity lifecycle management capabilities by architecting and migrating from a legacy monolithic system to a highly scalable, distributed microservices platform. This critical service orchestrates the importing, syncing, and provisioning of identities and access policies—users, groups, roles, entitlements—from external directory services including Active Directory, Office 365, and LDAP-based systems. As a Principal Software Engineer on the Imports Platform team, you will be a cross-team technical leader who takes difficult, ambiguously defined problems and drives them from ideation through production impact without oversight. You will own projects from zero to landing—defining scope, planning execution, making architectural decisions, and articulating measurable impact across the group. You will generate novel solutions to complex distributed systems challenges, guide the team's technical direction, and get stakeholder buy-in on architectural strategy spanning multiple teams. Your sphere of influence extends beyond the Imports Platform team to adjacent teams within the group and cross-functional partners in Product, Design, and SRE. You will participate in group-level strategy, break down strategic initiatives into actionable technical milestones, and drive cross-team
