This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. The Agent Gateway Team The Agent Gateway team owns the identity-aware infrastructure that connects enterprise AI agents to the tools, data, and services their organizations authorize. Every call from Claude, Agentforce, Codex, and internal/homegrown agents to a resource flows through us. We enforce authorization, isolate credentials, mint the right token per target, and produce the audit trails that security teams rely on. We are early in a rapidly evolving space. The standards for agent identity (MCP, OAuth token exchange, DCR) are being built under our feet. Our roadmap includes hardening the data plane for on-premises customer deployments, extending policy semantics beyond tool-level allowlists, adding native support for Agent-to-Agent brokered delegation, and scaling to tenants with thousands of virtual MCP servers. The Senior Software Engineer Opportunity Okta is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build the Agent Gateway. You will own features and components across the data and control planes, turning technical designs and product requirements into reliable production systems. Working alongside staff engineers, you will implement token exchange, request routing, credential resolution, and policy evaluation as agent identity specifications evolve. This is a hands-on software development role at the intersection of product, security, and infrastructure. You will ship services that handle agentic traffic reliably and performantly at scale. Wha

About the Role Amplitude's Cloud Platform team builds the systems that every Amplitude engineer relies on every day to ship code — and we're rebuilding them for the AI era. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own medium-to-high-complexity platform projects end-to-end and help shape a platform where AI agents are first-class users alongside humans: kicking off deploys, opening pull requests against infrastructure, and triaging incidents, so a single engineer can get the throughput of a team. You'll partner with Staff engineers and product teams to make Kubernetes effortless across the engineering org, building self-service automation and scalable AWS infrastructure that lets product teams ship faster, safer, and with less cognitive load. If you're excited about building the systems that other engineers will rely on every day, this role is for you. Key Responsibilities Lead high-impact platform projects — design and ship capabilities that move the needle on developer experience, reliability, or security, and set the bar for quality, testing, and safe deployment practices. Build the AI-augmented platform. Design tooling and workflows that help engineers get more out of AI-assisted development — think infra primitives that are easy to reason about, automated review, and policy-as-code that keeps the guardrails strong as AI shifts how code gets written. Own Infrastructure-as-Code for Kubernetes, AWS, and GCP using Terraform, Helm, Kustomize, and emerging tooling — and make it consumable enough that an LLM can safely PR against it. Evolve our CI/CD backbone (Argo CD / Workflows / Rollouts, GitHub Actions) to make deploys faster, safer, and easier to reason about. Instrument and operate. Drive observability with Datadog and Amplitude, own dashboards and SLOs, and use the data to push reliability forward. Participate in on-call, lead incident response when needed, and turn postmortems into durable platform improvements. Reduce toil and tech debt with pragmatic remediation
