Staff Backend Engineer We’re redefining Privileged Access Management (PAM) from the ground up, purpose-built for Cloud, SaaS, Databases, Containers, and any virtualized environment. Our mission is to simplify and secure workforce access with seamless, secure-by-default workflows that adapt dynamically to modern infrastructure. We eliminate standing privileges, enforce least privilege, and embed Zero Trust principles into every access workflow by default. About the Role We are seeking a Staff Backend Engineer to serve as the core technical anchor and senior Individual Contributor (IC) for our newly established engineering pod in India. At the P4 level, your primary sphere of influence will be at the team level —taking ownership of complex, ambiguous problems and defining how to solve them cleanly, securely, and efficiently. In this role, you will lead by example through hands-on architecture, high-velocity coding, and end-to-end execution. You will drive the implementation of secure database and network device connectors (routers, switches, firewalls) on top of our core Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) platform. You will work closely with our local Technical Team Lead to elevate the pod’s engineering craft, acting as a technical multiplier for mid-level developers while ensuring tight architectural alignment with our global team.

As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer on our Dublin/EMEA team, you will be the senior-most technical voice on the ground — setting architectural direction for our Kubernetes platform, driving the hardest reliability and scaling problems to resolution, and partnering with Staff/Principal engineers on our US and India teams to keep our global platform strategy coherent. You'll report to the Senior Manager, Site Reliability Engineering, and work alongside a Senior SRE and the rest of the Dublin team.

The Staff Product Security Engineer Opportunity As a Staff Product Security Engineer, you will play a critical role in safeguarding Okta’s products by conducting comprehensive security reviews, guiding engineering teams in secure development practices, and handling externally reported vulnerabilities. You will engage in code reviews, penetration testing, and architectural security assessments to ensure the security of Okta’s platforms and features. This role is not suited for individuals who rely solely on automated vulnerability scanning. Instead, you must possess a deep technical understanding of web applications, backend services, penetration testing methodologies, and secure design principles. A successful candidate will have expertise in authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth, OIDC), threat modeling, and a strong desire to automate security processes by building tools that proactively identify vulnerabilities. You will also be responsible for communicating risks, impact, and remediation strategies to developers, leadership, and external audiences through documentation, presentations, and external publications. The ideal candidate will also demonstrate a deep technical background in assessing AI-integrated software architectures and securing Large Language Models (LLMs) against emerging threats and modern vulnerability classes.

About Okta Secures AI Team The Okta for AI Agents Team is building the future of digital identity management. The way companies are using agents and allowing them access is undergoing a fundamental shift, enabling teams to move fast while staying secure. Our North Star is clear: To get AI right, you have to get identity right. We are not just managing identities; we are building the industry's first Identity Security Fabric for the agentic era. As organizations rapidly deploy AI, these non-human entities are acting with access to critical tools, often bypassing traditional perimeters and creating a 'Shadow AI' crisis. Our mission is to move identity from a reactive gatekeeper to a unified control plane, transforming AI risk into business ROI. We are tackling this by implementing a comprehensive four-pillar maturity model: Discover, Onboard, Protect, and Govern. We are driving innovation by defining the standards for Agentic Identity—including pioneer work with securing AI Agents and support for protocols like MCP. You will be helping us build the infrastructure that allows enterprises to scale AI safely, ensuring every access decision—whether made by a human or an automated agent—is authenticated, authorized, and audited at scale. We are a diverse team of engineers, product managers, and designers who are bringing Okta’s expertise in identity to define the future of Agent Identity management, focusing on enablement while staying secure.

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
