Staff Software Security Engineer Jobs

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. 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. The ideal candidate will have an attacker mindset—the ability to think critically, creatively, and like an adversary when solvin

Title: Staff Site Reliability Engineer, Cloud Cost & Engineering Efficiency Location: Noida / Bangalore (Hybrid) Summary of role Sumo Logic's microservices architecture, hosted on AWS, ingests petabytes of data daily across many geographic regions in support of our planet-scale observability and security products, serving hundreds of millions of queries a day against thousands of petabytes of data. At that scale, every inefficiency — in code, architecture, or infrastructure — compounds into real cost. This role sits within the Product SRE organization, working alongside your global SRE team on your product area's reliability roadmap — with a mandate that leads with code as much as operations. You'll find where Sumo's systems are spending more compute, storage, or engineering time than necessary, and fix it in the code and architecture, not just the infra config, while also carrying the fuller SRE mandate — reliability, security posture, and improving the day-to-day experience of the engineers within your product area. You'll be part of a team that blends SRE and backend software engineering skillsets, partnering closely with product engineering teams across your product area. This is an engineering role — the work is about shipping code, architecture, and system-level changes that improve unit economics, not managing cost dashboards, tagging, or reserved-instance/savings-plan purchasing. What you’ll do Continuously discover cost and efficiency opportunities through production profiling, telemetry, cost data, capacity trends, and system-level analysis — across algorithmic inefficiencies, resource-heavy code paths, and architectural decisions — and turn ambiguous problems into prioritized engineering initiatives. Apply performance and capacity engineering techniques to understand CPU, memory, storage, network, and I/O behavior under real production workloads, and optimize the resulting resource footprint. Write production-grade code to implement the optimizations

We tackle complex challenges across the full stack, from browser-based interfaces to high-performance backends to Linux systems engineering. We’re looking for engineers who have a keen sense of the product experience and how to power it with performant systems. On this team, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your skills across our infrastructure and product, and to lead end-to-end efforts with meaningful impact. We value diverse perspectives and encourage candidates from all backgrounds and experiences to apply. You Will Build high-throughput backend applications and services, like streaming chat between user and agent. Design a collaborative "Multiplayer Computer" that lets humans and AI agents work together on shared shells, filesystems, and state—conflict-free and in real time.
