Company mission

To improve the connections between people and tools to make companies more productive and secure.

Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of software development experience using Node.js (JavaScript or Typescript) or similar language
  • Experience working on systems that are highly-reliable, maintainable and scalable
  • Knowledge of Identity Protocols such as OAuth, OIDC and SAML
  • An interest in working on systems that are highly-reliable, maintainable and scalable
  • Familiarity with good engineering practices and testing
  • A systematic problem-solving approach and a desire to learn
  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS and Azure preferred)
  • The ability to communicate your ideas and collaborate with other team members effectively in a remote working environment

Desirable

  • Experience with Cloud environments from several vendors
  • Experience in working on integration projects between different software vendors
  • You understand the Devops culture and like moving between infrastructure and code
  • Knowledge of security engineering and application security
  • Proven experience and understanding of architecture principles across infrastructure platforms, security, data, integration, and application layers

What the job involves

  • Enterprise Federations is responsible for building and maintaining Auth0’s Enterprise Connections capabilities
  • B2B SaaS and Enterprise applications often have a need to integrate with other Identity Providers in order to allow their users to authenticate in the way that is most convenient and secure for them
  • For example, a business already using Customer Identity Cloud for their customer-facing applications and Okta’s Workforce Identity Cloud (or a third-party Identity Provider) for their workforce identity needs may want to allow their own employees to login to their customer apps with their work accounts
  • This is where Enterprise Connections comes in. This capability allows users to authenticate using a wide variety of Identity Providers through a ‘federated’ connection whilst isolating the application builders from the complexities and idiosyncrasies of each provider
  • It is the Enterprise Federations team’s responsibility to make sure this works seamlessly
  • Be a part of a fast paced, agile team
  • Design and build features using technologies such as Node.js (Javascript/Typescript), AWS, Azure, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Kubernetes
  • Collaborate with industry leading experts to implement the cutting-edge of Identity Protocols and Open Standards such as OpenID Connect, OAuth and SAML
  • Maintain and operate services with extremely high scale

Our take

Okta started off as an identity company where organisations, large and small, could tap into the company to have a single sign-on interface to access all cloud applications now centralised. Okta has since expanded to provide identity management at the device as well as the server level.

The new approach towards network security is increasingly based on identification and authentication, and Okta is on track to become the go-to vendor in the space. They aim to do so by developing products that enable people to access applications and other tools more smoothly and securely than ever before.

Okta has taken strides towards expansion through significant employee growth and shuffling executive leadership. The company has also made lateral moves such as tackling governance concerns, opening up new paths for revenue.
