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

Role

Who you are

  • 3+ years of experience building Java-based web applications
  • Good understanding of design patterns, scalability patterns, security engineering, and object-oriented principles
  • Experience working in fast-paced software development teams leveraging continuous integration and deployment practices
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work across functions
  • B.S. in CS or equivalent

Desirable

  • Experience building anomaly detection systems or risk systems is a huge plus

  • Experience with one or more UI technologies such as Angular, ReactJS, Backbone, and Vue

What the job involves

  • Okta is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join its Identity Threat Protection (ITP) engineering team. This is an opportunity to solve critical security problems. The ideal candidate has experience building, launching, and supporting security products at scale
  • You will share our passion and great pride in elegant solutions and will join an engineering team that strongly believes in designing for scale, rigorous code reviews, automated testing, and an iterative process to build high-quality enterprise software. You will demonstrate great aptitude for software engineering excellence and aren’t afraid to be a player-coach
  • Our team is fast, innovative, and flexible, with agile release cycles and individual ownership. Here is an opportunity to work on stimulating security projects and emerging technologies, as well as a chance to work on complex security and ML challenges
  • Job Duties and Responsibilities
  • Own and manage the design, development, delivery, and supportability of cloud-native security products - from concept design to final implementation
  • Cross-group solid collaboration and interpersonal communication skills working with a variety of roles, including engineering, product management, design, support, and documentation
  • Commit to high programming standards by reviewing code and writing unit and functional tests
  • Experience working with remote teams and individuals while ensuring quality, agility, and velocity
  • Participate in rotations to expeditiously unblock customers and make them successful

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.
