  • Solid understanding of NodeJS
  • A deep understanding of Javascript and TypeScript

  • Thrive in a highly collaborative, fully remote, and distributed culture
  • Demonstrate ownership, accountability, attention to detail, and a customer-focused attitude
  • Strong experience with unit, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing
  • This position requires the ability to access federal environments and/or have access to protected federal data

  • Proven experience and understanding of architecture principles across infrastructure platforms, security, data, integration, and application layers
  • Experience solving problems at scale

What the job involves

  • The Dashboard Core Services team was established to help us streamline and bring consistency to how we build dashboards backends for Okta Customer Identity Cloud (CIC)
  • Today there are several dashboard backends built in isolation and we aim to standardize our architecture and provide a robust set of building blocks to help enhance the internal and external developer experience
  • In addition to providing guidance and building blocks, the team is responsible for development and stewardship of our main, customer facing dashboard
  • Be a part of a collaborative and agile team, interfacing with the product managers and other teams to support shared services
  • Work with technical leaders to help find opportunities for optimization of existing services
  • Debug and resolve production issues and implement fixes for them
  • Support existing services by ensuring that security issues and dependency updates are addressed in a timely manner
  • Support other teams by reviewing changes to shared services and addressing bugs
  • Work using NodeJS (Javascript/Typescript), MongoDB, and PostgreSQL on AWS and Azure

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.
