  • An attitude that builds up and creates multipliers across the team
  • 8+ years of software development experience

What the job involves

  • The Okta Customer Identity Cloud (CIC) provides robust access management solutions, such as Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) to power customer-facing applications and websites
  • FGA is a multi-Region software as a service (SaaS) offering for flexible, fine-grained authorization at any scale
  • It’s based on relationship-based access control (ReBAC), which is an evolution of role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC) authorization models
  • Reporting to the engineering manager, this role will be influential as the product grows to a strong, mature authorization service that exceeds our customer’s needs
  • Delivering features across our FGA product range using Go that are scalable, resilient, and testable
  • Empowering your teammates and enhancing the abilities of those around you
  • Promoting a culture of inclusion, continuous improvement, and collaboration
  • Identifying opportunities for enhancing our products and development processes
  • Collaborating closely with engineering and product across the Authorization domain to deliver against our product goals
  • Translating complex technical requirements into clear and concise criteria for the team
  • Participate in our on-call rotations to troubleshoot production issues

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.
