Role

Who you are

  • This is an Okta Federal Position and only open to U.S. person Status (e.g. a U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refuge, or Asylee)
  • 2+ years of software development experience using Node.js (JavaScript or Typescript) or similar language

  • 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
  • This position requires access to controlled unclassified information or other sensitive government data. As a condition of employment for this position, the successful candidate must be able to submit documentation establishing U.S. person status (e.g. a U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refugee, or Asylee 22 CFR 120.15) upon hire

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

  • We are looking for a Software Engineer II to join our IAM Enterprise Federations team
  • 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.
