This role offers the opportunity to work on high-impact solutions that directly improve customer success and accelerate time-to-value with Okta's identity and access management platform.
You will design, develop, test, and deploy high-quality software assets across a diverse technology stack including Java, React, Node.js, Python, and .NET. Your responsibilities include collaborating with technical architects, delivery consultants, and product managers to identify innovation opportunities and define project requirements. You'll write clean, maintainable, well-documented code; create proofs-of-concept and prototypes to explore new technologies; and engage with field teams and partners to gather feedback and ensure solutions are effective and user-friendly.

Strong fundamentals in software engineering principles, data structures, and algorithms are essential. Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines is a plus. Familiarity with Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts is highly desirable but not required. Excellent problem-solving skills and strong communication and collaboration abilities are critical.
