Role

Who you are

1+ years pre-sales engineering experience
A passion to serve the customer, which has played out in some customer-facing role like consulting or support, ideally solutions engineering
An ability to quickly communicate complex ideas around a technical topic, ideally on the fly at a whiteboard
Experience with at least one standard network security protocol. (eg. OAuth, OAuth2, SAML, LDAP)
We are looking for someone with hands-on experience in one or more of the following areas: web (JavaScript, HTML, frontend frameworks) development, mobile (iOS, Android) development, backend (Java, C#, Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby) development, IP-based real-time communications
An understanding of core security concerns within a typical application. (password hashing, SSL/TLS, encryption at rest, XSS, XSRF)
You are an elite communicator
Some roles may require travel to one of our office locations for in-person onboarding

What the job involves

We believe Solutions Engineers at Okta are involved in all stages of the customer’s development lifecycle and are experienced using presentations, email, phone and social media to connect with customers
We are looking for great teammates that can build sales presentations, product demonstrations, and educate customers (everyone from developers to product managers to C-level executives) on the best ways to cloud security technology
We believe in Okta’s Solutions Engineers empathize with customers and quickly discern their true technical needs by asking detailed and clarifying questions and presenting solutions that target those needs
You have the rare combination of technical savviness and business insight and you’re looking for a career where you can utilize both. As a Solutions Engineer at Okta, you will hone each of these skills by advising a diverse set of customers on what is possible using Okta’s Identity Platform
Support the sales team in helping customers understand what they can achieve with Okta
Understand customer requirements and communicate the business value of solving technology problems using cloud technology
Execute the delivery of POCs for customers that have more complex use cases, collaborating with other Okta engineering teams as needed
Craft technical content to show customers how to implement specific use cases or standard methodologies for new technologies
Prepare demos and proof of concepts to demonstrate various use cases for Okta’s Platform
Distill and communicate customer needs and product feedback to Product Management, Engineering, Marketing and Sales

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.
