What the job involves

Our Performance & Resilience team operates on a hub-spoke model, with a core focus on automation. We build tools, processes, and automation frameworks that empower our entire Engineering organization to enhance performance, resilience, and load testing optimization
You'll be supporting specific teams with performance optimization and testing, ensuring our systems not only maintain their current high level of performance but continuously evolve and improve
This isn't your typical QA or testing role, but rather a deep engineering role focused on performance. We're looking for a Software Engineer in Test, who is eager to drive non-functional testing, identify critical optimization areas, and conduct in-depth analysis to understand "what's broken and why."

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.
