Role

Who you are

The ideal candidate is a product-oriented engineer who enjoys bridging the gap between sophisticated backend logic and a seamless user interface
5+ years of professional experience of full stack experience in building and maintaining production-grade web applications
Expert-level knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and React. Experience with modern build tools and CSS frameworks
Strong experience with Java (Spring/Dropwizard) and/or Golang
Deep understanding of RESTful API principles, JSON handling, and secure communication between frontend and backend
Familiarity with OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and JWT—specifically how they relate to session management and frontend authentication
Proficiency in SQL and experience working with relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
B.S. Computer Science or related field

Desirable

Experience with Cloud Infrastructure like AWS (Fargate, S3, CloudFront) and basic knowledge of Terraform
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or GitHub Actions)
Experience using tools like Splunk or SignalFX to debug issues across the full stack
A keen eye for design and experience working with design systems or component libraries
Understanding of how to build and deploy services across isolated infrastructure units

What the job involves

Okta Aerial is the foundational management layer that provides centralized visibility and governance across a customer’s entire multi-org ecosystem
It serves as a single pane of glass for account-level services, enabling zero-standing privileges and seamless orchestration across Okta’s globally distributed cell architecture
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to build the interfaces and services that define how administrators manage their Okta footprint at scale
You will be responsible for crafting intuitive, high-performance front-end experiences in React and robust backend APIs in Java
Lead the development of user-facing features for the Aerial Console, from the UI components down to the API and data persistence layers
Design and implement performant RESTful APIs and backend services in Java to support new multi-org management capabilities
Partner closely with UX Designers and Product Managers to translate complex administrative workflows into simple, powerful user experiences
Build and maintain scalable, responsive, and accessible web applications using React and modern state management libraries
Ensure high code quality through comprehensive unit and integration testing across the entire stack (e.g., Jest/Cypress for frontend, JUnit for backend)
Participate in technical design sessions, ensuring that frontend requirements are reflected in backend architecture and vice versa
Work with senior engineering team in major development projects, design and implementation
Participate in on-call rotations and collaborate with SRE to ensure the reliability and uptime of applications
Partner with our Product Development, QA, and Site Reliability Engineering teams for scoping the development and deployment work

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. It aims 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.
