What the job involves
- The Okta Privileged Access Management (PAM) is an identity-centric approach to a common and critical privileged access use case. Our elegant Zero Trust architecture is purpose-built for the modern cloud and helps customers solve challenging security and operations pain points at scale
- We're looking for a staff-level Infrastructure Platform engineer to join a team of highly skilled and talented team players who're proud of what they own and deliver
- Our elite team is fast, creative, and flexible; with a weekly release cycle and individual ownership, we expect great things from our engineers and reward them with stimulating new projects, new technologies, and the chance to have significant equity in a company that is changing the cloud computing landscape forever
- Work with engineering teams to design, develop and deliver cloud-based infrastructure projects on a modern tech stack (Kubernetes, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, MKS, Redis, OpenSearch, Docker, Terraform on AWS)
- Drive evaluation, development, and rollout of new common microservices on EKS platform using ArgoCD, Helm Charts, etc

- Conduct design and code reviews. Ascertain that proposed designs consider scale, redundancy, and multi-tenancy. Ensure high programming standards by writing unit and functional tests

- Evaluate system performance and resolve bottlenecks
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior developers
- Collaborate with architects, QA, product owners, security and operations engineers
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.
