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.
