What the job involves

As a Software Engineer in Test, you aren’t just "testing infrastructure"—you are our first line of defense. You will own the quality and resilience of our Global Edge, ensuring that our 99.99% uptime is unshakeable as traffic hits our edge services
If you want to build the systems that protect millions of users before their requests even hit our core servers, this is your stage. Please note this is an operations focused role
Edge Guardian: Drive end-to-end validation of our global traffic entry points
Resilience at Scale: Partner with Technical Operations to simulate regional failovers and "black hole" scenarios across our ALB/NLB and routing tiers
Engineering Over Toil: We wage war against manual testing. You’ll design sophisticated automation that validates infrastructure changes before they reach production
Global Influence: Support quality initiatives across a distributed team (SF, Bangalore, Sydney & London), acting as the SME for "Edge Readiness."

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.
