What the job involves

We are looking for a very senior, knowledgeable Software Architect (P6) that both wants to be hands on and think about the industry big picture at the same time:
Implement proof of concepts and demos of new products, features or standard implementations in our products. We have a dedicated environment for these here
Lead industry wide efforts and protocols (e.g. MCP, A2A) around identity with recommendations, samples, SDKs
Implement samples and SDKs to make it easy to use Auth0 capabilities
Research market adjacencies to inform company strategy, m&a decisions and future investment ideas

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.
