Role

Who you are

Practical experience using Node.js (JavaScript or Typescript) or similar language
Experience working on systems that are highly-reliable, maintainable and scalable
Thorough understanding of application security and cloud security best practices
A systematic problem-solving approach, coupled with strong communication skills and a sense of ownership and drive
Experience with cloud environments (AWS and Azure preferred)
The ability to communicate your ideas and collaborate with other team members effectively in a remote working environment
Experience designing, analyzing, and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems
Enthusiasm to work with and learn more about Identity Protocols such as OAuth, OIDC and SAML

What the job involves

Auth0 is an easy-to-implement authentication and authorization platform designed by developers for developers
Enterprise Federations is responsible for building and maintaining Auth0’s Enterprise Connections capabilities
B2B SaaS and Enterprise applications often have a need to integrate with other Identity Providers in order to allow their users to authenticate in the way that is most convenient and secure for them
For example, a business already using Auth0 for their customer-facing applications and Okta’s Workforce Identity Cloud (or a third-party Identity Provider) for their workforce identity needs may want to allow their own employees to login to their customer apps with their work accounts
This is where Enterprise Connections comes in. This capability allows users to authenticate using a wide variety of Identity Providers through a ‘federated’ connection while isolating the application builders from the complexities and idiosyncrasies of each provider. It is the Enterprise Federations team’s responsibility to make sure this works seamlessly
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Enterprise Federations team
Be a part of a fast paced, agile team
Design and build features using technologies such as Node.js (Javascript/Typescript), AWS, Azure, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Kubernetes
Collaborate with industry leading experts to implement the cutting-edge of Identity Protocols and Open Standards such as OpenID Connect, OAuth and SAML
Maintain and operate services with extremely high scale
Participate in scheduled on-call rotations

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.
