Who you are

- Working experience in Product Security concepts
- Working experience in risk management
- Working experience in handling incident response for product-related issues
- Knowledge of incident and log management tools

What the job involves
- The Security team’s mission is to strengthen Okta’s position as the leading Identity-as-a-service solutions provider by identifying and resolving risks to employees, products, and, most importantly, our customers
- With the ever-increasing pace of cloud application adoption, companies are struggling to find ways to accurately assess risk and act at the speed of their business
- The Staff Product Security Engineer, PSIRT position is crucial in ensuring that Okta’s systems and services meet the highest security standards and align with our customers’ requirements
- This position requires expertise in security operations, responsible disclosure, vulnerability management, and program management
- Responsible for defining, improving, formalizing, and implementing Okta’s Product Security Incident Response Program for all products and business units
- Oversee the entire lifecycle from discovery to resolution, including triaging, impact assessment, coordination with engineering teams, and validating fixes while ensuring timely communication with internal and external stakeholders
- Lead the overall security disclosure program, from triaging to disclosure

- Collaborate with internal teams to improve workflows, governance, and communication of vulnerabilities and risks
- Work closely with Engineering, IT, Product, Legal, and Security teams on cross-functional initiatives
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.
