- You know how computers work and can apply that to solve hard problems, period
- You constantly strive to hit the right balance between simplicity and flexibility
- You have a talent to grok customer's needs and continuously iterate on your understanding of a problem space based on their feedback, industry trends and available technology
- You are able to work in a team environment, have good communication skills and understand the value of collaboration

What the job involves
- We are looking for a very senior, knowledgeable Principal Architect 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. 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.
