- Strong understanding of Kubernetes fundamentals, cluster administration, and container orchestration
- Expertise in designing, building, and managing complex multi-cloud deployment pipelines
- Experience creating, configuring, and managing custom AMIs for various workloads and environments
- In-depth knowledge of Linux systems, including system administration, shell scripting, and security best practices

What the job involves
- Okta ORD (WIC) provides easy, secure access for your workforce so you can focus on other strategic priorities—like reducing costs, and doing more for your customers
- We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help drive our build, release, and testing infrastructure to the next level
- You will focus on scaling and optimizing our systems for large-scale, high-performance deployments—reducing build times from days to mere minutes while maintaining high-quality releases
- As part of our collaborative, fast-paced engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in delivering tools and processes that support continuous delivery, test-driven development, and agile methodologies
- Design and Automate Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: Architect, implement, and manage highly available and scalable cloud-native platforms leveraging Kubernetes and Linux across multiple providers (e.g., AWS, GCP). Develop and maintain robust tools, pipelines, and deployment strategies to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management
- Drive CI/CD and Artifact Management: Own the setup, maintenance, and ongoing development of our Artifactory application suite (artifactories, cleanup, image publication). Create, maintain, and enhance fully automated, multi-environment CI/CD build processes to streamline software delivery and deployment
- Build and Optimise Core Services: Develop scalable, reliable, and extensible platforms, services, and tools using modern backend languages like Java, Python, or Go. Focus on automation, reliability, and security in all development efforts
- Enhance Operational Efficiency: Identify and eliminate manual processes and inefficiencies by implementing automated solutions to enhance operational efficiency and minimise human error. Develop self-service tools and processes to empower engineering teams to independently manage their infrastructure
- Platform Security and Compliance: Prioritise security by maintaining up-to-date base images, applying security patches, and implementing robust security measures. Create and maintain custom Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), optimising them for performance and security
- Reliability and Incident Management: Collaborate closely with engineering and operations teams to ensure the reliability, performance, and security of production systems. Respond promptly to production incidents, troubleshoot complex issues, and implement effective preventive measures to ensure optimal system performance
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.
