Okta Identity Architect

Join Okta as an Identity Architect, where you will transition from being an external customer to the technical cornerstone of the internal "Okta on Okta" team. You will configure, deploy, and battle-test cutting-edge platform features, directly influencing the future of the Okta platform. This role offers the unique opportunity to become an elite practitioner of a world-class security platform and collaborate with top-tier engineers across the customer base.

• Act as the lead hands-on architect configuring and deploying Alpha platform capabilities within Okta’s own corporate IAM tenant.
• Lead the hands-on architecture and configuration of how the Okta Platform governs non-human, autonomous AI workloads across O4AA.
• Build the internal technical deployment blueprints for how Okta DBSSO and Chrome DBSC complement one another, leveraging Okta Identity Engine (OIE).
• Practitioner Empathy & Communication: Exceptional ability to connect with and speak the language of other hands-on platform engineers and security administrators. You excel at translating highly complex platform configurations into clear, peer-to-peer technical explanations, whether in documentation, video walkthroughs, or collaborative technical workshops
• Nice To Have: Okta Certified Administrator or Okta Certified Consultant (These are a great plus, but are not required if you have equivalent, proven hands-on engineering experience)
• Technical Influence: Serve as an equal technical peer to product management and product engineering, collaborating on feasibility, platform architecture paths, and real-world system behaviors
• Proven Okta Platform Expertise: Extensive, practical experience managing, configuring, and troubleshooting Okta in complex enterprise production environments. You possess active, hands-on mastery of the Okta Identity Engine (OIE), Directory Integrations, Advanced Policies, Workflows, and Okta Platform APIs—whether you learned this on the job or proved it through certifications
• Protocol & Threat Literacy: Deep, hands-on knowledge of core protocols: OAuth2/OIDC (especially Token Exchange), SAML, mTLS, JWT, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Strong technical understanding of modern identity threat vectors (AiTM phishing, info-stealer malware, session hijacking)
