Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human
Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.
This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.
Okta is the leading independent provider of enterprise identity. The Okta Identity Cloud enables organizations to securely connect the right people to the right technologies at the right time. With over 6,500 pre-built integrations to applications and infrastructure providers, Okta customers can easily and securely use the best technologies for their business. Over 7,950 organizations, including 20th Century Fox, JetBlue, Nordstrom, Slack, Teach for America, and Twilio, trust Okta to help protect the identities of their workforces and customers.
We are looking for an experienced Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack) to join our next-generation Imports Platform team. The Imports Platform team is leading a strategic initiative to modernize Okta's identity lifecycle management capabilities by architecting and migrating from a legacy monolithic system to a highly scalable, distributed microservices platform. This critical service orchestrates the importing, syncing, mapping, and provisioning of identities and access policies—users, groups, roles, entitlements—from external directory services including Active Directory, Office 365, and LDAP-based systems.
As a Full Stack Staff Software Engineer, you will be a technical leader who independently owns end-to-end features and platform capabilities—spanning intuitive user interfaces, REST/GraphQL APIs, high-throughput asynchronous job engines, and microservice backends. You will drive technical strategy, make critical architectural decisions across the entire stack, and influence both your immediate team and cross-functional initiatives. You'll solve complex challenges ranging from building rich, responsive admin workflows to managing massive-scale batch processing, real-time synchronization, and identity resolution algorithms.
This role requires strong technical leadership, strategic thinking, and the ability to balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health. You will mentor engineers across the full stack, partner closely with Product Management and UX on feature strategy, and help shape the future of Okta's Imports platform.
This is a hybrid position requiring a blend of remote and in-office collaboration.
