Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
Join Okta’s Enterprise Security team as a Senior Engineer responsible for safeguarding Okta’s corporate environment. You’ll work closely with the Security Engineering, Business Technology Engineering, Vulnerability Management and Product Security teams to implement and manage endpoint security solutions and protect core infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and corporate data.

The ideal candidate should have a proven track record of automating solutions utilizing a cloud-first approach and be comfortable communicating concisely and in detail with technical leadership and management.

- Maintain continuous technical oversight of all security tools deployed across the Security org.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive, clear and up-to-date security documentation and architecture diagrams to ensure consistent and effective communication of security practices across teams and stakeholders.
