Senior Software Engineer

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.

We are looking for a Senior Automation Engineer to design and scale intelligent automation across Okta’s Enterprise Technology ecosystem. This role will reduce manual operational work, improve developer productivity, and accelerate the software delivery lifecycle across platforms such as Salesforce, NetSuite, AEM, Boomi, identity systems, CI/CD platforms, and other enterprise applications.

The engineer will build reliable automation services, reusable integration patterns, and AI-assisted developer agents that understand source code, metadata, configuration, tickets, documentation, deployment history, and operational context. These solutions will automate release activities, identify deployment risks, reduce merge-conflict resolution effort, improve environment management, and enable safe self-service operations.

The role requires a combination of software engineering, enterprise application expertise, API and integration development, CI/CD automation, security engineering, and practical experience applying AI to developer and operational workflows. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between platform-specific technologies and building scalable, secure, platform-agnostic automation frameworks.
