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 World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology—anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transform how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth.

At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can improve us with their unique experiences.

Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

The Device Identity and Access organization is at the forefront of Okta’s Zero Trust vision. As a foundational pillar within Okta Research and Development (ORD), our mission is to transform the device itself into a secure, trusted, and effortless identity factor. We are the teams responsible for ensuring users can seamlessly interact with their work from any endpoint, anywhere in the world.

We engineer the end-to-end device experience—from our flagship Fast Pass, Okta Device Access (ODA), and Device Assurance. Our teams own the continuous authentication pipeline, device lifecycle management, and the sophisticated cloud services that analyze real‑time trust and assurance signals to make frictionless, passwordless access a reality across Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux and Android.

Our organization is comprised of engineers who thrive at the intersection of deep client‑side platform engineering and massive‑scale distributed systems. The work we do secures millions of enterprise endpoints globally, prevents modern identity attacks, and fundamentally changes how people work by making world‑class security completely invisible to the end user.
