Workforce Identity Cloud

Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) provides easy, secure access for your workforce so you can focus on other strategic priorities, such as reducing costs and doing more for your customers.

If you like to be challenged and have a passion for solving large-scale automation, global traffic routing, and resilient cloud infrastructure problems, we would love to hear from you. The ideal candidate is someone who exemplifies the ethics of, “If you have to do something more than once, automate it” and who can rapidly self-educate on new network topologies, multi-cloud ecosystems, and agentic engineering models.

Position Overview:

The Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure will play a foundational role in architecting, evolving, and securing Okta's global core network fabric and multi-cloud platform layers. This position focuses on building highly resilient, edge management in AWS and GCP cloud, executing enterprise-wide cloud migrations (AWS to GCP), enforcing absolute Zero-Trust primitives (mTLS / TLS 1.3), and integrating cutting-edge AI automation layers (Agentic SRE) into our day-to-day operations.

As a Staff Engineer on this team, you will act as a key technical anchor in India, working closely with global counterparts to maintain Okta's high-availability SLAs while protecting the platform against active global DDoS attacks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Global Ingress & Routerless Evolution (CFSaaS): Design and engineer Next-Gen traffic entryways utilizing Cloudflare for SaaS. Drive the migration toward modern, decentralized edge infrastructure—eliminating legacy hardware routing bottlenecks, shifting compute to Edge Workers, and lowering latency for millions of global requests.
