Get to know Okta
Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core of business security and growth.
At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.
Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
We are looking for an Application Analyst to use our declarative development tools to expand and maintain the Okta Integration Network (OIN) , which consists of integrations of different types ( SAML, SCIM, Okta's Secure Web Authentication, OIDC, MFA, VPN, etc ). Application Analysts at Okta have the major responsibility of not only growing and maintaining the OIN, but also performing detailed functionality verification of features and documentation for integrations submitted by integrators/partners to be added to the OIN Application.
The ideal Application Analyst intern has knowledge of web (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), authentication (SAML, OAuth, OIDC), and API integration (REST, SOAP, SCIM) technologies. You will need to work internally with developers and product managers, and externally with Okta's partners to determine feasibility of adding new integrations, and/or enhancing existing integrations. In addition, you will also estimate and coordinate efforts internally and externally for delivering Okta-built and partner-built integrations in a timely fashion. So you should be interested in and enjoy communication, documentation and project management. We are looking for someone who can fill the immediate gap, and then work to automate and improve our systems and tools, and add value in ways we don't yet see.
