At Okta, we’re always innovating across the entire identity landscape, and our customers are always asking to do more with us. As the pace of change in the cloud continues at a rapid pace, the ability to move fast is a competitive advantage. To fund this continuous innovation, Okta has created an incubation program, building and nurturing new products and businesses internally. These projects are given the freedom to build independently like a startup, with the backing support of the Okta organization – the best of both worlds.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a crucial part of the core team building a new product from the ground up, with a focus on implementing the full stack architecture, APIs, and service layers, and assembling management dashboard components. Our team is working with cutting edge web & cloud technologies including Rust, Web Assembly (WASM), NextJS, and TailwindCSS. This is a unique opportunity to get in at the ground level for a highly visible and expansive career opportunity, with an incredible support system in the Okta organization.
