If you are too, let's talk.</p></div><p><strong>Okta is The World's Identity Company.</strong> We free everyone to safely use any technology - anywhere, on any device or app. Our Identity as a Service solution enables secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>The Engineering Opportunity</h2>
<p>Okta's Workforce Identity Cloud secures billions of global logins every day. The Platform Scalability team within the Resilience organization owns the speed, efficiency, and scale of Okta's core authentication and authorization service. We analyze and optimize system behavior across every layer of the stack - from virtualized hardware and the JVM, through MySQL query execution, caching, and the edge, up to cloud components (AWS/GCP) and application code - and we build the frameworks that keep the platform fast and protected for thousands of organizations and millions of daily active users.</p>
<p>We are seeking a <strong>Senior Back-End Software Engineer</strong> to help own the scalability, efficiency, and service protection of our expanding Identity as a Service platform.</p>
<p>You will build traffic-shaping and service-protection frameworks (rate limiting, concurrency limits, query timeouts, read isolation), create tooling and automation that makes latency and resource bottlenecks easy to find, and dig into production metrics to understand how the system behaves under real customer traffic. While SRE and Database Reliability Engineering keep the service up and running, the Platform Scalability team keeps it fast and efficient - and we partner closely with them to get there.</p>
<p>Because we own monitoring of system latency, throughput, and resource utilization, this is not a heads-down coding role: keeping an eye on system health is part of the regular rhythm of the job, alongside project work and deep-dive investigations.</p>
<p>We value iterative development, automated testing, and individual ownership. Join our creative, fast-paced team to work on impactful projects at serious scale.</p>
<h2>Job Duties and Responsibilities</h2>
<ul>
<li>Design and implement backend frameworks that protect and optimize critical system resources, including rate limiting, traffic shaping, concurrency controls, and query timeout enforcement.</li>
<li>Monitor production latency, throughput, and resource utilization across the database, application, cache, and edge layers; create and maintain meaningful metrics, dashboards, and alerts, often through automated tooling.</li>
<li>Analyze latency and scalability bottlenecks end-to-end - JVM profiling, thread and heap analysis, SQL query plans, slow logs, and Hibernate behavior - and drive fixes in code, SQL, and configuration.</li>
<li>Perform capacity and cost-efficiency analysis (for example, determining whether databases and compute are right-sized for current load), participate in weekly metrics reviews, and support onboarding of large customers and high-traffic events.</li>
<li>Advise engineering teams on scalable, efficient feature design; review pull requests and SQL changes for latency, resource, and scale impact and recommend tuning or refactoring.</li>
<li>Actively explore and integrate modern AI-driven developer tooling, automated diagnostics, and intelligent monitoring to accelerate latency and capacity investigations, automate analysis of metrics and logs, and reduce toil.</li>
<li>Write high-quality unit and functional tests and participate in design and code reviews to keep the engineering bar high.</li>
<li>Participate in on-call rotations handling latency and scale-related customer escalations, rate limit requests, and production incidents; contribute to Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and long-term mitigations.</li>
<li>Collaborate closely with SRE, Database Reliability Engineering, Architects, QA, Product Owners, and Customer Support to deliver secure and dependable software.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Minimum Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities</h2>
<ul>
<li>5+ years of experience as a software developer with strong knowledge of Java or a similar language, including a solid understanding of JVM internals, garbage collection, and concurrency.</li>
<li>Strong experience with relational databases - preferably MySQL and Hibernate - including query optimization, indexing, execution plan analysis, and schema design.</li>
<li>Proven experience diagnosing and resolving latency, throughput, and scaling bottlenecks in high-availability, multi-tenant SaaS environments.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with profiling and observability tools (e.g., Java Flight Recorder, async-profiler, thread/heap dump analysis, Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus/Grafana or similar).</li>
<li>Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred, or GCP/Azure) and modern container ecosystems (Docker, Kubernetes).<br><br>#LI-Hybrid<br><br>#LI-MA1<br><br>P15543_3600505</li>

<h3><strong>Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human</strong></h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.</p>
<h3><strong>The Okta Identity Governance Team</strong></h3>
<p>Okta Identity Governance (OIG) is Okta's Identity Governance and Administration solution, responsible for some of the most critical and visible workflows in enterprise identity: how people request access, how approvers grant it, how entitlements are enforced, and how organizations prove to auditors that only the right people have the right access.</p>
<p>OIG is the leading contributor to Okta's new product bookings, and it runs inside some of the largest enterprises in the world — the kind of accounts where a single tenant carries hundreds of thousands of identities across thousands of applications.</p>
<p>OIG currently supports high-compliance public sector workloads and plans to expand our footprint to support the most secure, highly classified environments in government.</p>

<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human<br><br></strong>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.<br><br>This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.</p></div><p><strong>The Senior Software Engineer Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>The team that built Jeeva AI is building Digital Workers, a new suite of autonomous agents for identity operations and security inside Okta. The team works directly with Todd McKinnon, Okta's co-founder and CEO, with the opportunity to bring this product to Okta's 20,000+ customers. You will help shape the product with the ownership and pace of a startup and the resources of a public company.</p>
<p>You will build the harnesses and evaluations that make these workers reliable. They investigate risk, use tools, wait for approvals and complete tasks across enterprise systems. Bring depth in agent execution or model quality and help turn it into working software customers can trust.</p>
<p><strong>About You</strong></p>
<p><em>Production builder:</em> You have shipped AI software and know what changes when real users depend on it.</p>
<p><em>Careful evaluator:</em> You investigate failures and use evidence to judge quality.</p>
<p><em>Strong owner:</em> You follow an improvement through code, evaluation, release and customer use.</p>
<p><strong>What you will be doing</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Build the agent harness for planning, tool use, memory, context compaction, interruption and recovery during long-running work.</li>
<li>Integrate OpenAI and Anthropic model APIs. Select models using measured quality, latency and cost, with clear failure handling.</li>
<li>Evaluate existing harnesses and build only the missing pieces. Keep the harness connected to AWS workflow execution and approval state.</li>
<li>Keep authorization and sensitive writes behind application policy checks. Require evidence of the resulting state before marking work complete.</li>
<li>Build evaluation datasets and replay tests for valid findings, access decisions, app setup and AI agent onboarding.</li>
<li>Measure false positives, missed risks, unsafe actions, completion rate and cost. Turn production failures into regression tests.</li>
<li>Test prompt injection, stale evidence, conflicting instructions and unsafe tool use. Protect tenant boundaries in retrieval and memory.</li>
<li>Improve prompts, retrieval, tools and model routing. Evaluate fine-tuning or other post-training methods when results justify them and data use is approved.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What you will bring to the role</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Strong Python engineering skills and experience shipping an LLM application that uses tools.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience building agent workflows or evaluation systems for tool-using LLM applications. For harness work, relevant experience includes Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Codex SDK, Strands Agents, LangChain Deep Agents, LangGraph or a custom implementation.</li>
<li>Experience integrating model APIs, structured outputs and asynchronous services. Experience with OpenAI or Anthropic is especially relevant.</li>
<li>Depth in agent execution or evaluation systems, with working code and failure analysis you can explain.</li>
<li>Ability to distinguish a plausible model response from a supported finding or verified action.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Scope by level</strong></p>
<p>Senior: Own an agent capability or evaluation pipeline with measurable improvements.</p>
<p><strong>Our stack</strong></p>
<p>Our core stack is Python FastAPI, AWS Step Functions, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS and pgvector. OpenAI and Anthropic model APIs are part of the integration plan.</p>
<p>We plan to add an agent harness and a dedicated analytics layer using ClickHouse or BigQuery. The harness choice is open. Experience with equivalent tools also counts.</p>
<p><strong>And extra credit for</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Open-source contributions, agent observability, security evaluations or synthetic evaluation data.</li>
<li>Fine-tuning, preference data, post-training evaluation or model distillation using approved datasets.</li>
<li>Identity and security workflows. Foundation-model research experience is optional.</li>
