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.\nThis is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.\nThe TDI Client Platform Engineering Team\nThe Technology, Data, and Insights (TDI) team is on a mission to accelerate Okta’s scale. We are a group of innovative engineers who prioritize automation, testing, and performance tuning. We touch every part of the business, and we are obsessed with creating a seamless, secure end-user experience for every Okta employee.\nThe Staff Client Platform Engineer Opportunity\nAs a Staff Client Platform Engineer, you will be the subject matter expert for Okta’s macOS and iOS fleet. While your primary focus is the Apple ecosystem, you will also play a key role in our broader endpoint strategy, contributing to our Windows, Android, Linux, and VDI management workflows as needed. This is an ideal path for an engineer who wants to maintain deep Apple expertise while expanding their influence across the entire OS landscape.\nWe are looking for a versatile engineer who thinks automation-first. You will combine Jamf Pro expertise with open-source tools like Munki and Santa, while helping to bridge the gap between platforms using unified tools like FleetDM.\nWhat makes this role unique: You are Customer Zero. Because we build identity and device management products, you will work directly with Okta’s own Product and Engineering teams to validate new capabilities across platforms, surface real-world feedback, and help shape the roadmap for tools used by millions of people globally.\nThis role reports to the Senior Manager of Client Platform Engineering.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nApple Fleet Management: Own the global macOS and iOS fleet using Jamf Pro, overseeing enrollment, configuration profiles, and application deployment.\n Cross-Platform Support: Contribute to the management and security of Windows (via Intune/Autopilot) and Linux endpoints as the program evolves, ensuring a consistent security posture across all OS types.\n Tooling & Evolution: Administer open-source tools (Munki, Santa) and lead evaluations of emerging platforms like FleetDM to enhance cross-platform fleet visibility.\nSecurity & Compliance: Ensure endpoints meet NIST, CIS, and STIG standards. Partner with Security teams to respond to vulnerabilities across the entire fleet.\n Engineering & Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Apply an IaC mindset to device management using code-based workflows (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, or Jamf API). Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure repeatable, scalable, and automated deployments regardless of the OS.\nTechnical Direction: Set the architecture and technical direction for a domain, such as Apple platform, endpoint security tooling or devices-as-code, and write design or docs that formalize it.\nCustomer Zero Advocacy: Act as a primary feedback loop for Okta’s internal product teams. Test new features in production and influence the product roadmap based on operational data.\nOperational Excellence: Provide Tier 3 escalation support for global IT teams and participate in an on-call rotation.\nWhat You’ll Bring\nCore Experience: 8+ years in endpoint engineering with a focus on Apple platforms at enterprise scale.\nTechnical Versatility: A strong understanding of Windows and Linux operating systems; you aren't just a \"Mac person\", you understand how to apply engineering principles to any OS.\nMDM Mastery: Deep expertise in managing endpoints at scale via MDM, such as Jamf Pro. Familiarity with Microsoft Intune, FleetDM or other cross-platform MDM/UEM solutions is a significant plus.\n Scripting: Proficiency in Bash, Python, Go, or Swift (PowerShell experience is a bonus).\nTooling: Experience with Git, GitHub Actions, Terraform, or similar CI/CD frameworks.\n Security: Understanding of ADE/DEP, MDM/DDM protocols, and platform-specific hardening (e.g., BitLocker, FileVault, LUKS).\nIdentity Knowledge: Familiarity with SAML and OIDC and how they integrate with endpoint authentication.\nAdditional requirements:\nThis position requires the ability to access federal environments and/or have access to protected federal data. As a condition of employment for this position, the successful candidate must be able to submit documentation establishing U.S. Person status (e.g. a U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refugee, or Asylee. 22 CFR 120.15) upon hire.\nExtra Credit\nHands-on experience with FleetDM or osquery for multi-OS visibility.\nExperience with Autopkg pipelines or AWS Lambda for endpoint automation.\nBackground in Federal compliance (FedRAMP).\nRelevant certifications (Apple, Okta, Microsoft, AWS, Jamf).\nLocation & Work Style\nThis is a hybrid role. Candidates must be located near an Okta office. In the San Francisco Bay Area, employees are expected to be in-office a minimum of 2 days per week.\nBelow is the annual base salary range for candidates located in San Francisco Bay Area.
