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.\nAbout Okta Secures AI Team\nThe Okta for AI Agents Team is building the future of digital identity management. The way companies are using agents and allowing them access is undergoing a fundamental shift, enabling teams to move fast while staying secure. \nOur North Star is clear: To get AI right, you have to get identity right. We are not just managing identities; we are building the industry's first Identity Security Fabric for the agentic era. As organizations rapidly deploy AI, these non-human entities are acting with access to critical tools, often bypassing traditional perimeters and creating a 'Shadow AI' crisis. Our mission is to move identity from a reactive gatekeeper to a unified control plane, transforming AI risk into business ROI.\nWe are tackling this by implementing a comprehensive four-pillar maturity model: Discover, Onboard, Protect, and Govern. We are driving innovation by defining the standards for Agentic Identity-including pioneer work with securing AI Agents and support for protocols like MCP. You will be helping us build the infrastructure that allows enterprises to scale AI safely, ensuring every access decision-whether made by a human or an automated agent-is authenticated, authorized, and audited at scale.\nWe are a diverse team of engineers, product managers, and designers who are bringing Okta’s expertise in identity to define the future of Agent Identity management, focusing on enablement while staying secure.\nAbout the role\nWe’re looking for a staff frontend engineer on the Agent Access Policies sub-team. Operating under the larger Okta Secures AI, the Agent Access Policies team owns Agent Access Policies and enables least-privilege agentic access to enterprise resources, giving administrators per-agent control over which tools an agent may call and which employees it may act for.\nThis team works on policies that replace broad, connection-level agent access with per-agent, per-resource, per-tool policy decisions and enforcement evaluated at runtime on every request, including which employees a delegated agent is allowed to act for.\nYou will share our passion and great pride in elegant solutions and will join an engineering team that strongly believes in designing for scale, rigorous code reviews, automated testing, and an iterative process to build high-quality next-generation enterprise software. Identity is deeply important and providing a platform for customers to secure their resources is one of your passions.\nWhat you’ll be doing \nLead, design, architect and build high-quality scalable software by enforcing best practices around software engineering architecture and processes\nCollaborate with product owners, UX, and engineering teams to scope and plan engineering efforts and dependencies\nOwn your code at all stages of the lifecycle - design, implementation, test automation, delivery, and monitoring - to provide high-quality products to our customers.\nContribute to the design and implementation of new products and features while also working down our existing technical debt \nRaise the bar on engineering excellence by improving standard methodologies, producing best in class of code, documentation, testing, and monitoring\nConduct code reviews, retrospectives, and other continuous improvement activities\nCollaborate with QA, Technical Support, Documentation, and UX team\nBe a mentor for colleagues and help promote knowledge-sharing\nWhat you’ll bring to the role\n8+ years of software engineering experience building highly reliable, mission-critical software.\nExtensive knowledge of JavaScript language, along with experience building Express and ReactJS applications.\nExperience shipping robust services and user interfaces for production-grade applications in an agile, product-oriented environment.\nStrong experience with cross browser compatibility and optimization techniques\nStrong understanding of debugging scalable, high performance web applications built with reusability and componentization in mind\nExperience working with cloud systems at scale.\nUnderstanding of web security attacks and prevention.\nExcellent grasp of software development and testing principles.\nExcellent communication skills and strong product sense.\nAnd extra credit if you have experience in any of the following! \nExperience with identity, authorization, or IAM protocols (e.g., OAuth, OIDC, SAML) and contributing to a \"zero-to-one\" startup-like team.\nWork with agent frameworks, AI-facing APIs, or developer toolchains in the LLM space\nEducation:Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field\n(P25840_3552621)\nBelow is the annual salary range for candidates located in Canada.
