Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era.

If you are too, let's talk.\nThe Staff Product Security Engineer Opportunity\nAs a Staff Product Security Engineer, you will play a critical role in safeguarding Okta’s products by conducting comprehensive security reviews, guiding engineering teams in secure development practices, and handling externally reported vulnerabilities. You will engage in code reviews, penetration testing, and architectural security assessments to ensure the security of Okta’s platforms and features.\nThis role is not suited for individuals who rely solely on automated vulnerability scanning. Instead, you must possess a deep technical understanding of web applications, backend services, penetration testing methodologies, and secure design principles.\nA successful candidate will have expertise in authentication protocols (SAML, OAuth, OIDC), threat modeling, and a strong desire to automate security processes by building tools that proactively identify vulnerabilities. You will also be responsible for communicating risks, impact, and remediation strategies to developers, leadership, and external audiences through documentation, presentations, and external publications. The ideal candidate will also demonstrate a deep technical background in assessing AI-integrated software architectures and securing Large Language Models (LLMs) against emerging threats and modern vulnerability classes.\nThe ideal candidate will have an attacker mindset-the ability to think critically, creatively, and like an adversary when solving security challenges. We actively support public disclosure of research and findings through white papers, blog posts, and conference presentations.\nWhat You Will Do\nConduct security reviews, including design reviews, threat modeling, and penetration testing of new features and major changes.\nPerform manual secure code reviews across multiple programming languages.\nIdentify and mitigate security vulnerabilities, providing clear guidance to engineering teams.\nLead product security incidents, assess risks, and drive remediation efforts.\nDevelop security tools and automation to improve vulnerability detection and assessment.\nMentor junior engineers and provide guidance to non-security staff on secure development practices.\nRepresent Okta externally through security research, conference talks, and publications.\nWhat You Bring\nExpertise in identifying OWASP Top 10 / CWE Top 25 vulnerabilities through manual code review.\nStrong experience in penetration testing and secure development practices.\nDeep technical background in assessing Large Language Models (LLMs) and securing AI-integrated software architectures.\nProficiency in multiple programming languages (e.g., Java, Go, Python, C/C++).\nDeep understanding of authentication & authorization protocols (OIDC, SAML, OAuth).\nStrong communication skills to explain risks and remediation to developers and leadership.\nAbility to automate security testing using LLMs and scripting (Python, Bash, etc.).\nExperience leading security incidents and risk assessments.\nDesired Skills and Abilities\nExperience in mobile (iOS/Android) and desktop (Windows/macOS) security testing.\nFamiliarity with SAST, DAST, SCA, and fuzzing tools.\nStrong cryptographic knowledge and secure implementation practices.\nExperience analyzing network protocols and traffic security.\nAbility to develop proof-of-concept exploits to demonstrate vulnerabilities.\nP25768_3530395\nBelow is the annual salary range for candidates located in Canada.
