Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human

At Okta, we are building the future of secure, enterprise-grade cloud automation and system connectivity. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our global Automation Engineering team to design, scale, and govern our enterprise integration substrate using AWS cloud services and modern iPaaS platforms.

This is a senior individual contributor role for a hands-on system engineer who can set technical standards, establish integration best practices, and partner with cross-functional teams to automate complex business workflows at scale.

What You'll do :

• Lead technical design and execution for automation initiatives

  within the team, creating paved paths that enable builders across Okta to connect enterprise systems seamlessly.

• Design, build, and deploy high-throughput event-driven integration flows

  , API gateways, and async orchestration workflows using AWS architectures and iPaaS platforms.

• Build reusable frameworks

  , developer SDKs, self-service primitives, and integration templates to streamline automation delivery.

• Serve as a technical domain expert on AWS cloud services

  and modern iPaaS tooling, driving scalable architecture, reliability, and builder enablement.

• Partner with operations, security, and platform teams

  to strengthen monitoring, observability, structured audit logging, and automated governance.

• Mentor team members and participate in cross-functional design reviews

  , instilling a platform engineering mindset and raising the bar on code quality and DevEx.

• Collaborate with security, compliance, and business stakeholders

  to ensure self-service automations are secure, resilient, zero-trust aligned, and enterprise-ready.

• Maintain and enhance platform primitives

  and integration components to meet evolving enterprise and builder requirements.

What we are looking for :

• 5+ years of

  software engineering experience in Java and Python, focused on platform engineering, backend systems, distributed architectures, and enterprise integrations.

• 2+ years of

  hands-on experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js, TypeScript) to build intuitive developer portals, operator dashboards, and self-service interfaces.

• Deep expertise with

  AWS and event-driven architectures alongside enterprise iPaaS platforms (Zapier, n8n, etc).

• Strong knowledge of

  software engineering best practices: IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation), CI/CD release automation, API contract design (REST/GraphQL), and unit/integration testing standards.

• Experience in

  platform reliability, central logging, error recovery, operational observability, and self-service governance frameworks.

• Demonstrated success in

  building internal platform tools, self-service capabilities, or paved paths that empower and accelerate engineering teams across an enterprise.

• Hands-on experience with

  AI development and integrations, embedding LLM capabilities, agentic primitives, or intelligent features into cloud automations.

• Familiarity with

  AI-driven SDLC practices, leveraging AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate software delivery while maintaining safety and quality guardrails.
