About the role
Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human
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.
This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.
The Identity Security Pillar
Our Identity Security organization keeps Okta customers safe by detecting, preventing, and responding to identity-based attacks in real time, at the scale of the world's largest Identity Cloud. We have multiple open positions across teams that own:
- Identity Threat Protection (ITP) and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), including the integration of Permiso's non-human identity and cloud entitlement risk detection into Okta's threat detection stack
- Essential Security, the core threat detection and protection capabilities every Okta customer relies on, including Threat Insight, the Orbit detection engine, enriched proxy/anonymizer intelligence, breached-credential detection (SpyCloud), Attack Protection, and Adaptive OIE
You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers who care deeply about shipping high-quality, resilient detection systems that hold up under real-world attack traffic and that customers can trust to keep their organizations safe.
Senior Software Engineer in Test - Identity Security (Multiple Positions)
We seek experienced Senior Software Engineers in Test to join our Identity Security engineering teams. You'll own test strategy and automation for real-time detection pipelines, risk signal correlation, and third-party integrations, and ensure new capabilities ship with zero-debt quality across every new cell and platform upgrade. Team placement will be based on experience and business needs.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
- Review requirements and design specs to develop test plans and test cases for detection, protection, and posture management features
- Own end-to-end test coverage for complex signal and product integrations, including data ingestion, risk signal correlation, and detection pipelines (e.g., ITP-Permiso integration)
- Automate API, end-to-end, and reliability/scale tests for real-time detection pipelines (Kafka → KDA → DynamoDB & BigTable)
