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.
At Okta, we’re building the future of secure, enterprise-grade AI. We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help design and scale our Agentic AI Platform — the foundation that enables enterprise teams to build, deploy, and manage intelligent AI agents securely and at scale.
As part of a global AI engineering team spanning the US and India, you’ll work closely with software engineers, product managers, and designers to build secure, intelligent tools for employees across Okta.
What you will do:
- Design and develop platform services for AI agents, including orchestration, lifecycle management, observability, and guardrails.
- Collaborate daily with US counterparts to align on architecture, share roadmaps, and ensure global consistency.
- Build scalable APIs, frameworks, and reusable components that enable teams to rapidly create and deploy secure AI agents.
- Contribute to monitoring, evaluation, and governance features that make AI adoption safe, reliable, and enterprise-ready.
- Partner with Applied AI engineers, product managers, and designers to ensure the platform supports real-world use cases.
- Stay current with advances in agentic AI, orchestration frameworks, and enterprise AI infrastructure.
What we are looking for :
- 5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in AI/ML platforms or intelligent automation.
- 3+ years in Python preferred, Java, Node.js, or Go.
- 2+ years with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, Angular), principles of accessibility (a11y), and an ability to collaborate effectively with Product & Design.
- Expertise in AI agent frameworks (LangGraph preferred), orchestration systems, vector databases, RAG pipelines, and monitoring/observability.
- Strong background in distributed systems, APIs, microservices, container orchestration (ECS/EKS), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Experience building secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure for AI or ML workloads.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across time zones and global teams.
Why join us:
At Okta, you’ll play a critical role in building the platform foundations that power enterprise AI. Your work will directly enable applied AI solutions that impact thousands of employees and customers, while ensuring AI adoption is smarter, faster, and always secure. As part of a global engineering team, you’ll collaborate seamlessly with peers in the US and India, making an impact at scale.
