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.
Software Architect, Identity
The Engineering Architect Team
The Architecture team is a small group of very senior engineers reporting to our VP of Engineering Excellence, working broadly across the organization in collaboration with Engineering, Product, and Security. We partner deeply with other Engineering teams for large projects, and provide direction and architectural guidance for smaller initiatives. We have a dual-pronged charter to "level up the tech stack and level up the people stack" via both technical contributions and partnerships/mentoring.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to significantly contribute to Auth0's future technology direction. Through your experience, knowledge of industry trends, and technical abilities you will provide guidance, build proof of concepts, and deliver production software implementations that help Auth0 Engineering teams move faster by using and developing standard patterns and technologies. You will also help advance the engineering culture and help uplevel other engineers. Note that while this role involves a lot of guidance, documentation, and leadership, it also requires substantial hands-on coding and development of both applications and systems.
What you'll be doing
- You will collaborate with Product, Security, and Engineering teams to define and continually improve Auth0's technology stack and architecture.
- Foster and lead innovation in the IAM space, with a strong focus on Agentic Identity.
- Lead initiatives to enhance, scale, and evolve Auth0's product offerings.
- Embed within Engineering teams across the organization for large projects, while providing guidance and lighter touch engagements for smaller initiatives.
- Design, architect, and document large scale distributed systems.
- Lead the development of complex, broadly-scoped functionality in a very large and deep set of services and components.
- Teach by doing: coding, optimizing, and troubleshooting Node.js and Go applications in collaboration with feature development teams.
- Implement features and create consistent foundations using technologies such as AWS, Azure, Node.js, Go, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes.
- Investigate, understand, and resolve bottlenecks in our ability to scale, use resources efficiently, and maintain a 99.99% uptime SLA.
- Drive technical decision making while striving to find the right balance between factors such as simplicity, flexibility, reliability, cost, and performance.
- Participate in "round table" discussions and mentor team members and engineers throughout the organization to level up our people.
- Participate in our Engineering Leadership Team with other architects, directors, and executives.
- You will join our Incident Commander on-call rotation. Members of our team do periodic on-call rotation for high-severity incidents to help up-level our responses after spending time getting acquainted with our applications, systems, and processes, and getting training.
What you'll bring to the role
- 10+ years of software development experience.
- 5+ years of experience working on cloud applications.
- Experience with API-first applications using REST and/or gRPC.
- Passion and thorough understanding of what it takes to build and operate secure, reliable systems at scale.
- Knowledge of Identity Protocols such as OAuth, OIDC and SAML.
- Industry knowledge of the Authorization and Authentication spaces.
- Experience in building AI Agents, and/or MCP servers applications.
- Experience with security engineering and application security.
- Very strong written and verbal communication skills with a demonstrated ability to adjust your communication style to the intended audience, whether communicating with senior executives, customers, engineers, or product managers.
- Mastery and deep understanding of hands-on software development building distributed systems.
- Experience with multi-cloud environments and container deployments, particularly Kubernetes in AWS/Azure.
- Prior experience with application performance management, tracing, and performance testing tools.
- Excellence at creating clarity and alignment for technical initiatives.
- Great ability to build trust through collaboration with multiple teams and get consensus on a vision.
- Knowledge of application security and cloud security best practices.
And extra credit if you have experience in any of the following!
- Deep experience in Node.js (Javascript or Typescript), or Golang.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Architect Jobs at Okta Jobs
Align your credentials to identity architecture
Okta's Architect roles typically require demonstrated expertise in identity and access management, zero trust frameworks, or enterprise SSO integrations. Certifications like Okta Certified Architect or equivalent cloud identity credentials will make your application materially stronger before you apply.
Target roles flagged for specialty occupation
Okta files H-1B petitions under specialty occupation, so roles requiring a degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field are your strongest fit. Solution Architect and Technical Architect postings that specify degree requirements in the job description are your clearest signal.
Clarify your visa type before the offer stage
Okta sponsors multiple visa types for Architect roles. If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm whether the role qualifies for STEM OPT extension before accepting, since Okta must be E-Verify enrolled, which it is, giving you a full 24-month extension period to plan your H-1B filing.
Time your application around the H-1B cap cycle
H-1B registration opens in March each year. If you're interviewing at Okta in late 2025 or early 2026, structure your offer and start date conversations around USCIS's April 1 filing window so your employer has the lead time to prepare your petition properly.
Use Migrate Mate to surface Okta Architect openings
Architect roles at Okta are posted across locations and teams and can disappear quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter Okta's sponsoring positions by role type so you're tracking live openings without manually sifting through listings that don't support your visa situation.
Prepare for PERM if you want permanent residency
Okta supports EB-2 and EB-3 green card pathways for Architect roles, which require DOL PERM labor certification. Raise your long-term immigration intent during the offer negotiation stage so both parties can align on timing, since PERM can take 18 months or more from initiation to approval.

Find Architect at Okta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Okta sponsor H-1B visas for Architects?
Yes, Okta sponsors H-1B visas for Architect roles. These positions typically qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS criteria because they require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science or information systems. Okta participates in the annual H-1B cap registration process, so candidates should plan their interview and offer timelines around the March registration window.
Which visa types does Okta commonly sponsor for Architect roles?
Okta sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT for Architect positions, and also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways for longer-term employees. TN visas are available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying technical occupations. F-1 candidates should confirm STEM OPT eligibility for their specific role since Okta is E-Verify enrolled, which is a USCIS requirement for the 24-month STEM extension.
What qualifications does Okta expect for Architect roles?
Okta's Architect roles generally require several years of hands-on experience in enterprise identity, cloud platforms, or security architecture, along with a relevant technical degree. Familiarity with Okta's own product suite, including Workforce Identity and Customer Identity, is a practical advantage. For senior-level positions, experience leading architecture design across large-scale enterprise environments or regulated industries significantly strengthens your candidacy.
How do I apply for Architect jobs at Okta?
You can find and apply for Architect roles at Okta by browsing Migrate Mate, which filters Okta's open positions by visa sponsorship eligibility so you're only seeing roles relevant to your situation. When applying, tailor your resume to reflect identity and access management experience, and be explicit about your visa status early in the recruiter screening so Okta's immigration team can assess the pathway before an offer is extended.
How do I plan my timeline if Okta sponsors my H-1B as an Architect?
If you're starting on F-1 OPT, your H-1B must be filed during the annual cap season with USCIS, with a start date of October 1 at the earliest. That means your offer should ideally be in place before March registration. If you miss the cap, your OPT grace period is 60 days, so coordinating offer timing carefully with Okta's HR and immigration counsel avoids gaps in your work authorization.
