Get Access To All JobsSecure 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.
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 Engineering Jobs at Okta Jobs
Align your degree to Okta's stack
H-1B eligibility requires your degree to directly relate to the role. Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Information Systems degrees map cleanly to Okta's backend and identity platform roles, which consistently require specialized technical knowledge.
Target roles tied to core products
Okta's identity and access management platform drives the most sustained engineering hiring. Roles tied to authentication protocols, SCIM integrations, or cloud infrastructure have historically seen the most consistent headcount growth and sponsorship activity.
Use Migrate Mate to filter sponsorship-confirmed openings
Not every Engineering job listing at Okta signals sponsorship willingness upfront. Use Migrate Mate to browse roles where Okta's sponsorship history for your visa type is already verified, saving you time before you apply.
Clarify your OPT timeline before the interview stage
If you're on F-1 OPT, calculate your STEM extension window before your first interview. Okta typically runs multi-round technical interviews, so knowing exactly how many months remain helps you frame timing expectations without creating friction in the offer process.
Confirm LCA scope before signing an offer
Okta operates in multiple states with engineering hubs in San Francisco and remote configurations. The Labor Condition Application DOL certifies is tied to a specific worksite, so verify that the LCA covers your work location before the offer is finalized.
Prepare documentation for PERM early if targeting Green Card
For EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, PERM requires Okta to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available. Keeping a detailed record of your specialized skills and any unique qualifications strengthens your profile when the PERM recruitment process begins.

Find Engineering at Okta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Okta sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, Okta sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering roles. The company has an active pattern of filing H-1B petitions for technical positions, particularly in software engineering, platform development, and security engineering. If you're currently on H-1B with another employer, Okta can file an H-1B transfer without waiting for the annual lottery, provided a petition is filed before your current status expires.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at Okta?
Apply directly through Okta's careers site, filtering for Engineering roles by team or location. Most engineering positions require a technical screening followed by system design and coding interviews. Candidates seeking visa sponsorship should flag their status early in the recruiter screen so Okta's immigration team can confirm eligibility for the specific role and worksite before advancing in the process.
Which visa types does Okta commonly sponsor for Engineering roles?
Okta sponsors H-1B, TN (for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles), and supports F-1 OPT and CPT for students earlier in their careers. For longer-term pathways, Okta also sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card petitions for Engineering positions through the PERM labor certification process, typically after a candidate has established tenure in the role.
What qualifications does Okta look for in sponsored Engineering candidates?
Okta engineering roles generally require a bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field, which also satisfies the H-1B specialty occupation requirement. Hands-on experience with distributed systems, APIs, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), or identity protocols like OAuth and SAML strengthens a candidacy considerably, particularly for roles within Okta's core platform and security teams.
How do I find Engineering jobs at Okta that offer visa sponsorship?
Okta's job listings don't always specify sponsorship eligibility by visa type upfront. Migrate Mate aggregates Engineering openings at Okta and filters them by visa category, so you can see which roles align with your H-1B, OPT, or TN status before applying. This avoids investing time in a process only to find out late that sponsorship isn't available for your specific situation.
