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 Technician Jobs at Okta Jobs
Align Your Credentials to Okta's Stack
Okta's Engineering Technician roles emphasize hands-on experience with identity platforms, cloud infrastructure, and hardware lab environments. Tailor your resume to highlight any work with SSO, LDAP, or zero-trust architecture before you apply.
Confirm OPT STEM Extension Eligibility Early
Engineering Technician roles at a technology company like Okta often qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. Verify your degree's CIP code against the STEM designated degree program list before your initial OPT authorization expires.
Target Okta's Technical Operations Teams Directly
Okta structures Engineering Technician hiring across lab ops, identity infrastructure, and product support functions. Searching by team rather than just job title surfaces relevant openings that may not appear under a single standardized posting.
Understand the H-1B Timeline Before Accepting an Offer
If you need H-1B sponsorship, USCIS's cap registration opens in March for an October 1 start date. Confirm with your Okta recruiter whether the role qualifies as a specialty occupation and when they plan to file.
Prepare Documentation for a PERM-Backed Green Card Path
Okta sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards for qualifying technical staff. Gather performance reviews, degree transcripts, and employment verification records early, since DOL's PERM audit process requires detailed documentation of your qualifications and job duties.
Use Migrate Mate to Filter Okta's Open Roles
Browsing Engineering Technician openings at visa-sponsoring technology companies is faster when you can filter by sponsorship type. Use Migrate Mate to identify active Okta postings that match your visa category and prioritize outreach accordingly.

Find Engineering Technician at Okta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Okta sponsor H-1B visas for Engineering Technicians?
Yes, Okta sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering Technician roles that meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard, which requires a direct relationship between the position's duties and a specific bachelor's degree field. If you're in this role and your degree aligns with the technical requirements, Okta has a demonstrated pattern of supporting H-1B filings for engineering and technical operations staff.

You can also use Migrate Mate to browse current Engineering Technician openings at Okta filtered by your visa type, which helps you prioritize roles where sponsorship is already confirmed before you invest time in the application process.
Which visa types does Okta commonly sponsor for Engineering Technician roles?
Okta sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT for Engineering Technician positions, along with EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant visa categories for longer-term Green Card pathways. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals whose engineering or technical roles fall within the USMCA qualifying occupation list. F-1 students on OPT should confirm STEM extension eligibility based on their degree's CIP code.
What qualifications does Okta expect for Engineering Technician candidates needing sponsorship?
Okta's Engineering Technician roles typically require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or a closely related field, along with practical experience in technical lab environments, hardware troubleshooting, or identity platform operations. For H-1B purposes, the degree-to-role alignment matters significantly, so documenting how your coursework maps to your specific job duties strengthens the petition considerably.
How do I plan my timeline if I need Okta to sponsor my visa for an Engineering Technician role?
If you need an H-1B, USCIS's cap registration opens each March for an October 1 start date, so coordinate your offer and onboarding timeline with Okta's HR team well in advance. For TN or OPT transfers, transitions can happen faster, sometimes within weeks. For Green Card sponsorship through PERM, the DOL process typically takes one to two years before USCIS adjudicates the immigrant petition.
