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 Product Architect Jobs at Okta Jobs
Frame your credentials around identity platform experience
Okta's Product Architect roles center on identity, authentication, and Zero Trust architecture. Before applying, document specific work with OAuth, SAML, SCIM, or enterprise SSO systems so your background maps directly to their core product domain.
Target roles labeled architect versus senior engineer
Okta differentiates Product Architect headcount from individual contributor engineering tracks. Applying to roles with architect in the title signals you're targeting the right sponsorship-eligible pipeline, not adjacent roles that may carry different sponsorship policies.
Align your degree field to specialty occupation requirements
USCIS evaluates H-1B eligibility by whether your degree field directly relates to the role. For Product Architect positions, degrees in computer science, software engineering, or information systems provide the cleanest alignment and reduce the risk of a Request for Evidence.
Start OPT paperwork early if you're on F-1 status
Okta's hiring process for senior technical roles typically runs eight to twelve weeks. If you're on F-1, confirm your OPT start date gives your DSO enough processing lead time before submitting applications, since USCIS recommends filing at least ninety days before your program end date.
Clarify sponsorship scope during the offer stage
Ask specifically whether Okta will sponsor both the initial H-1B and future Green Card sponsorship under EB-2 or EB-3 PERM. Some companies sponsor work visas but delay permanent residence filings for architect-level roles, which affects your long-term planning significantly.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Product Architect roles
Okta posts Product Architect openings across multiple locations and teams at different times. Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsorship-eligible roles at Okta specifically, so you're applying to positions where international candidates are actively being considered.

Find Product Architect at Okta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Okta sponsor H-1B visas for Product Architects?
Yes, Okta sponsors H-1B visas for Product Architect roles. Okta participates in the annual H-1B lottery each April and has a consistent record of sponsoring technical talent in this function. If you're on F-1 OPT, Okta can also serve as your cap-gap employer while your H-1B petition is pending, provided you receive a timely filing receipt from USCIS.
Which visa types does Okta commonly use for Product Architect roles?
Okta sponsors H-1B visas for most international Product Architect hires, along with F-1 OPT and CPT for candidates still completing or recently graduating from U.S. degree programs. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify for TN status if their degree and role description align with USCIS and DOL specialty occupation guidelines. For long-term permanent residence, Okta supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does Okta expect for Product Architect roles?
Okta typically looks for deep experience with identity and access management platforms, cloud-native architecture, and enterprise security protocols including OAuth 2.0, SAML, and SCIM. A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field is generally expected. Prior experience building or architecting SaaS products at enterprise scale is a strong differentiator, particularly if it involves integrating with identity providers or zero-trust security frameworks.
How do I apply for Product Architect jobs at Okta?
You can apply directly through Okta's careers site or find verified sponsorship-eligible openings through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa type and company. Before applying, confirm your target role is explicitly an architect-level position, since Okta differentiates these from senior engineering tracks in terms of scope and sponsorship pathways. Tailoring your application to highlight identity platform expertise and enterprise integration experience significantly improves your chances of moving through Okta's technical screening process.
How do I time my H-1B sponsorship process when targeting Okta?
H-1B cap petitions can only be filed starting April 1 each year for an October 1 start date, so your offer and registration need to align with that window. If Okta extends an offer outside that window, you may need to start on F-1 OPT or another status and transition to H-1B in the next lottery cycle. Build at least three to four months of buffer between your expected start date and your current visa expiration to account for USCIS processing and any potential delays.
