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.
The Opportunity
The "Agentic World" isn't just coming; it's here. As AI agents begin to move from simple chatbots to autonomous entities that take actions on our behalf, the concept of "Identity" is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades.
At Okta and Auth0, we aren't just watching this happen—we're leading it. This is a rare "Day 1" opportunity to join the world's identity leader at the exact moment we redefine how humans and intelligent agents coexist securely. If you want to be at the epicenter of AI, security, and ecosystem building, there is no better place to be.
The Role
In this Individual Contributor (IC) role, you will define how partnerships can accelerate our platform's reach. You won't just be drafting plans—you'll be working closely with internal teams and external partners to turn those plans into reality.
You'll stay ahead of the curve by identifying emerging architectural patterns and customer needs. From influencing our product roadmap to representing Okta in conversations about Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) architectures, you will be a key technical leader helping us turn cutting-edge innovation into practical, real-world solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Spot the Next Big Thing: Identify and prioritize partnership opportunities that bring long-term value to Okta's identity and AI strategy.
- Lead the Way: Drive partnerships from start to finish—taking them from initial discovery and technical design all the way to a successful launch.
- Be a Technical Guide: Act as a trusted advisor for our partners, ensuring integrations are secure, scalable, and meet enterprise standards.
- Get Creative: Use your technical skills to build demos, labs, and documentation that showcase the power of our partnerships to the world.
- Collaborate Internally: Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure our roadmap reflects the needs of the evolving ecosystem.
- Represent the Brand: Speak with authority and credibility at industry events and in front of customers, helping shape the future of identity standards.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in technical roles (Identity, Security, Cloud, or AI) with a track record of balancing strategy with getting things done.
- Proven success in Sales Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Developer Relations, or a similar partner-facing technical role.
- Deep technical knowledge of IAM, security architectures, and APIs. If you're familiar with agentic AI architectures, that's a huge plus.
- You enjoy creating hands-on assets like reference architectures, integrations, and technical blogs.
- You can translate complex technical concepts into a story that resonates with everyone, from engineers to executives.
- Proven strength in negotiation, relationship-building, and stakeholder management across partners, customers, and internal teams.
- You're self-motivated, highly organized, and comfortable taking the lead in fast-moving, high-growth environments.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Solutions Architect Jobs at Okta Jobs
Frame your identity experience around zero-trust
Okta's Solutions Architect interviews heavily test your fluency with zero-trust architecture and IAM concepts. Before applying, build out examples from your background that map directly to workforce identity, customer identity, or privileged access scenarios.
Start your OPT extension paperwork early
If you're on F-1 OPT, file your STEM extension request with your DSO at least 90 days before your EAD expires. Okta's hiring process for Solutions Architects can span eight to twelve weeks, so overlapping timelines create real authorization risk.
Target Okta roles tied to a named industry vertical
Okta structures many Solutions Architect openings around verticals like financial services, healthcare, or public sector. Applying to a vertical-specific role signals domain depth and narrows your competition pool compared to general SA postings.
Confirm H-1B sponsorship willingness before final rounds
Ask the recruiter directly whether the specific Solutions Architect opening is approved for H-1B sponsorship before your onsite or technical presentation stage. Okta sponsors broadly, but individual headcount approvals can vary by team and fiscal quarter.
Understand how PERM timing affects your green card path
Okta files EB-2 and EB-3 PERM labor certifications for Solutions Architects, but DOL processing currently runs over a year. If your priority date or country of birth creates a backlog, negotiate a start timeline that keeps your H-1B status valid throughout.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Solutions Architect roles
Filter by visa type and company on Migrate Mate to surface active Solutions Architect postings at Okta that align with your sponsorship needs. This saves time you'd otherwise spend manually cross-referencing job boards with sponsorship history.

Find Solutions Architect at Okta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Okta sponsor H-1B visas for Solutions Architects?
Yes, Okta sponsors H-1B visas for Solutions Architect roles. The company has a consistent track record of filing H-1B petitions for technical pre-sales and post-sales positions. If you're in the H-1B cap lottery or need a transfer from a current employer, confirm with the recruiter early that the specific role you're interviewing for has sponsorship approved.
How do I apply for Solutions Architect jobs at Okta?
You can apply directly through Okta's careers portal or find verified open roles filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate. Okta's Solutions Architect hiring process typically includes a recruiter screen, a technical discovery call, and a customer-scenario presentation. Tailoring your application to a specific vertical, such as financial services or healthcare, improves your chances of moving past the initial screen.
Which visa types does Okta commonly use for Solutions Architect roles?
Okta sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT for Solutions Architects at the nonimmigrant level. For permanent residency, the company files PERM-based EB-2 and EB-3 petitions. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals whose role qualifies as a systems analyst or engineer under the USMCA occupation list. OPT candidates should ensure the role qualifies for STEM extension if they hold a degree in a STEM field.
What qualifications and experience does Okta expect for Solutions Architects?
Okta typically looks for a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field, plus hands-on experience with identity protocols such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. Customer-facing or pre-sales experience in a SaaS environment is a strong differentiator. Candidates targeting senior-level openings are expected to demonstrate experience designing enterprise IAM architectures and leading technical evaluations with Fortune 500 or public sector clients.
How do I manage visa timing during Okta's hiring process?
Okta's Solutions Architect interview cycles can run two to three months from first contact to offer. If you're on a time-sensitive status, communicate your authorization end date to the recruiter at the start of the process. For H-1B transfers, your new petition must be filed before your current status expires to maintain continuous work authorization under USCIS portability rules. For OPT, apply with enough runway to complete the process before your EAD expires.
