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 Technical Architect Jobs at Okta Jobs
Align your credentials to IAM specialization
Okta's Technical Architect roles require demonstrable expertise in identity and access management, not just general solutions architecture. Frame your resume around OAuth, SAML, SCIM, and Zero Trust implementations before you apply.
Target Okta's enterprise segment openings
Okta typically hires Technical Architects to support large enterprise and public sector clients. Openings tied to named account teams or vertical-specific practices are more likely to come with dedicated sponsorship budget and faster internal approvals.
Clarify your visa category with the recruiter early
Okta sponsors multiple visa categories for this role. Ask the recruiter explicitly which categories their current immigration counsel supports for Technical Architects, since H-1B cap timing and TN eligibility requirements differ significantly in process and timeline.
Build a specialty occupation case for your degree
USCIS scrutinizes H-1B petitions for architect roles that blend technical and strategic work. Document that your position requires a specific bachelor's degree field, not just any technical degree, to strengthen the specialty occupation argument your employer's attorney will make.
Start your job search on Migrate Mate
Filtering for Technical Architect roles at companies with active sponsorship history saves weeks of guesswork. Use Migrate Mate to identify Okta openings alongside verified sponsorship data so you apply where your visa type is already supported.
Sequence your F-1 OPT application before your start date
If you're transitioning from F-1 status, your OPT Employment Authorization Document must be approved and your start date must fall within your authorized employment window. USCIS recommends filing at least 90 days before your intended start date to avoid gaps.

Find Technical Architect at Okta JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Okta sponsor H-1B visas for Technical Architects?
Yes, Okta sponsors H-1B visas for Technical Architect roles. Because the position qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS guidelines, H-1B is one of the primary pathways used. If you're subject to the annual cap, timing your application around the April lottery cycle is essential. Cap-exempt candidates, such as those transferring from a qualifying institution, may have more flexibility.
Which visa types does Okta commonly sponsor for Technical Architect roles?
Okta sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and employment-based Green Card categories including EB-2 and EB-3 for Technical Architect positions. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying occupations. F-1 OPT and CPT are typically stepping stones before transitioning to H-1B. Green Card sponsorship through PERM labor certification usually begins after you've established yourself in the role.
What qualifications and experience does Okta expect for Technical Architect roles?
Okta's Technical Architect positions typically require several years of hands-on experience with identity platforms, enterprise integration, and customer-facing solution design. Familiarity with Okta's own product suite is a strong differentiator. Most postings expect experience with SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and API-based integrations. A relevant bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field is standard, and certifications in cloud or identity platforms strengthen your profile.
How do I apply for Technical Architect jobs at Okta?
Browse current Technical Architect openings at Okta through Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles alongside sponsorship data so you can verify your visa type is supported before applying. When you apply directly, tailor your application to highlight IAM-specific experience and client-facing architecture work. During screening, confirm visa sponsorship with the recruiter and ask about their immigration counsel's timeline for your specific category.
How do I plan my timeline if Okta is filing an H-1B petition on my behalf?
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be filed in April for an October 1 start date. Work backward from there: your offer should be confirmed by February or March, giving your employer's attorney time to prepare the Labor Condition Application with DOL and complete the I-129 petition. If you're already in H-1B status and transferring, Okta can file a portability petition without waiting for the new cap cycle.
