Secure 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 AI Acceleration Team builds AI features right where identity and agents meet. Companies are handing real access to AI agents faster than their controls can keep up, and two problems show up first: how do you authorize what an agent is allowed to do on someone's behalf, and how do you keep both people and agents from being phished? We take those on directly.
Our North Star: to get AI right, you have to get identity right. We are a new team, and we shape the problems as much as we solve them. We bring a product mindset to the work: we dig into what customers actually need, define the outcome, and build toward it. We move fast, stay close to the real problem, and are honest about what works.
As a Staff FullStack Engineer on the AI Acceleration Team, you will own the technical build for solving agent authorization and phishing resistance. You see what needs doing and start it. This is 0-to-1 work, meaning you will move on problems before they are fully specified, always keeping customer success as the ultimate bar.
You will help shape which problems we take on, make architectural calls that outlive any single project, and set the technical bar for how we work. You will enforce least privilege for what agents can do and make phishing-resistant access the default. We build with Vercel and AWS, and you will likely work heavily in JavaScript/TypeScript and Java.
