Staff Software Engineer @ Okta

Get to know Okta

Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology—anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth.

At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.

Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

The Dashboard Core Services team was established to help us streamline and bring consistency to how we build dashboards backends for Okta Customer Identity Cloud (CIC). Today there are several dashboard backends built in isolation and we aim to standardize our architecture and provide a robust set of building blocks to help enhance the internal and external developer experience.

In addition to providing guidance and building blocks, the team is responsible for development and stewardship of our main, customer facing dashboard.
