Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure
We are looking for a seasoned Senior Software Engineer with strong leadership potential to join our Cloud Tooling and Pipelines team. This team plays a pivotal role in our engineering operations organization, responsible for the strategy, development, and operation of our core Continuous Delivery (CD) platform ( Spinnaker, some custom tools and Argo Suite in the future ) and a comprehensive set of tools and microservices. These systems are essential for managing our extensive resource footprint across AWS ECS and EKS.

As a Senior Engineer, you'll be a key technical leader, driving the architectural direction and implementation of scalable and reliable tooling for automating critical processes. This includes enhancing our capabilities in infrastructure changes, vulnerability remediation, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) deployments. Your expertise will be vital in mentoring other engineers and influencing the team's technical roadmap. If you possess a deep understanding of cloud infrastructure automation and are driven to solve complex challenges at scale, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do:

Shape the Technical Roadmap of the CD Platform: Be a core technical contributor and leader in defining the strategic direction for Okta's Continuous Delivery (CD) platform (including Spinnaker) and its future evolution.
Architect and Design Scalable Deployment Pipelines: Lead the design and architecture of robust CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) executions, and code deployment workflows built on the underlying platform.
Design and Implement Critical Infrastructure Tooling: Architect, build, maintain, and deploy sophisticated tools that enable Okta's engineers to execute infrastructure production changes and deploy code with high reliability and efficiency.
Develop High-Quality Microservices: Design and build scalable and reliable microservices (potentially in Java, Python, or Go) with a strong focus on automation and operational excellence.
Collaborate on Cross-Functional Solutions: Partner with Operations and Product teams to proactively identify bottlenecks and manual processes, and contribute significantly to the design and implementation of scalable and reliable solutions.
Introduce and Evangelize Industry Best Practices: Research and advocate for the adoption of industry best practices in infrastructure, automation, and orchestration to drive innovation and future infrastructure improvements.
Embed Security into Development Practices: Apply and promote security best practices in the development of microservices and tooling to ensure a secure infrastructure stack.
Identify and Drive Self-Service Automation: Proactively identify opportunities for automation that can be self-serviced by engineering teams, contributing to reduced manual effort and improved onboarding experiences.

You are an ideal candidate if you have:

4+ years of Software Development in Java, Go, Python or similar backend languages
3+ years of development experience building services, internal tools and frameworks
2+ years experience automating and deploying large scale production services in AWS, GCP or similar
Working knowledge of Kubernetes, ECS, Istio, Spinnaker
Working knowledge of database technologies ( Mysql, MongoDB etc)
