Okta is The World's Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core 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.

At Okta, we're building the future of secure, enterprise-grade AI Agents. We're looking for a Staff Engineer to join our global AI Engineering team. In this role, you will be designing and building the intelligent, user-facing experiences and the end-to-end AI solutions that power them.

This is a senior individual contributor role for a hands-on engineer who can set technical direction, mentor others, and partner closely with our India-based counterparts as part of one global team.
What You'll Do

Design, build, and refine the front-end interfaces that bring our AI capabilities to life for employees and customers.
Build high-performance Agentic Experiences (AX) for web and mobile, engineered for streaming responses and low latency.
Champion observability and operational excellence to ensure our AI services meet enterprise-grade standards for reliability and performance.
Develop robust backend services to power our AI solutions, including LLM orchestration, RAG pipelines, and generative AI features
Enable the successful delivery of key AI projects through technical leadership and hands-on execution.
Mentor engineers, raising the bar on technical craftsmanship and solution quality across the full stack.
Collaborate with India-based peers to ensure globally aligned designs, shared roadmaps, and scalable architectures.
Partner with Security, Data, and Infrastructure teams to ensure AI adoption is secure, reliable, and enterprise-ready.

What We're Looking For

7+ years in software engineering, with deep expertise in front-end development (5+ years in modern frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular).
4+ years with backend systems design and development (Python preferred, Java, Node.js, or Go).
A strong commitment to building accessible (a11y) and inclusive user experiences while collaborating effectively with Product & Design.
Proven experience integrating LLMs and MCPs into production-ready, user-facing applications.
Experience with agentic frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith is a strong plus.
Strong background in building distributed systems, microservices, and resilient APIs (REST/GraphQL) on cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
Demonstrated ability to influence technical strategy and lead architecture decisions across global teams.
Excellent communication skills with experience working effectively across time zones and cultures.

Why Join Us
At Okta, you'll be part of a unified global AI engineering team that spans the US and India. You'll work on cutting-edge applied AI projects while shaping the platform foundations that make secure, scalable AI possible at enterprise scale. If you're passionate about building AI that is smarter, faster, and always secure, this is your opportunity to make an impact.
