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 Opportunity As organizations successfully adopt phishing-resistant MFA, attackers have shifted their tactics—increasingly deploying Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing kits and info-stealer malware to execute session hijacking via cookie theft. Furthermore, with the explosive rise of autonomous AI workloads, securing human identity is no longer enough; we must now protect and govern a fast-growing sprawl of non-human, agentic workflows. We are looking for a highly mature, technically elite, and customer-obsessed Identity Solutions Architect to drive the technical execution of our Identity Security & Agentic Identity portfolio. In this role, you will be a cornerstone of the "Okta on Okta" team, acting as Customer Zero. Reporting directly to the VP of IAM, you will work hand-in-hand with our Principal Product Managers. While the PM shapes the portfolio strategy, you will own the technical architecture, internal deployment blueprints, and the public stage. You will shepherd cutting-edge features from Alpha through Early Availability (EA)—guaranteeing we are our own first and best customer before these solutions scale to the rest of the world. Key Portfolio Focus Areas As the Identity Solutions Architect, you will architect the technical blueprints and deployment strategies for Okta’s premier identity security offerings across both our workforce and developer platforms: AI Agent & Agentic Identity Security: Architecting how Okta governs non-human, autonomous AI workloads across O4AA (Okta for AI Agents) and A4AA (Auth0 for AI Agents), defining secure authentication and authorization patterns. Next-Gen Guardrails: Designing token exchange patterns, security gateways, and implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to secure agent-to-data interactions. Hardware-Bound Session Security: Designing Okta’s defense against session cookie thievery by leveraging cryptographically hardware-bound tokens (Okta DBSSO and Chrome DBSC). Advanced Threat & Posture Management: Deploying Identity Threat Protection (ITP) for continuous risk evaluation and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) to eliminate hidden vulnerabilities across human and machine identities. Identity Governance & Administration (IGA): Designing and enforcing modern access governance, including automated lifecycle management, self-service access request workflows, and continuous access certification using Okta Identity Governance. Privileged Access Management (PAM): Architecting secure, just-in-time (JIT) access to critical infrastructure, managing secrets, and securing privileged sessions using Okta Privileged Access. What You’ll Be Doing (Your Impact) Governance & Privileged Access Leadership: Lead the internal Customer Zero deployment of Okta IGA and PAM. You will blueprint workflows for least-privilege access, ensuring robust compliance and security over Okta's most sensitive administrative, server, and infrastructure entitlements. Customer Zero Lifecycle Execution (Alpha to EA): Act as the lead architect testing and deploying Alpha identity security features within Okta’s internal IAM environment. Author the technical rollout blueprints and provide the core engineering teams with critical feedback. Anti-Session Hijacking Architecture: Design the internal implementation blueprint for how Okta DBSSO and Chrome DBSC complement one another, creating an ironclad,
