Job Description

Okta is hiring a Staff Back-End Software Engineer for its Resilience Team within the Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC). This hybrid role in San Francisco focuses on leading technical initiatives and owning reliability for a cloud-native Identity as a Service platform, with an emphasis on building backend foundations that help Okta scale.

What you’ll do

Work with engineering teams to design, develop, and deliver cloud-based infrastructure projects that address complex reliability challenges and support Okta’s scaling needs.
Build and maintain backend frameworks, tools, microservices, and reusable library components that the broader engineering organization can adopt at scale.
Promote innovative, scalable, and resilient approaches across teams, including guidance on fault-tolerant system design.
Explore and integrate modern AI-driven developer tooling, automated diagnostics, and predictive monitoring to improve performance testing, speed debugging, and strengthen service reliability.
Lead rigorous design and code reviews, and raise engineering standards by implementing high-quality unit and functional tests.
Participate in and lead incident Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to improve reliability over time, surface systemic weaknesses, and create long-term mitigation plans.
Collaborate with Architects, QA, Product Owners, Engineering Services, and Tech Ops to deliver secure and dependable software.
Support mentoring for new engineering hires and interns.

What you’ll bring

8+ years of software development experience, with deep, expert-level knowledge of Java (experience with Golang is a strong plus).
Experience architecting, implementing, tuning, and debugging global cloud software, including deep understanding of microservices, cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred, with Azure or GCP), and container ecosystems (Docker, Kubernetes).
A track record of tackling scaling, redundancy, and performance bottlenecks in high-availability, multi-tenant SaaS environments.
Practical experience or strong interest in using generative AI utilities and developer assistance tools (such as AI coding assistants, automated code-generation, intelligent log analytics, or predictive profiling tools) to increase productivity and optimize systems.
Strong communication and leadership skills, including the ability to coordinate high-impact technical projects, align stakeholders, and influence technical direction.
Prior experience in platform reliability, resilience, or core infrastructure roles is highly valued.
