Workforce Identity Cloud

Okta ORD (WIC) provides easy, secure access for your workforce so you can focus on other strategic priorities—like reducing costs, and doing more for your customers.

If you like to be challenged and have a passion for solving large-scale automation, testing, and tuning problems, we would love to hear from you. The ideal candidate is someone who exemplifies the ethics of, “If you have to do something more than once, automate it” and who can rapidly self-educate on new concepts and tools.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help drive our build, release, and testing infrastructure to the next level. You will focus on scaling and optimizing our systems for large-scale, high-performance deployments—reducing build times from days to mere minutes while maintaining high-quality releases. As part of our collaborative, fast-paced engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in delivering tools and processes that support continuous delivery, test-driven development, and agile methodologies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Automation & Tooling Development: Build, maintain, and improve our automated build, release, and testing infrastructure. Your focus will be on developing tools and scripts that automate our deployment pipeline, enabling a seamless and efficient continuous delivery process.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with development, QA, and SRE teams to ensure our build infrastructure meets the needs of all teams. Work with teams across the organization to create new tools, processes, and technologies that will streamline and enhance our delivery pipeline.
  • Innovative Technology Integration: Stay on top of the latest advancements in cloud technology, automation, and infrastructure tools. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with and recommend new technologies, including AWS services, to enhance our CI/CD system.
  • Scaling Infrastructure: Work on scaling our infrastructure to meet the demands of running thousands of automated tests for every commit. Help us reduce compute time from days to minutes, addressing scalability and performance challenges as we grow.
  • Continuous Improvement & Feedback Loops: Be a champion for continuous improvement by collecting feedback from internal customers, monitoring the adoption of new tools, and fine-tuning processes to maximize efficiency, stability, and overall satisfaction.
  • Process & Project Ownership: Lead the rollout of new tools and processes, from initial development through to full implementation. You’ll be responsible for ensuring smooth adoption and delivering value to internal teams.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in software development with a strong proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript.
  • Deep understanding of application development, microservices architecture, and the elements that drive a successful multi-service ecosystem. Familiarity with building and deploying scalable services is essential.
  • Strong automation skills: Experience scripting and building tools for automation in the context of continuous integration and deployment pipelines.
  • Cloud infrastructure expertise: Hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS) and Kubernetes or containerized environments.
  • Familiarity with containerization: Strong understanding of Docker and container orchestration, with a particular focus on cloud-native technologies.
  • Problem-solving mindset: Ability to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical challenges, particularly in large-scale systems.
  • Agile experience: Familiarity with Agile methodologies, and the ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams to deliver on-time and with high quality.
  • Collaboration skills: Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong team-oriented mindset with a focus on delivering value through collaboration.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Kubernetes (K8s): In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes architecture and operational experience in managing Kubernetes clusters at scale.
  • CI/CD expertise: Solid experience working with CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Spinnaker).
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience: Familiarity with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools for automating cloud infrastructure deployments.
  • Container orchestration & scaling: Experience with Karpenter or other auto-scaling tools for Kubernetes.
  • Monitoring & Logging: Familiarity with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch for tracking infrastructure performance and debugging production issues.
