About the job

Empower Every Identity, from AI to Human

Identity is crucial for harnessing the full potential of AI. At Okta, we secure AI by constructing a trusted, neutral infrastructure that allows organizations to confidently navigate this new era. This mission requires an unwavering commitment to tackling complex challenges with significant real-world implications. We seek innovators and leaders who act swiftly and with precision to deliver exceptional results.

This is a chance to engage in career-defining work. If you share our dedication to this mission, we want to hear from you.

The Identity Team

The Identity team’s objective is to reinforce Okta’s standing as the leading Identity-as-a-Service provider by identifying and mitigating risks to our employees, products, and, most importantly, our customers. As cloud application adoption accelerates, businesses face challenges in accurately assessing risks and responding at the speed required.

 

The AI Identity Architect Opportunity

Reporting to the VP of Identity & Access Management, you will be an AI Identity Trailblazer, not merely an IAM specialist. Your extensive experience in securing autonomous agents at scale will be your key asset. You’ve witnessed the shortcomings of traditional OAuth flows under agentic demands, grappled with the challenges of "Secret Zero" in a LangChain loop, and identified the gaps in current industry tools. At Okta, your role will extend beyond implementing security; you will leverage your proven expertise to influence the product features necessary to safeguard the next generation of identities.

The mission of the AI Identity Architect is to spearhead Okta’s enterprise identity strategy for autonomous AI agents. As Customer Zero, you will implement Okta on Okta—validating identity patterns at a production scale, providing direct input into product roadmaps, and collaborating with business units to enhance internal agentic systems.

 

What You’ll Be Doing 

Product Vision & Architecture (The "Ratified R0")

  • Drive the Roadmap: Serve as a primary stakeholder for Okta’s product teams. Translate your real-world experience in securing agents into prioritized feature requests and product requirements.
  • Target State: Establish a multi-year roadmap for Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and AI Agents in alignment with Zero Trust (NIST 800-207) and Okta’s Secure Identity Commitment.
  • Posture First: Employ ISPM (Identity Security Posture Management) to identify unmanaged AI agents and eliminate "Identity Debt".

About Okta, Inc.

Okta is a leader in Identity-as-a-Service, dedicated to building a secure, trusted identity infrastructure. Our mission is to empower organizations to embrace the potential of AI while mitigating risks and ensuring security for all identities, human and machine.
