As a Staff Identity Engineer on the internal Identity team, you will serve as a technical authority driving the architecture and execution of the organization's identity fabric. You will manage the lifecycle, policy design, and adaptive MFA for enterprise tenants while building API-based pipelines to automate complex workflows. Your role involves implementing core protocols like OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SAML 2.0, alongside phishing-resistant MFA such as FIDO2/WebAuthn. You will utilize Terraform and Okta Workflows to define identity controls as code across AWS, GCP, and Azure environments. The work focuses on securing the foundational trust layer against session hijacking and cookie theft while governing a growing sprawl of non-human, agentic workflows. You will also ensure that all identity controls natively meet compliance requirements including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP standards.
