• Okta Identity Governance (OIG)
• Okta Workflows
• Application onboarding, lifecycle management, and policy enforcement
• Strong, hands-on cloud administration experience in Microsoft Azure (required), including identity, access control, and resource governance
• Working knowledge of AWS and Google Cloud Platform in multi-cloud environments
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (K8s), including workload identity, access controls, and platform security considerations
• Working knowledge of Splunk Cloud, including building alerts, dashboards, and detection logic for security-relevant events
• Strong understanding of modern authentication and authorization standards, including OAuth2, OIDC, and SAML
• Proficiency in Python scripting for automation, integration, and operational tooling
• Demonstrated experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows
• Experience designing and implementing RBAC/ABAC models across cloud and SaaS platforms
• Demonstrated experience performing threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE, attack trees) and translating findings into actionable engineering controls

Preferred Qualifications

• Okta certifications (e.g., Okta Certified Administrator, Okta Certified Professional, or equivalent advanced certification)
• Experience supporting AI/ML platforms or AI-enabled application ecosystems
• Experience with secrets management and zero trust architecture patterns
• Experience with tools like LangSmith and other AI related tools

Salary range: $121,000-$163,000, plus may be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
