As part of this team, you will also work on new efforts to keep Okta’s infrastructure practices at par with the best industry trends. You will also interface with teams involved with deployments, operations, product and data to address process bottlenecks with code and automate time consuming jobs. These services enable engineers across product and infrastructure engineering groups to safely, reliably and repeatably execute runbooks and other actions on test, preview and production environments. This group manages different pieces of production access automation as well as notifications and dashboards to provide visibility into engineer triggered actions across Okta infrastructure.

• Use security best practices in the development of microservices and tooling to reduce attack surface across the infrastructure stack
• Identify areas for automation that are self-serviceable to reduce manual onboarding
• Occasionally contribute to front end components of new or existing tooling, in an effort to continuously improve the UX of the same
