This extends beyond traditional “purple teaming” of end-points or networks to also look at the Okta product and SaaS applications used internally.

  1. Develop and maintain tools for running automated attack scenarios and analyzing the results.
  2. Identify areas of operational improvement that can be achieved through automation.
  3. Use tools such as Terraform, Docker, AWS ECS/ EC2 for building lab environments.
  4. Design and develop basic UX for internal tooling.
  5. Document tooling and provide support to operational teams using the tooling build.
What does it take?
  • 4+ years as a software engineer.
  • Strong knowledge of Python, Javascript and at least one UI framework such as React.
  • Experience in RESTful API design.
  • Understanding of container-based development practices in Docker and ECS.
