We free everyone to safely use any technology—anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth.

At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.

Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

We are seeking a QA Automation Engineer to join the Okta Digital Engineering team. Our mission: to enable other teams in the organization to scale and achieve their goals through experimentation and the creation of new experiences. This team handles the final customer-facing experiences for the Okta marketing websites, which receive over 100 million visits monthly.

Given the scale and complexity of these experiences, we need a dedicated QA Automation Engineer to ensure quality and efficiency through automated testing. As a QA Automation Engineer, your main responsibility is the design, development, and implementation of automated testing frameworks and scripts for websites and web applications. This involves working closely with developers and designers to ensure the delivery of high quality products.

You will:

• Participate in cross-team initiatives from end to end, including test plan reviews, defect triage, automation strategy discussions, and release validation.
• Design, develop, and implement automated test suites for web applications, focusing on front-end functionality, ensuring accessibility, performance, and responsiveness, and contributing to the overall quality of our marketing organization's digital presence.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts for UI/UX elements, validating the accurate rendering of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Optimize automated test performance, considering factors such as test execution speed, efficient test data management, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to documentation related to test plans, test cases, automation frameworks, and defect reporting, including front-end component testing guidelines and best practices.
• Maintain a high awareness of industry issues and trends, particularly in regard to automated testing methodologies, accessibility (WCAG) testing tools, front-end testing frameworks, and emerging web technologies, and keep team members informed as appropriate, with a view to incorporate these in future testing strategies, staying ahead of the market, and positioning yourself and the company as a digital quality assurance specialist.
  
  

You might be a good fit if you:

• Enjoy working on a small, collaborative, and cross-functional team, contributing to both test planning and execution.
• Have 3+ years of professional experience with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and their relevance to front-end testing.
• Have 3+ years of professional experience in designing and implementing automated test frameworks and scripts.
• Have experience testing applications built on AEM, including understanding its component structure and content delivery mechanisms.
• Demonstrated proficiency in JavaScript for test automation, including experience with frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into the deployment process.
• Have strong Git experience and are comfortable with version control workflows for managing test code.
  
  

Extra Points:

• Experience in testing API integrations and server-side logic (e.g., Node.js, REST APIs).
• Demonstrated experience in automating tests for modern JavaScript frameworks/libraries (e.g., Next.js, Vue.js) integrated within AEM.
• Experience working with UI design tools (e.g., Figma) for test planning and visual validation.
• Deep understanding of web accessibility (WCAG) guidelines and experience in implementing and automating accessibility tests.
• Experience with performance testing tools and methodologies.
