Job description

This role will be working with a company that is a specialized Identity and Access Management consultancy focused on delivering comprehensive delivery services with Okta and Auth0. We partner with security and engineering teams to design, modernize, and operate Identity programs across Workforce Identity, Customer Identity (CIAM), Fine-Grained Authorization, and the emerging discipline of Agentic Identity. Our approach starts with a clear understanding of your environment. We build a living model of your identities, applications, and policies - which we call the Identity Ontology - and orchestrate change leveraging that model. This allows us to deliver complex, transformative identity projects at scale at a rapid pace.

General Description

We're hiring an Okta Engineer to join our delivery team on a full-time basis. This is a fully remote role for a seasoned IAM engineer/architect who can independently lead complex Okta engagements from design through implementation with minimal oversight.

This is a hands‑on technical leader responsible for architecting, implementing, and optimizing Access Management solutions across the Okta Identity Engine (OIE) and Auth0 platforms. This role requires deep expertise in Okta Workflows, federation, and modern authentication patterns — with the ability to flex between workforce and customer identity use cases depending on engagement needs.

This individual will serve as the technical authority on assigned engagements, driving solution design, leading client workshops, mentoring junior staff, and ensuring delivery excellence across the full engagement lifecycle.

Access Management / CIAM Practice

Coming to the Access Management team means working on the leading edge in the IAM space. As an Okta Engineer, you will lead complex identity engagements for some of the largest enterprises in the US — designing solutions that secure millions of users across workforce and customer-facing applications. You will have the autonomy to own your engagements end-to-end while being backed by a collaborative team of IAM specialists.

We partner with the largest vendors in the space to ensure that the latest training is always available to our team. High level communication and collaboration are the standard. Mentorship at all levels is foundational to our culture.

We understand that in order to retain our talented team, leadership must provide regular feedback and coaching. We recruit new members to the team with the understanding that opportunities for growth are important. Whether your goals include future leadership opportunities, becoming a Practice Director, or even moving to another discipline within security in time, the leadership team is focused on partnering with you to help achieve them.

• Experience with additional Okta OIE modules:
• Okta Privileged Access (OPA)
• Okta Identity Governance (OIG)
• Okta Device Access
• Okta Identity Threat Protection (ITP)
• Okta for AI Agents (O4AA)
• Experience with Ping Identity products (PingFederate, PingOne, PingAccess) or other Access Management vendors (Microsoft Entra ID, ForgeRock)
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tooling for identity — Okta Terraform Provider, Git-based version control, and CI/CD pipeline integration
• Okta certifications:
• Okta Certified Professional
• Okta Certified Administrator
• Okta Certified Consultant
• Experience with complementary IAM platforms (CyberArk, SailPoint)
• Background in customer identity (CIAM) architecture patterns and multi-tenant design
• Additional certifications (CISSP, Security+, AWS/Azure identity certifications)
