Job description

Koniag Data Solutions, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking an experiencedOkta Identity Developer (Mid)to support enterprise identity and access management operations and IT administrative and operational support services for a federal government client. This position requires an active security clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain a government background investigation and all requisite IT access authorizations prior to performing work. Specific clearance requirements will be confirmed at time of offer. Primary work will be performed at the client site in Washington DC and approved remote/telework locations.

We offer competitive compensation and an extraordinary benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401K with company matching, flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, three weeks paid time off, and more.

This role serves as an important technical function responsible for the development, engineering, implementation, and operational support of custom identity solutions, integrations, and automation capabilities built on and around the Okta Identity platform across a complex, geographically distributed federal IT environment spanning on-premises infrastructure, cloud platforms, hybrid environments, and enterprise applications.

The ideal candidate is a technically proficient and development-focused identity engineer with solid, hands-on experience developing custom Okta integrations, identity automation workflows, API-based identity solutions, and application authentication implementations using Okta platform APIs, SDKs, and developer tools. This individual must possess the technical depth, software development skills, and collaborative mindset required to design and build robust, secure, and maintainable custom identity capabilities that extend and enhance the enterprise Okta platform in support of Government mission requirements and Zero Trust identity objectives.

The Okta Identity Developer (Mid) will serve as a key technical contributor responsible for the design, development, implementation, and operational support of custom identity solutions, integrations, automation workflows, and developer-facing capabilities built on the Okta platform. This individual works closely with the Senior Okta IAM Engineer, security engineers, application developers, DevSecOps engineers, cloud operations teams, and Government stakeholders to design and build custom identity capabilities that address complex integration requirements, automate identity lifecycle processes, extend Okta platform functionality, and accelerate the onboarding of Government applications to the enterprise Okta IAM ecosystem.

Principal responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

Custom Okta Integration Development

• Design, develop, implement, test, and maintain custom Okta integrations using Okta APIs, SDKs, and developer tools, addressing complex identity integration requirements that cannot be satisfied through standard Okta platform configurations alone.
• Develop custom Okta application integrations using SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and OAuth 2.0 protocols, supporting the onboarding of Government-developed applications and legacy systems to the enterprise Okta SSO platform where standard OIN integrations or template configurations are not available.
• Build and maintain custom Okta Sign-In Widget implementations for Government applications requiring branded, customized, or embedded authentication experiences, ensuring widget configurations meet accessibility, security, and user experience requirements.
• Develop custom Okta Authentication SDK integrations for applications requiring programmatic, embedded authentication flows, implementing secure authentication patterns using Okta's authentication SDK libraries across supported development languages and frameworks.
• Design and implement custom Okta application connectors and integration bridges for legacy applications, custom LDAP-based systems, and non-standard identity sources that require bespoke integration logic beyond standard platform capabilities.
• Develop and maintain integration test suites for all custom Okta integrations, ensuring integrations are thoroughly tested, reliably operational, and regression-tested following platform updates or application changes.

Okta Workflows Development

• Design, develop, implement, test, and maintain Okta Workflows automations, building custom workflow solutions that automate complex identity lifecycle processes, event-driven identity actions, and cross-platform identity orchestration scenarios.
• Develop Okta Workflows solutions for joiner, mover, and leaver automation scenarios, including custom onboarding and offboarding workflows, role-change access update automations, and exception handling logic that addresses complex organizational identity lifecycle requirements.
• Build Okta Workflows integrations with external systems using Okta Workflows connector library and HTTP actions, enabling automated data exchange between Okta and enterprise systems including HR platforms, IT service management tools, ticketing systems, and custom Government applications.
• Develop custom Okta Workflows functions and helper flows, creating reusable workflow components that promote consistency, reduce duplication, and accelerate the development of new workflow automation solutions.
• Implement Okta Workflows error handling and retry logic, ensuring automated workflows are resilient to transient failures, accurately log exceptions, and generate appropriate notifications
