The TDI Client Platform Engineering Team

The Technology, Data, and Insights (TDI) team is on a mission to accelerate Okta’s scale. We are a group of innovative engineers who prioritize automation, testing, and performance tuning. We touch every part of the business, and we are obsessed with creating a seamless, secure end-user experience for every Okta employee.

The Staff Client Platform Engineer Opportunity

As a Staff Client Platform Engineer, you will be the subject matter expert for Okta’s macOS and iOS fleet. While your primary focus is the Apple ecosystem, you will also play a key role in our broader endpoint strategy, contributing to our Windows, Android, Linux, and VDI management workflows as needed. This is an ideal path for an engineer who wants to maintain deep Apple expertise while expanding their influence across the entire OS landscape.

What makes this role unique: You are Customer Zero. Because we build identity and device management products, you will work directly with Okta’s own Product and Engineering teams to validate new capabilities across platforms, surface real-world feedback, and help shape the roadmap for tools used by millions of people globally.

This role reports to the Senior Manager of Client Platform Engineering.

What You\'ll Be Doing

• Apple Fleet Management: Own the global macOS and iOS fleet using Jamf Pro, overseeing enrollment, configuration profiles, and application deployment.
• Cross-Platform Support: Contribute to the management and security of Windows (via Intune/Autopilot) and Linux endpoints as the program evolves, ensuring a consistent security posture across all OS types.
• Tooling & Evolution: Administer open-source tools (Munki, Santa) and lead evaluations of emerging platforms like FleetDM to enhance cross-platform fleet visibility.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure endpoints meet NIST, CIS, and STIG standards. Partner with Security teams to respond to vulnerabilities across the entire fleet.
• Engineering & Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Apply an IaC mindset to device management using code-based workflows (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, or Jamf API). Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure repeatable, scalable, and automated deployments regardless of the OS.
• Technical Direction: Set the architecture and technical direction for a domain, such as Apple platform, endpoint security tooling or devices-as-code, and write design or docs that formalize it.
• Customer Zero Advocacy: Act as a primary feedback loop for Okta’s internal product teams. Test new features in production and influence the product roadmap based on operational data.
• Operational Excellence: Provide Tier 3 escalation support for global IT teams and participate in an on-call rotation.

What You\'ll Bring

• Core Experience: 8+ years in endpoint engineering with a focus on Apple platforms at enterprise scale.
• Technical Versatility: A strong understanding of Windows and Linux operating systems; you aren't just a \"Mac person\", you understand how to apply engineering principles to any OS.
• MDM Mastery: Deep expertise in managing endpoints at scale via MDM, such as Jamf Pro. Familiarity with Microsoft Intune, FleetDM or other cross-platform MDM/UEM solutions is a significant plus.

• Scripting: Proficiency in Bash, Python, Go, or Swift (PowerShell experience is a bonus).
• Tooling: Experience with Git, GitHub Actions, Terraform, or similar CI/CD frameworks.
• Security: Understanding of ADE/DEP, MDM/DDM protocols, and platform-specific hardening (e.g., BitLocker, FileVault, LUKS).

• Identity Knowledge: Familiarity with SAML and OIDC and how they integrate with endpoint authentication.

Additional requirements:

• This position requires the ability to access federal environments and/or have access to protected federal data. As a condition of employment for this position, the successful candidate must be able to submit documentation establishing U.S. Person status (e.g. a U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refugee, or Asylee. 22 CFR 120.15) upon hire.

Extra Credit

• Hands-on experience with FleetDM or osquery for multi-OS visibility.
• Experience with Autopkg pipelines or AWS Lambda for endpoint automation.
• Background in Federal compliance (FedRAMP).
• Relevant certifications (Apple, Okta, Microsoft, AWS, Jamf).
