Cloud Infrastructure Architect, Okta Federal

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes.

We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission.

If you are too, let's talk. Technology, Data, and Insights (TDI) is on a mission to accelerate Okta's scale and growth. We bring world-class business acumen and technology expertise to every interaction.

We also drive cross-functional collaboration and are focused on delivering measurable business outcomes. The TDI Infrastructure Engineering team owns the foundational platforms that power Okta's business — from cloud infrastructure and AI platform delivery to network engineering, developer productivity, observability, and client platforms. We are a team of builders who design and operate at scale, and we are in the middle of a strategic transformation: evolving our cloud practice from a self-service model into a managed, opinionated platform that the entire business can rely on.

The Cloud Platform Architect Opportunity Okta Federal, Inc. is looking for a dedicated Cloud Platform Architect for TDI Infrastructure Engineering — the technical authority for how we design, build, and evolve the cloud infrastructure that underpins our AI platform and the broader workloads running across the business. You will define the architectural standards, patterns, and strategies that the Cloud Platform Engineering team builds to, and you will serve as a key partner to AI, security, and productivity architects as we scale Okta's cloud capabilities to meet increasing business demand.

This is a hands-on builder role. We are not looking for someone who advises from a distance — we need someone who has shipped cloud infrastructure at scale and brings the credibility and depth to make sound architectural decisions in a fast-moving environment. You will operate at a critical moment: Okta's AI platform is scaling rapidly, our cloud platform team is transforming, and the foundational decisions made now will define the trajectory of our infrastructure for years.

This role reports directly to the Director of Infrastructure Engineering.
