Product Manager, Zero Trust Authentication

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. Okta enables universal, secure access to technology for every user and organization. The Device Identity and Access team ensures that every endpoint interacting with corporate resources is trusted, healthy, and secure.

Our pillar spans four domains: Device Identity, Device Authentication, Device Security Posture, and Endpoint AI Security. We are hiring a Product Manager to drive our Zero Trust Authentication group. In this role, you will lead the core execution, performance, and deployment strategy for Okta’s foundational endpoint products.

You will own the operational excellence of Okta Verify , FastPass , and Device Assurance , ensuring that our core passwordless authentication flows and device posture engines remain performant, secure, and incredibly easy for global enterprises to deploy at scale. This is a critical, high-impact role designed for a highly autonomous product manager. You will take on the tactical execution and smaller strategic investments for our endpoint authenticators, acting as the team's operational anchor so that our senior product leaders can continuously expand our strategic frontiers.

What you will own You will bridge user experience and deep systems engineering to ensure our core authentication products scale reliably for millions of global users. Core Device Assurance Execution: Own the roadmap for our baseline security posture checks (such as OS version validation, disk encryption, and firewall status). You will manage the execution of our posture policy engine and our first-party EDR/MDM signal integrations.

Okta Verify Core Features: You will lead the feature roadmap and runtime capabilities for Okta Verify across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux. You will focus on transforming raw device-side signals into secure user experiences, managing the lifecycle of on-device authenticators, and shipping tactical feature enhancements. Frictionless FastPass Adoption: You will drive the enrollment, registration, and adoption feature loops for FastPass, our premier passwordless, phishing-resistant authenticator.

You will build zero-touch MDM provisioning paths, streamlined setup flows, and deployment controls that make passwordless authentication frictionless to activate. A day in the life Your day is a constant balancing act between core platform execution and immediate customer support. You might start your morning on a call with a strategic customer, taking tactical feedback on a Device Assurance integration and helping them design a phased rollout plan to migrate their users to FastPass.

By midday, you are partnering with your engineering leads and software architects, debating the technical trade-offs of a client-side storage upgrade or reviewing app startup latency metrics. By midday, you shift your focus to execution. You thrive on taking highly ambiguous problem spaces and bringing absolute clarity to the engineering teams.

Requirements

are clearly defined, scoped, and directly tied to delivering concrete solutions for our customers. In the afternoon, you collaborate with your product peers to ensure that foundational device signals map cleanly to downstream capabilities like Identity Threat Protection or core policy evaluations. You write highly detailed, plain-prose specifications with clear problem statements to guide developer execution.
