About this role
Okta is building the trusted infrastructure for identity and access management in an AI-driven world, and this Partner Solutions Engineer role sits at the intersection of that mission and channel growth. You'd be the technical expert embedded with key partners and global system integrators, translating between Okta's platform capabilities and partners' go-to-market strategies. Your work spans technical relationship building, hands-on enablement through workshops and demos, fielding complex IAM questions, guiding RFP responses, and gathering partner feedback to influence product direction—all while helping partners build sustainable Okta practices that deliver real customer outcomes.
The role demands someone with at least five years of pre-sales engineering experience, ideally with direct Okta or Auth0 implementation background, who understands the IAM and identity-as-a-service landscape deeply. You'll need strong technical foundations in security protocols (OAuth, SAML, LDAP, OIDC) and development across web, mobile, or backend stacks, plus hands-on cloud experience. Equally important is the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to highly skilled audiences and genuinely prioritize partner success as your customer.
Based in Bengaluru with up to 25% travel, this is a full-time in-office role that requires an initial week onboarding at Okta's San Francisco headquarters. Success is measured by revenue influence, partner-driven GTM adoption, and enablement growth.
