Get to know OktaOkta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology—anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth. At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

The Team

The Okta Identity Orchestration (OIO) Builders team’s mission is to drive the expansion of Okta’s integration suite, in both volume and functionality. We do this by owning the entire lifecycle of building implementations to integrate third-party services into core Okta products. We also own the building of “Workflows Connectors” for third-party services in order to enable extensibility and orchestration in Okta Workflows. In addition, we also support protocol based integrations to support our strategic ISVs.

Okta Integration Network (OIN) allows ISVs to integrate deeply with Okta that enterprises then use to give their workforce seamless access to the technology they need. Okta Workflows is a no-code platform for the automation of business processes, including user provisioning lifecycle management, using a library of integrated third-party applications and functions. By harnessing the power of the cloud, Okta allows people to quickly integrate different services, while still enforcing strong security policies. They integrate directly with an organization’s existing services such as directories and identity systems, as well as many other applications.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Application Analyst to expand the Okta Integration Network (OIN) using Okta's Workflow Automation and Integration Development Platform. Okta Workflows is a no-code solution to automate and orchestrate identity management processes, which comes with out of the box API integrations to cloud services, such as Google Workspace, Workday, Salesforce, Box, Slack, GitHub, and Atlassian. 

Application Analysts at Okta will use Okta Workflows and its API integrations to build components which are made available to our customers. These customers can then use these components to create their own mission critical business workflows for thousands of users in production. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), developers, product managers, and external integrators. This role requires a unique combination of skills including the ability to design an elegant user experience that enables customers to build intuitive, reliable, secure and resilient business workflows. 

What you’ll be doing

• Implement the MVP version of the connector and validate the functional use cases through to a production quality version, ready for customer usage.
• Ensure that connectors adhere to Okta’s best practices, are secure, scalable, and resilient.
• Work with the OIO Services team to enable deployment of connectors
• Proactively suggest quality, scalability, and productivity improvements for the connector development and deployment tools you use.
• Assist in implementing continuous testing, PDVs, and synthetic tests to monitor mission critical 3rd party integrations, metrics, alerting, and logging.
• Collaborate with product management and leadership to conceptualize and implement sustainable and efficient processes.
• Collaborate with technical writers to create and improve our customer-facing and developer-facing documentation.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Basic understanding of software engineering principles and design patterns (i.e. data structures, algorithms, and component design).
• Basic understanding of server side programming principles (HTTP, Load Balancing, Database systems, Caching, Asynchronous processing, Webhooks, Serverless Computing, Cryptography, Authentication & Authorization).
• Knowledge of authentication and authorization protocols and frameworks (i.e. OAuth, OIDC).
• Fundamental knowledge of factors affecting API security such as CSRF attacks
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. 
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. Ability to look beyond the surface and be sensitive to underlying problems.
• Demonstrated ability to review third-party API documentation to determine the feasibility of implementing different types of integration patterns.
• Ability to work well in a team environment. Not afraid of reaching out for help or delegating tasks as needed.
• Well-organized, methodical, and documentation & detail focused.
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for continuous learning.

And extra credit if you have experience in any of the following! 

• 3+ years of user interface design (i.e. HTML and CSS).

• An understanding of the software development lifecycle.
• API integration experience (REST/SOAP/GraphQL)
