This is an opportunity to join our fast-growing Engineering Data Science team to develop cutting-edge data pipelines and platforms to help augment our product offerings in security, authentication, applications, and customer experience. We are looking for senior data engineers who can help architect and own the platform for deploying and optimizing the data lake and data streams used by our machine learning models to protect user authentication and security. They will also own the pipeline which needs to process hundreds of millions of events per day and provide results back to the authentication system to make real-time risk evaluation during user authentication. This project has a directive from engineering leadership to make OKTA a leader in the use of data and machine learning to improve end-user security and to expand that core-competency across the rest of engineering.

We hope you will share our passion and great pride in the work we do and will join an engineering team that strongly believes in automated testing and an iterative process to build high-quality next-generation cloud platforms.

Our elite team is fast, innovative, and flexible. We expect great things from our engineers and reward them with stimulating new projects and emerging technologies.
