About this role
Okta Privileged Access Management protects the most sensitive credentials in a company, the ones that unlock production systems, and this team builds it on a zero trust architecture. This is a staff level full stack role with a weekly release cycle and individual ownership, which the posting presents as the reason the work moves quickly. You would design and build end to end features using modern JavaScript and cloud native backend technologies, lead technical design on key initiatives, and build reusable UI components for a no code builder experience. Note the backend depth being asked for: 9+ years in a modern language such as Go, Java or C++ with an emphasis on backend services, and 4+ years with PostgreSQL. The posting also puts explicit weight on using AI pair programmers in the development cycle.
Who this is for
Asks for 9+ years of extensive programming experience in a modern programming language such as Go, Java or C++, especially in backend services, with Go called out as preferred, and 4+ years working with PostgreSQL or an equivalent relational database. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent is required, with a Master's preferred. The posting also asks for proven expertise using AI development tools, naming GitHub Copilot and Anthropic Claude, to accelerate the development lifecycle while maintaining code quality, and for strong computer science fundamentals in data structures and algorithms.
Day to day: use AI pair programmers and LLMs to accelerate development of secure, enterprise grade privileged access management products; design, develop and deliver cloud based privileged access solutions with engineering teams; design, build and maintain end to end features using modern JavaScript and cloud native backend technologies; lead technical design for key initiatives, driving quality, scalability and maintainability; build reusable and performant UI components for a no code builder experience; drive evaluation, development and rollout of new features and common platform components; evolve existing systems for specialised circumstances; conduct design and code reviews accounting for scalability, redundancy and multi tenancy; write comprehensive unit and functional tests; monitor, troubleshoot and fix owned services and frameworks; resolve performance bottlenecks; provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior developers; and work with architects, QA, product owners, security and operations engineers.
Location is Bengaluru and the listing carries a hybrid tag, without a stated office day count.
No interview process is published.
Fit note: this is titled fullstack but the experience requirement is written around backend services. Read the balance carefully if your strength is the frontend half.
