We are looking for great teammates that can build sales presentations, product demonstrations, and educate customers (everyone from developers to product managers to C-level executives) on the best ways to cloud security technology. We believe in Okta's Solutions Engineers empathize with customers and quickly discern their true technical needs by asking detailed and clarifying questions and presenting solutions that target those needs. You have the rare combination of technical savviness and business insight and you're looking for a career where you can utilize both. As a Senior Solutions Engineer at Okta, you will hone each of these skills by advising a diverse set of Fortune 500 customers on what is possible using Okta's Identity Platform.

  • Craft technical content to show customers how to implement specific use cases or standard methodologies for new technologies
  • Prepare and deliver demos to showcase how the Okta platform meets customer's business needs and use cases.
  • Distill and communicate customer needs and product feedback to Product Management, Engineering, Marketing and Sales
Required Skills:
    • 5+ years pre-sales engineering experience
    • A passion to serve the customer, which has played out in some customer-facing role like consulting or support, ideally solutions engineering
    • An ability to quickly and effectively communicate complex technical concepts via presentation, slides and whiteboard
    • A Strong Understanding of Identity & Access Management (IAM)
      • SSO, MFA, SCIM, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and LDAP.
      • Lifecycle management, role-based access control (RBAC), and provisioning/deprovisioning.
    • A strong understanding of Zero Trust Architecture and core security concerns within a typical application (password hashing, SSL/TLS, encryption at rest, XSS, XSRF)
    • Hands-on experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus: web (JavaScript, HTML, frontend frameworks) development, mobile (iOS, Android) development, backend (Java, C#, Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby) development, IP-based real-time communications
    • Experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP.
    • You are an elite communicator
    • Can identify, map, and manage multiple personas: IT admins, CISOs, architects, procurement, and legal.
    • Confident dispensing knowledge to a highly skilled and experienced audience
    • Typically 10-25% travel
    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, MIS or a comparable field is preferred.
