Role Overview
🏢 About Okta
Okta is a publicly traded identity and access management company used by over 18,000 enterprises globally. Its platform covers single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and identity lifecycle management for both workforce and customer use cases. Okta's Bengaluru engineering centre contributes to core platform R&D.
🎯 The Role
This is a Principal-level individual contributor role — the technical authority for the Identity Lifecycle and Administration group. You'll own frontend architecture strategy, set standards across multiple teams, and mentor Senior and Staff engineers.

- Build high-complexity UI components — editors, grids, structured data views — with a focus on performance
- Evolve the front-end architecture: component libraries, layout systems, theming, and global UI patterns
- Own interaction design decisions where design coverage is limited
- Build frameworks and tooling that make other teams faster
- Mentor Senior and Staff engineers on key technical initiatives
- Set and enforce architectural standards for DX, observability, and quality across the group
✅ What You'll Need
