The Global Data & Insights Team

Okta's Enterprise Data & Insights team powers the data infrastructure that drives decision-making across the company by building reliable pipelines, scalable data platforms, and production-grade data products. We partner closely with internal Data and Insights Analysts as well as external Okta Product teams to unlock business value through robust data architecture, efficient data movement, and the engineering foundations that make data trustworthy at scale.

The Staff DevOps Data Engineer Opportunity

What you’ll be doing

  • Build and maintain the core infrastructure for our Federal Data Platform, using Python, Go, and other relevant
    technologies to ensure automation and reliability across the AWS cloud environment.
  • Partner with data engineers to design and implement secure, automated CI/CD pipelines that include static analysis security testing (SAST) for Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Checkov, tfsec) to proactively detect misconfigurations such as unencrypted EBS volumes, overly permissive IAM policies, and non-compliant resource definitions.
  • Strengthen Okta's software delivery processes by enhancing pipeline automation, delivery tools, and configuration management.
  • Design, build, and maintain hardened container golden images, owning the end-to-end lifecycle from base image creation through automated distribution, vulnerability scanning (e.g., Trivy, Grype), and enforcing image provenance across deployment environments.
