Solving problems is universal at Okta. But solving API problems for both internal teams and customers, across all time zones, earned Keith Casey his somewhat official title of Problem Solver. We were excited to sit down with Keith to learn more about how he enables Okta’s sales engineers and customers to be successful and still finds time to work…

At that time, we were mostly known for our IT products: single sign-on, provisioning (now lifecycle management), multi-factor authentication (now adaptive MFA), Okta…

I love the challenge of finding innovative solutions to complex problems. I was a developer for several years before I joined Okta. At the time, Okta’s product offering was much more limited than it is today but in identity, I saw an opportunity which knew no bounds to a developer. Little did I realize that joining Okta would become such a large…

Since then, we’ve seen bravery from…

Nothing is more important than identity. It’s who you are as an individual and who we are as a company. At Okta, we’re proud to protect your right to be you. Every identity and every person is unique. They say great minds think alike, but we beg to differ. Great minds are great because they think differently, and they’re capable of incredible…

A job shouldn’t be reserved for the hours of 9-5. Success requires focus, continual learning and no limit to hard work. Whether it’s on the slopes or in the office, that’s sales-development-representative-turned-sales-engineer Akin Edwards’ philosophy. We were excited to sit down with Akin to hear more about his unique career path and passion for…

Before we head off to pop some bubbly and ring in 2017, we’re taking a few moments to celebrate the past year. #LifeatOkta means different things to all of us.
