Get to know Okta
Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology—anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth.
At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.
Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
The Okta Identity Orchestration (OIO) Builders team’s mission is to drive the expansion of Okta’s integration suite, in both volume and functionality. We do this by owning the entire lifecycle of building implementations to integrate third-party services into core Okta products. We also own the building of “Workflows Connectors” for third-party services in order to enable extensibility and orchestration in Okta Workflows. In addition, we also support protocol based integrations to support our strategic ISVs.
Okta Integration Network (OIN) allows ISVs to integrate deeply with Okta that enterprises then use to give their workforce seamless access to the technology they need. Okta Workflows is a no-code platform for the automation of business processes, including user provisioning lifecycle management, using a library of integrated third-party applications and functions. By harnessing the power of the cloud, Okta allows people to quickly integrate different services, while still enforcing strong security policies. They integrate directly with an organization’s existing services such as directories and identity systems, as well as many other applications.
