This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.
This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

Position Description
We are looking for a Staff Front-End Engineer to build the user experience for the Okta Recovery Vault (ORV). The ORV is a critical new enterprise-grade capability designed to protect against the accidental or malicious deletion of identity objects. This role is essential to our "Land big, grow fast" strategy, by providing customers with a reliable safety net for their data.
You will be responsible for designing and implementing a highly intuitive self-service recovery UI. This interface must empower admins to perform complex operations—such as bulk restorations of hundreds of users, managing configurable retention policies, and navigating detailed post-restore checklists—with confidence and ease.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
- UI Development: Lead the implementation of the Recovery Vault UI, ensuring a seamless experience for authorized admins via the Okta Admin Console.
- Complex Workflows: Build interactive interfaces for granular and bulk recovery operations, including async job progress indicators and success notifications.
- Data Visualization: Develop the "Captured" data summary view, using visual cues like status icons and tooltips to show admins exactly which credentials and relationships are recoverable at a glance.
- Advanced Filtering: Create robust filtering and search components that allow admins to scope deletions by source (Admin UI, Automation, SCIM) and time-based presets (Last 24h, 3 days, 7 days).
- User Guidance: Implement interactive post-restore checklists and summary modals to guide admins through manual follow-up actions like MFA re-enrollment and API token reissuance.
- Collaboration: Partner closely with Lead Product Designers and Product Managers to define the "how" of the user journey, ensuring the UI reduces admin "panic" during critical deletion incidents.
- Performance: Ensure the UI remains responsive and performant even when handling large datasets during bulk operations.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
- Experience: 5+ years of experience building sophisticated, enterprise-scale web applications.
- Frontend Core: Expert-level knowledge of modern JavaScript/TypeScript and frameworks such as React.
- API Integration: Strong experience consuming RESTful APIs to power dynamic administrative interfaces.
- UX/UI Sensibility: A proven track record of translating complex technical requirements into clean, user-centric interfaces.
- State Management: Experience managing complex application states, especially for asynchronous long-running jobs and progress tracking.
- Testing: Commitment to high code quality through unit testing, integration testing, and automated UI testing.
Nice to Haves
- Experience building administrative dashboards or recovery-focused tools.
- Familiarity with Identity and Access Management concepts (Users, Groups, MFA, and RBAC).
- Experience with feature flag frameworks and gradual rollout strategies.
- Knowledge of accessibility (A11y) standards for enterprise software.
- Experience with observability platforms to monitor UI performance and error rates.
Education and Training
- B.S. in Computer Science or a related field.
