Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. 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.

Job Overview:

We are looking for a Senior Engineer to join the FGA Developer Tooling team and help evolve our end to end developer experience across both OSS and SaaS.

This team owns the SDKs in Go, JavaScript, .NET, Python, Java and other languages, along with CLI workflows, IDE integrations, GitHub automation, developer documentation, and release strategy. All development is done in the open as open source, and we actively welcome and review community contributions.

Our guiding principle is One developer experience, many deployment models.

As a Senior Engineer, you will take ownership of significant portions of the SDK and tooling ecosystem, ensure high quality implementations across languages, and contribute to a consistent and reliable developer experience.

Responsibilities:

Maintain and enhance existing SDKs for FGA in Go, JavaScript, .NET, Python, and Java, leveraging our SDK generator framework.

Customize and refine SDK templates and wrappers to ensure consistency across languages and support configuration overrides such as store ID, authorization model ID, headers, and parallelization limits.

Implement and improve core SDK features including client credentials authentication flows, robust error mapping, retry logic with jitter, and rate limiting safeguards.

Implement advanced capabilities such as BatchCheck, ListRelations, and non transactional write operations with appropriate parallelization and performance considerations.

Contribute to the SDK generator tooling, templates, and supporting build workflows using Docker and related tooling.

Develop comprehensive tests for all exposed methods, including proper mocking of external requests.

Write and maintain clear developer focused documentation, guides, and examples.

Optimize and maintain CI workflows using GitHub Actions for building, testing, and releasing SDK clients.

Minimize external dependencies within SDKs, introducing new dependencies only when clearly justified.

Collaborate closely with FGA Core and other internal teams to ensure API changes are reflected cleanly and consistently across SDKs.

Participate actively in open source development, review community pull requests, and help contributors reach a mergeable state.

Participate in code reviews and post delivery validation to ensure high quality, secure SDK releases.
