About The Position

Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. 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.

The Device Identity and Access team ensures that every endpoint interacting with corporate resources is trusted, healthy, and secure. Our pillar spans four domains: Device Identity, Device Authentication, Device Security Posture, and Endpoint AI Security. We are hiring a Product Manager to drive our Zero Trust Authentication group. In this role, you will lead the core execution, performance, and deployment strategy for Okta’s foundational endpoint products. You will own the operational excellence of Okta Verify, FastPass, and Device Assurance, ensuring that our core passwordless authentication flows and device posture engines remain performant, secure, and incredibly easy for global enterprises to deploy at scale. This is a critical, high-impact role designed for a highly autonomous product manager. You will take on the tactical execution and smaller strategic investments for our endpoint authenticators, acting as the team's operational anchor so that our senior product leaders can continuously expand our strategic frontiers.
