About The Position

Intragen is seeking a Senior Okta Architect to join their team. This is a principal-level, hands-on technical role focused on delivering Okta solutions. The architect will be responsible for guiding knowledge and skills in areas such as hands-on delivery, architectural design, deep solution-centered pre-sales, technical governance, and team leadership for the Okta delivery team. The role requires extensive experience with Okta Workforce Identity, Okta Customer Identity Cloud, and Auth0, across cloud and hybrid environments, and for clients ranging from SMB to enterprise scale. The architect will work closely with supporting pre-sales and delivery teams, and will be critical to customer relationships and stakeholder engagement, requiring close interfacing with internal and external Okta teams. Knowledge of identity concepts outside of Okta is considered advantageous.

Requirements

Extensive hands-on experience delivering Okta and Auth0 solutions, including working knowledge of existing products and SKUs (such as UD, SSO, LCM, Workflows, API Access Management, Okta Identity Governance, Okta Privileged Access, Okta Access Gateway, ISPM, Okta for AI Agents, Auth0).
Working knowledge of authentication protocols including SAML, OIDC and OAuth 2.0, federation, and Joiner-Mover-Leaver processes built on both standards-based provisioning (e.g. SCIM) and customised integration patterns — spanning SWA, SCIM and SAML/OIDC app integrations, inbound/outbound provisioning via Okta Workflows, API-based integrations (Okta Management/Org2Org APIs), directory integrations (AD/LDAP via Okta AD Agent or LDAP Interface), and custom connectors for non-standard target systems.
Demonstrable, hands-on architecture experience designing and delivering Okta solutions across a wide catalogue of requirements in cloud and hybrid environments — with credible, proven delivery for customers ranging from SMB through to complex enterprise-scale user volumes and organisational structures.
Demonstrable, hands-on architecture experience designing and delivering Auth0 across a variety of B2C and B2B use cases — with credible, proven delivery for customers looking to implement greenfield or migration and re-build deployments.
Confident in proposing Okta solutions for a variety of customer architectural scenarios such as hub-and-spoke, federation, multi-cloud, and heterogeneous IT estates, within the context of Microsoft Entra and AD, and cloud-first/cloud-only strategies.
Competent in articulating a new Okta deployment to displace an incumbent, legacy, or non-strategic IdP.
Experience operating at senior or principal level, combining technical delivery with senior sales engagement and technical governance.
Proven experience managing and developing technical teams.
Okta certification required (Architect or Professional level).
Fluent in English; not required to be UK-based, but must be able to support regional client needs.

Nice To Haves

Knowledge of identity concepts outside of Okta is advantageous.

Responsibilities

Deliver Okta solutions hands-on, covering both Customer Identity and Workforce Identity use cases across the current and future Okta technology stack.
Maintain a billable, hands-on delivery presence as the lead architect on client engagements, rather than operating in a purely advisory capacity.
Work directly with clients and internal delivery teams on live engagements as a critical part of the end-to-end process from pre-sales to project completion.
Engage in senior sales conversations, providing technical credibility and governance across Okta and Auth0 opportunities.
Manage and develop the internal Okta delivery team, provide a technical soundboard for complex problems, and offer solutions to challenges faced in day-to-day delivery of Okta and Auth0 projects.
Build depth in the team through mentoring and development, giving regular feedback to secure accurate delivery of projects by enhancing team knowledge and technical acumen.
