Get to know Okta
Okta is The World's Identity Company.

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 End User Protection Team
Auth0 is an easy-to-implement authentication and authorization platform designed by developers for developers. We ensure access to applications is safe, secure, and seamless for the more than 100 million daily logins worldwide.

capabilities. Cyberattacks, such as credential stuffing and password spraying, often target end users to gain unauthorized access to applications. These attacks pose a significant threat, compromising user accounts and data. The Attack Protection features mitigate these risks by continuously monitoring user login behavior and automatically detecting and blocking malicious activity. They protect users without adding unnecessary friction.

The team works closely with our

  • Collaborate with industry-leading experts to implement the cutting-edge of Identity Protocols and Open Standards such as OpenID Connect, OAuth and SAML
  • Maintain and operate services at a high scale
