Senior Software Engineer in Test

• Okta Identity Governance is Okta’s Identity Governance and Administration solution, responsible for some of the most critical and visible workflows in enterprise identity: how people request access, how approvers grant it, how entitlements are enforced, and how organizations prove to auditors that only the right people have the right access
• Okta Identity Governance is the leading contributor to Okta’s new product bookings, and it runs inside some of the largest enterprises in the world — the kind of accounts where a single tenant carries hundreds of thousands of identities across thousands of applications
• Quality here is a compliance bar, not just a user experience one
• When a governance product has a defect, a company can stay over-provisioned on access it believes it revoked, or hand an auditor evidence that isn’t true
• As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test, you’ll own quality for medium-sized features on your scrum team, and co-own larger ones, from the first design review through release and into production
• You’ll turn the team’s test strategy into test plans, write the automation, and hold the release bar for features that have to work at enterprise scale — long-running certification campaigns, tenants with millions of entitlements, dozens of third-party connectors, and audit records that must be provably correct
• You’ll work alongside developers as an engineer, not a gatekeeper: reviewing designs and code, building the tools that make coverage cheap, and turning every escaped defect into automation that keeps it from coming back
• Review requirements and design specs, and write test plans that your scrum team reviews and builds against
• Join architecture and design reviews early so testability and risk analysis shape the feature before it’s built
• Automate at every layer — API, integration, end-to-end, and UI — and wire it into continuous integration as deterministic release gates
• Build scale, performance, and reliability tests for large-tenant campaigns, bulk entitlement operations, and high-volume imports
• Validate data integrity across systems: access that was revoked stays revoked, and audit reports match what actually happened
• Review application code, find weak spots, and build tools and frameworks that make future coverage faster to add
• Review teammates’ code and tests with an eye on reliability, performance, and security, and share what you learn across the team
• Troubleshoot complex issues across services, and improve how the team works — documentation, CI/CD, monitoring, and support processes
• Keep critical features fully automated so the team ships with zero test debt, and hunt down flaky tests
• Work with engineering management to scope and plan quality work across the team
• Partner with product managers, designers, and site reliability engineers to understand the business outcome behind each feature, including non-functional requirements
• Respond to production issues, alerts, and customer escalations during on-call rotation, and turn root causes into lasting automated coverage
• Advocate for the customer: work with field and customer success teams on customer issues, know how the largest tenants use the product and make sure those flows never break
