Senior Software Engineer - Backend, Workflows Operations

The Team

The Okta Workflows Services team’s mission is to help internal and external builders and developers integrate third party services with the Okta product suite. We do this by handling integration submissions from both internal and external developers – reviewing, testing, and publishing them. We also build and maintain best-in-class platform and tooling for internal developers to build, test, and deploy their Okta Integration Network (OIN) apps, workflow connectors, and action implementations.

The OIN allows Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), such as Google Workspace, Workday, Salesforce, Box, Slack, GitHub, and Atlassian, to integrate deeply with Okta that enterprises then use to give their workforce seamless access to the technology they need. 

Okta Workflows is a no-code platform for the automation of business processes, including user provisioning lifecycle management, using a library of integrated third-party applications and functions. By harnessing the power of the cloud, Okta allows people to quickly integrate different services, while still enforcing strong security policies. They integrate directly with an organization’s existing services such as directories and identity systems, as well as many other applications.
