Okta, Inc. - Staff Product Security Engineer

• 7+ years of experience in information security, with meaningful depth in application security, offensive research, or AI/ML security. • Demonstrated hands-on experience assessing LLM-integrated systems and agentic AI architectures—not just familiarity with the concepts, but evidence of having found real vulnerabilities in them. • Strong offensive mindset: the ability to model what an adversary does with an agentic system, identify where the model's reasoning or the orchestration layer breaks down, and construct scenarios that make the risk concrete. • Experience building security tooling and automation—scripts, scanners, detection logic, or evaluation harnesses—that other engineers actually use. • Proficiency in at least two programming languages (Python and one of: Go, Java, TypeScript, C/C++). • Advanced experience in threat modeling, manual code review, and penetration testing, applied to complex distributed systems. • Knowledge of authentication and authorization protocols (OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML) and their implementation risks. • Strong communication skills: the ability to write clearly for technical and non-technical audiences, document research findings with precision, and present at external venues. • Experience producing external security research—publications, conference talks, blog posts, or open-source tooling. • Familiarity with agentic framework internals (tool-use protocols, MCP, function-calling patterns, agent orchestration architectures). • Experience with SAST, DAST, SCA, and fuzzing tooling applied to AI/ML pipelines or CI/CD systems. • Strong cryptographic knowledge and experience in identifying cryptographic implementation flaws. • Ability to develop proof-of-concept exploits that demonstrate AI/agentic vulnerabilities to engineering and product leadership. • Experience contributing to security standards, SDL processes, or vulnerability research programs. • Below is the annual base salary range for candidates located in San Francisco Bay Area.
