About Okta for AI Agents
Okta for AI Agents is a new business unit focused on securing agentic identity. As enterprises move AI agents from pilots to production, they face fundamental questions: How do agents authenticate? How do you control what they can access? How do you govern agent-to-agent communication? We're building the products and go-to-market motion to answer these questions at scale.
This team reports to the SVP & GM, Okta for AI Agents, and operates with startup speed inside Okta. We're defining a new category.
Solutions Architect, Partner Solutions
As a Partner Solutions Architect, you will cultivate technical relationships with technology partners (AI platforms, cloud providers) and system integrators. You'll design integration architectures, build reference implementations, and enable partner teams to deliver AI security solutions on Okta's platform.
Working closely with our partnerships, product, and engineering teams, you'll shape how the partner ecosystem builds on Okta. Your architectures become the blueprints partners follow. Your enablement determines how well they deliver.
What you’ll be doing
- Strategic Technical Partnership: Serve as a technical thought partner to Okta's GTM partnerships team. Embed with partner technical teams to enable their AI security practices, support troubleshooting, and serve as an escalation point for complex technical issues.
- Integration Architecture: Design integration patterns between Okta's AI security platform and partners including Anthropic, Salesforce, ServiceNow, AWS, Azure, and Google. Build reference implementations and sample code that partners use to build and sell.
- Partner Enablement: Lead technical enablement for partner teams through workshops, certification programs, and office hours. Represent Okta at partner events, developer conferences, and joint customer engagements.
- Product Feedback: Translate partner integration patterns and deployment challenges into product requirements. Work with engineering to ensure our platform meets partner and customer needs.
What you’ll bring to the role
- 5+ years of experience in partner-facing technical roles such as Solutions Architect, Partner Engineer, or Technical Alliance Manager
- Track record of successfully partnering with technology vendors, GSIs, or cloud providers to solve complex technical challenges
- Strong foundation in identity and security: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token exchange, API security
- Hands-on experience with AI platforms and agent frameworks: Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, AWS Bedrock, LangChain, or similar
- Exceptional ability to build relationships and communicate technical concepts to diverse stakeholders, from engineering teams to executives
- Experience designing cloud architectures and integrating with enterprise systems
- Excitement for building in a fast-moving space where patterns are still being defined
- This is leading-edge work. AI agent security is new territory and you'll help define the integration patterns the industry follows. Expect high velocity, partner travel, and rapid iteration. We need builders who write code, create demos, and solve problems hands-on.
Show us your work: We value candidates who can demonstrate their experience. Share your GitHub, AI agents you've built, or examples of partner integrations you've designed.
