Okta's vision is to be the foundation for secure connections between people and technology. Thousands of customers rely on Okta's services and APIs for security and identity in mission-critical applications for their own customers and end-users.
Creating a good developer experience is key to our vision. When a developer visits Okta's documentation or signs up for our developer trial, we want it to be intuitive and straightforward to add Okta to their application. That starts with great documentation, a clear onboarding process, and good SDKs for popular languages… and grows from there!
We're looking for a product manager to own the end-to-end experience for developers. That means everything from building new SDKs to making documentation delightful to lowering friction in emails. We're seeking someone who feels empathy for the developer persona and advocates for great developer experience. Come join a team building the future of identity on the web!
