Python Job: 2023 Software Engineer, Delivery, May Graduate

We are seeking an exceptional Software Engineer with an interest in building software systems to manage and deploy reliable, performant infrastructure and product code at scale on a cloud infrastructure.

This engineer will join our group responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining services/frameworks that automates actions against production infrastructure. These services enable engineers across product and infrastructure engineering groups to safely, reliably and repeatedly execute runbooks and other actions on test, preview and production environments.

As part of this team, you will also work on new efforts to keep Okta's infrastructure practices at par with the best industry trends. You will also interface with teams involved with deployments, operations, product and data to address process bottlenecks with code and automate time consuming jobs. You will work hands-on with Kubernetes on GCP / AWS to help Okta's services run seamlessly in both cloud environments. You will also be involved in the maintenance and debugging of team owned services as part of incident response.

What you'll be doing

• Build, maintain and deploy tools that allow Okta's engineers to execute infrastructure production changes and deploy code
• Manage multiple environments spanning a globally distributed infrastructure.
• Improve environment visibility and management in a repeatable and automatable way.
• Collaborate with all engineering teams to improve overall product health and reliability.
• Respond to production incidents and determining how we can prevent them in the future
• troubleshooting complex production issues to ensure reliability and performance
• Build services/tools in Java, Python, Go or Ruby with a focus on automation and reliability
• Work cross functionally with Operations and Product teams to identify bottlenecks and manual processes. Build solutions that provide scale and reliability to address these issues
• Leverage industry best practices in infrastructure, automation, orchestration to explore greenfield opportunities that will form the basis of future infrastructure improvements.
• Identify areas for automation that are self-serviceable to reduce manual onboarding. Develop tools and processes to address these areas
• Work on improving the security posture of team owned services and infrastructure. This would involve base image maintenance, updating hosts with newer library versions from vendors as well as services with vulnerability free libraries if and when they are identified
• If eligible, you will work on Okta's Govcloud infrastructure. This would involve many of the same responsibilities outlined above in Govcloud environments

What we are looking for

• 2+ years of Software Development in Java, Go, Python, Ruby or similar backend languages
• Hands on instruction for current methods of building services, internal tools and frameworks
• Hands on instruction for current methods of automating and deploying large scale production services in AWS, GCP or similar
• Hands on instruction for current methods of years of hands on experience working with Kubernetes, with a good understanding of Kuberentes fundamentals
• Working knowledge of database technologies ( Mysql, MongoDB, NoSql databases etc)
• Experience using public cloud (GCP, AWS), Docker , Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, CI/CD(Spinnaker, Argo CD etc)
• Knowledge of infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform
• Proficient using Docker and supporting infrastructure and strong Linux and networking fundamentals
