Job Summary

Secure Every Identity from AI to Human

Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. Were all in on this mission. If you are too lets talk.

The Role

Youll join the team designing Okta for AI Agents one of Oktas newest and most critical strategic initiatives providing identity management access control and governance for AI agents and non-human identities. Our customers are IT and security admins AI developers and system architects who need to safely deploy and govern how AI agents interact with corporate data tools and production environments.

As a designer on this team youll own key workflows end-to-end from early-stage concepting of novel interaction models (theres no established pattern library for agentic permissioning yet) to hardening flows for scale as the product matures. Youll partner closely with product managers engineers researchers and content designers and work closely with our Principal and Staff designers to turn ambiguous highly technical agentic problems such as delegation policy audit and trust boundaries between humans and agents into experiences that feel simple and safe. Youll be expected to bring sound design judgment to problems that dont have precedent to borrow from and to actively experiment with how AI can be woven into your own design process from exploration to prototyping.

What you will do
  • Own key workflows end-to-end from early-stage concepting of novel interaction models where few established patterns exist yet through hardening and polishing flows as the product matures and scales to millions of customers.
  • Bring a systems-thinking lens to connect user insights with business goals creating experiences that keep customers and their users and AI agents safe every day in this rapidly evolving space.
  • Design experiences across multiple personas i.e Security Admins AI Engineers Enterprise End-users and IT Admins tackling complex scenarios like AI agent lifecycle management permission scoping human-in-the-loop authorization and policy enforcement across the Okta portfolio.
  • Contribute to scalable usable design patterns for non-human identity and agent management and security that hold up under scale meet a high bar for quality and improve consistency across the product.
  • Regularly present work concepts and new ideas to cross-functional partners and senior leadership driving alignment and gathering input to sharpen your designs.
  • Actively experiment with AI in your design process using AI tools for brainstorming rapid prototyping exploring edge cases and iterating on solutions while developing judgment on where AI genuinely accelerates the work versus where it doesnt and sharing those learnings with the team.
What we are looking for
  • You keep user goals at the heart of your solutions while skillfully balancing business objectives and engineering constraints.
  • You stay grounded in delivering real user value even when moving fast and are able to connect the dots across a fast-moving high-stakes portfolio without losing sight of the person on the other end of the workflow.
  • You move fluidly between big-picture systems thinking and detail-oriented execution equally comfortable mapping how a workflow fits into the broader agentic AI landscape as you are polishing a single interaction.
  • You thrive in ambiguous environments and are energized by defining patterns user flows and system paradigms where none exist yet.
  • You treat iteration as the method not a fallback. This space has few existing parallels to draw from requirements shift as the underlying technology evolves and the only reliable way forward is shipping learning and adapting quickly rather than waiting for certainty.
  • You see design as a true partner to PM and Engineering in shaping both strategic direction and operational product and UX outcomes.
  • Youre comfortable owning all stages of design from early discovery through final execution and handoff and collaborating closely across design product and engineering to get there.
  • You are capable and have experience conducting basic usability tests for your design work.
  • You have experience working within design systems both adhering to existing patterns and contributing new ones back as the system evolves.
  • Youre genuinely curious about AI and have hands-on experience incorporating it into your design process. From experimenting to figure out what actually works versus what doesnt creating shared skills and workflows iterating on ideas collaboratively with AI and documenting effective prompts for reuse by others.
  • Your portfolio shows youve tackled complex technical problem spaces with a demonstrated interest and ability to dive deep into technical subject matter and translate that complexity into concepts anyone can understand.
  • Youre comfortable operating in a high-pressure high-velocity environment where priorities can shift quickly and you bring the resilience and adaptability to keep producing high-quality work under that pressure.
  • You share our values and work in accordance with them.
  • Uses quantitative metrics to inform design decisions by working/using outputs from analytics tools.
Qualifications
    • Degree in a related field or relevant work experience as a Product Designer or UX Designer.
    • Proficient in Figma or similar design tools.
    • At least a basic understanding of HTML CSS and JavaScript.
    • A digital portfolio showing depth across a variety of projects including work that shipped and was used in real products. (Portfolio link required when applying.)
    • 5 years of experience as a Product Designer.
    • Experience designing for a product with a technical audience as customers.
