• Build scalable APIs, frameworks, and reusable components that enable teams to rapidly create and deploy secure AI agents.
• Contribute to monitoring, evaluation, and governance features that make AI adoption safe, reliable, and enterprise-ready.
• Partner with Applied AI engineers, product managers, and designers to ensure the platform supports real-world use cases.
• Mentor engineers within the India team, raising the bar on technical craftsmanship and platform design.
• Stay current with advances in agentic AI, orchestration frameworks, and enterprise AI infrastructure.

What we are looking for:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in AI/ML platforms or intelligent automation.
• 5+ years  in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue) with the ability to build functional UI components, integrate APIs, and maintain design consistency.
• Knowledge on Python preferred, Java, Node.js, or Go.
• Expertise in AI agent frameworks (LangGraph preferred), orchestration systems, vector databases, RAG pipelines, and monitoring/observability.
• Strong background in distributed systems, APIs, microservices, container orchestration (ECS/EKS), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Experience building secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure for AI or ML workloads.
• Ability to influence architecture decisions, align with a global team, and set technical direction locally.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across time zones and global teams.

Why join us: 

At Okta, you’ll play a critical role in building the platform foundations that power enterprise AI. Your work will directly enable applied AI solutions that impact thousands of employees and customers, while ensuring AI adoption is smarter, faster, and always secure.
