Staff Product Designer – Emerging Products

Get to know Okta

Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core of business security and growth.

At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We’re looking for lifelong learners who can help us improve with their unique experiences. Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

The design team is a distributed group that shares work early, gives honest feedback, and keeps things collaborative. We care about details and progress, learning along the way. Designers here have real ownership, influence product direction with engineering and product management, and shape experiences that reach millions worldwide. Some days we refine tricky flows; other days we sketch ideas for identity and developer tools.

At the Staff level, you’ll also mentor designers and set patterns that raise the bar for the whole team.

You’ll join our Emerging Products team, the group at Auth0 focused on building and scaling the next wave of identity and security capabilities. We take new ideas in areas such as AI, fine‑grained authorization, and developer experience, turning them into customer‑ready products.

We’re working on:

• AI + Identity: securing AI assistants and agents with identity‑aware authorization.
• Cross‑App Access: seamless, policy‑driven flows between apps and accounts.
• Fine‑Grained Authorization (FGA): real‑time, user‑specific access control down to the document level.
• Token Vault: simplifying secure storage and refresh of OAuth tokens from providers like Google, Salesforce, and AWS.
• AI Integrations: SDKs, frameworks, and integrations that help developers adopt emerging features with minimal friction.

• Partner with Product and Engineering to define roadmaps and bring clarity to ambiguous frontier problems.
• Design experiences across SDKs, CLIs, APIs, and web interfaces for developers.
• Simplify complex identity and authorization workflows into usable, scalable patterns.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system while experimenting with new patterns for emerging use cases.
• Collaborate with Research to run usability testing and translate insights into design improvements.
• Use both qualitative and quantitative data to validate design decisions and measure impact.
• Share work early and often, participating in critiques and collaborating across teams.
• Contribute to design culture at Okta, helping raise the bar for craft, collaboration, and systems thinking.

• 6+ years of experience in product design, ideally with developer platforms, B2B SaaS, or technical tools.
• Strong UI/UX/visual design craft, with a portfolio demonstrating systems thinking and end‑to‑end ownership.
• Experience designing for technical audiences (SDKs, APIs, developer tooling, or security products).
• Ability to translate highly technical or abstract problems into usable, elegant solutions.
• Comfort with ambiguity and thriving in fast‑moving, experimental environments.
• Strong communication skills; ability to explain design decisions and align stakeholders.

• Familiarity with front‑end development (React, NextJS, HTML/CSS/JS).
• Familiarity with emerging AI technologies (e.g., LLM prompting, Figma Make) and their application to UX design.
• Experience leveraging AI tools in your design process, with awareness of ethical and privacy considerations.
• Ability to attend in‑person onboarding in the office during the first week of employment.

This position is eligible for remote work. Travel to an office may be required for in‑person onboarding.
