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 are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.

Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

About the Role

We are seeking a dynamic Presales Architect to join our team of identity security experts. In this role, you will leverage your technical expertise and business acumen to drive customer success, helping organizations modernize and secure their identity ecosystems. As a trusted advisor, you will collaborate with enterprise customers, channel partners, and internal teams to deliver innovative identity and access management (IAM) solutions that align with business goals.

This role requires a balance of strategic thinking, technical depth, and exceptional communication skills to translate complex identity challenges into solutions that address customer needs. You’ll play a pivotal role in accelerating sales cycles, enabling technical wins, and shaping the future of identity in your region.

The Opportunity

Reporting into the APJ Office of the Field CTO, this role will be challenged daily to show prospects and customers how Okta can help solve their business challenges.  We are searching for individuals that have experience deploying identity and access management solutions in large and complex environments.  This hands-on experience and exposure to the operational aspect of real customer deployments is what sets you apart and provides credibility to the architectures you design and propose.

  • Address regional compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOX, APRA) and navigate micro / macro-economic factors affecting IT budgets and workforce needs.
  • Represent the company as a technical leader at customer meetings, industry events, and webinars.
  • Create and deliver a region-specific, identity-centric security narrative that incorporates industry trends, regulatory considerations, and the evolving threat landscape, while addressing macro / microeconomic headwinds and tailwinds impacting key industries.
  • Collaboration & Stakeholder Alignment
  • Partner with account teams(AEs + SEs) to define account strategies and drive customer success.

  • Act as a conduit between customers and product teams, ensuring feedback informs the product roadmap.

  • Provide guidance at Deal Stage 0 / 1, assisting Partners and Solution Engineers (SEs) in understanding customer needs, recommending architectural approaches, and aligning solutions with best practices.
  • Act as an overlay support resource for complex opportunities, helping SEs craft tailored strategies that address unique customer challenges while accelerating deal velocity.
  • What you’ll bring to the role

  • Technical Skills
  • A passion to serve the customer, which has played out in some customer-facing role like consulting or support

  • Hands-on experience with APIs, SDKs (eg. [Javascript, HTML, frontend frameworks] development, mobile [iOS, Android] development, backend [Java, C#, Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby]), and developer tooling for identity integrations.
  • Business & Strategic Skills
  • Ability to align technical solutions with business outcomes and articulate ROI to stakeholders.

  • Familiarity with regional compliance and regulatory frameworks, tailoring solutions to meet specific requirements.
  • Awareness of threat landscapes and emerging risks, including AI-driven attacks, insider threats, and privilege misuse.
  • Soft Skills
  • Strong presentation skills leveraging multiple mediums like whiteboarding, capable of engaging technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Exceptional collaboration skills to work across customers, partners, and internal teams.
  • A problem-solving mindset with the ability to adapt to evolving requirements and priorities.
  • Confidence dispensing knowledge to a highly skilled and experienced audience.
  • Preferred Experience

  • 8+ years in presales, solution architecture, or a related field within the identity security space.
  • At least 4+ years of hands-on experience as a Solution Architect, designing and delivering complex identity and access management(IAM) solutions in enterprise environments.
