About the team

As part of our vision to Free Everyone to Safely Connect to any Technology, Okta is investing in a new team to help B2B / Enterprise SaaS companies showcase their integrations with Okta Integration Network (OIN) platform via a full-featured catalog and drive engagement and adoption through sophisticated analytics & telemetry.

This involves redesigning the technical architecture & the user experience of the OIN catalog to allow for expansion across multiple categories of integrations along with building analytical & telemetry tools on top of it to drive more ISVs to build with Okta. We are constantly thinking about fostering network effects on the existing OIN Platform by designing for reach, scale and extensibility. 

Join us in building the next generation of the Okta, as we increase its footprint to even broader capabilities and showcasing them.
