Principal Classified Systems Architect, Okta Federal
Okta, Washington, DC +1
What you will do
- Act as the central point for defining and evolving the architecture of Okta Federal’s SIPR/JWICS environments, ensuring alignment with DoD reference designs while tailoring them to Okta’s specific product needs.
- Design resilient, scalable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and blueprints for air-gapped environments, solving unique challenges related to disconnected operations, cross-domain solutions (CDS), and "sneaker-net" patch management.
- Collaborate closely with Product Engineering (ORD), Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), Business Application teams, Collaboration Engineering teams, and Security teams to translate complex compliance controls (DISA STIGs, RMF) into automated technical implementations that minimize friction for developers.
- Guide the selection and integration of "High Side" tools and technologies, prioritizing compliant, maintainable, and low-vulnerability solutions (e.g., utilizing Iron Bank hardened containers) that deliver a superior user experience for internal engineering teams.
- Review and approve architectural changes and major system upgrades across the classified boundary, ensuring that operational drift does not introduce security risks or break compliance postures.
