Product Design Architect

Overview

At Okta, we're building a world where anyone can safely use any technology, and, within Okta Platform R&D, we're specifically focused on protecting the future of work. We bring simple and secure access to people and organizations everywhere, promising to not only protect the identities of our customers' workforce and users, but to ask, "what more can we make possible?"

As a Product Design Architect, you are the lead designer for the entire Okta platform. You ensure that all our products work together as one cohesive, simple, and secure experience. You will define the design vision, set company-wide standards, and influence high-level strategy alongside executive leadership.

Where Principal Product Designers own the UX strategy within product and portfolio areas, you'll own the design architecture that connects them at the Okta-wide level, setting the innovation agenda, establishing standards across portfolios, and ensuring that Okta's products define what great identity experiences look like, both inside our walls and in the industry.

This role sits at the intersection of design craft and strategic leadership. You'll work across R&D organizations, partnering with product and engineering leadership to make decisions that have broad, lasting impact on how millions of users navigate, understand, use, and trust Okta's products.

This role shapes the highest-order design strategy across Okta's full product portfolio. You will lead company-wide discovery efforts and work hand-in-hand with product leadership and executive teams to translate business ambitions into compelling, human-centered product visions.

You will establish best practices and raise design fluency across the entire Research & Development organization. You will help refine the structural design decisions that product teams build within: the platform-level IA, cross-product navigation models, shared interaction paradigms, and the design governance processes that ensure those standards hold over time.
