Senior Android engineer on Okta's Access Management team in Bengaluru, building foundational components for the company's mobile authentication products.

This full-time Bengaluru role was posted on 29 October 2026. The listing describes the Access Management Engineering Team, which builds the foundation for authentication and authorization across Okta-protected resources, and places this role on the Android Client Foundations team designing foundational blocks and core platform components for Okta's mobile products. Responsibilities include designing and delivering secured elements for Okta products and upholding programming standards through code review and unit, functional and UI tests. The listing seeks a highly technical engineer with deep expertise in the Android application platform and SDKs.

About Okta

Okta builds identity and access management software: workforce identity (single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, lifecycle management) and customer identity products, plus Auth0 for developers. Its own listings describe the mission as securing every identity, from AI to human.

Okta runs a large engineering centre in Bengaluru working on core product areas, alongside its global offices. Listings for India roles cover engineering, security, SRE and business technology functions. Learn more on Okta's website.

The role in plain terms

Client foundations work differs from feature work: you build the components other mobile engineers rely on, so API design, stability and testing discipline are the job. The security context raises the bar further - authentication code on a device handles credentials and tokens, where mistakes are serious. The listing's explicit mention of unit, functional and UI testing signals the team treats test coverage as part of the engineering standard.

The team and the work

Per the listing, the role collaborates closely with product managers, designers and backend engineers to translate requirements into solutions, so the work is not heads-down SDK-only; it connects mobile components to Okta's broader authentication services.

Who this role suits

Android engineers with deep platform and SDK experience who want to work on security-relevant foundational components. Strong fit for engineers who have built libraries or SDKs used by other teams. Not for Android developers whose experience is limited to app UI features.

Practical notes

For mobile platform roles, expect deep Android internals questions - lifecycle, threading, storage, security primitives like the keystore - plus a code-review or design exercise. A library or SDK you built is the best portfolio material.

Working at Okta

Engineering work at Okta centres on identity infrastructure at high scale: authentication, authorization, directory and security services that sit on the critical path of customer logins.
