Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack
Okta
Senior full-stack engineer at Okta Bengaluru, building new developer-facing products for the ISV ecosystem across NodeJS/TypeScript and React.
This full-time Bengaluru role was posted on 30 October 2026. The listing describes a full-stack team building a new set of developer-facing products for Okta's ISV ecosystem. Day to day, that means analyzing and refining requirements with product management, working with UX designers and architects to scope engineering efforts, and shipping across the stack. The listing asks for 4-6 years of software development experience, proficiency in scalable NodeJS (TypeScript/JavaScript) applications, and experience building responsive UI components in React.
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
The listing's emphasis on refining requirements with product management and driving clarity reads as a senior-engineer seat with real discovery work, not a ticket queue. Developer-facing products set a particular bar: your users are engineers at other software companies, so API design and documentation quality are product features. The 4-6 year band is narrower than most senior postings, which suggests a defined scope rather than a stretch-to-staff role.
The team and the work
The team context in the listing is Okta's ISV ecosystem work - tooling for independent software vendors building on Okta's identity platform. The stack named is NodeJS with TypeScript on the backend and React on the frontend, so the role suits engineers comfortable owning features across both.
What the employer asks for
These requirements are quoted from the employer's listing, kept in their exact words so eligibility details are not distorted:
- Have 4-6 years of software development experience.
- Proficient in building scalable and performant applications with NodeJS (Typescript, JavaScript)
- Experience building highly responsive UI components using React
- An understanding of asynchronous programming, its quirks and workarounds
- Demonstrable knowledge of HTTP fundamentals with strong API Design skills.
- Have experience working with at least one of the database technologies - MySQL, Redis, or PostgreSQL.
- Experience working with at least one cloud-native system of scale (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Experience with distributed systems patterns including caching, asynchronous processing etc.
Who this role suits
Full-stack engineers with 4-6 years, production TypeScript/NodeJS and React, who like working with product and design on requirements rather than receiving finished specs. Not for backend-only or frontend-only specialists.
Practical notes
For full-stack product roles like this one, interviews typically include a coding round, a system or API design discussion, and a project deep-dive. Prepare one story where you clarified ambiguous requirements with a product manager.
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.
