The listing also mentions presenting at local and regional events.

What you will do

Support our customers along their sales journey by showing them the value of the Okta technology through live demonstrations and sales presentations.
Sell directly to IT managers, developers, product managers, and occasionally more senior executives across various industries..

Maintain a broad and deep technical understanding of the Okta product line and the underlying technologies and protocols

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:

A minimum of 5 years of working experience in IAM or a related SaaS field as a pre-sales engineer.
Expertise or hands-on experience in IAM, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, passwordless authentication, universal directory, privileged access, and device access is preferred.
Experience working with REST APIs and SDKs.
Ability to communicate complex ideas and solutions, incorporating white-boarding, practical examples, and product demonstrations.
Experience in a customer-facing role such as consulting, customer support, or pre-sales.
Strong empathy, listening skills and time management skills.

Who this role suits

Presales engineers with 5+ years in IAM or adjacent SaaS who like being on stage - this role is measured on demos and POCs, not code shipped. Strong fit for solution consultants at identity, security or SaaS vendors. Not for engineers who prefer to stay behind the keyboard all day.

Practical notes

Prepare a demo narrative: presales loops typically include a mock demonstration, so pick an Okta use case and practice telling the story to both an IT manager and a developer. REST API and SDK experience is explicitly required, so keep it technical, not just slideware.
