Software Engineer (iOS)

Our vision is to free everyone to safely use any technology. We promise to make identity work for everyone—whether you’re a developer looking to innovate or a security professional looking to mitigate. We are looking for curious, excited, boundary-pushing team members. So, if you’re a big thinker who is nimble and adaptable, Okta may be an ideal place to shine.

Okta’s Customer Identity Cloud (CIC), powered by Auth0 technology, is an easy-to-implement authentication and authorization platform designed by developers for developers. We make access to applications safe, secure, and seamless for more than 100 million daily logins around the world. Our modern approach to identity enables this Tier 0 global service to deliver convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation.

We are looking for a collaborative, developer-focused SDE2 iOS Engineer to join our Universal Components team.

You UNDERSTAND developers! You know what they need, how to talk to them, how to make their lives easier, and what turns friction into delight. You recognize when a framework, library, or product provides an exceptional developer experience.

As an iOS Engineer on the Universal Components team, you will leverage that developer-first mindset to build and maintain our open-source UI components and SDKs. You will contribute to refining our entire developer journey—from onboarding, quickstarts, and documentation to providing direct assistance in developer channels. Your contributions will directly reach thousands of customer applications and carry a high impact across the mobile ecosystem.

You will act as an internal and external advocate for the iOS platforms and technologies you work with daily. Collaborating in a cross-functional environment alongside developer relations, onboarding, growth, dashboard, and core SDK teams, you will help deliver a world-class experience for our component libraries.

The most vital qualifications for this position are solid software engineering fundamentals, strong empathy for developers, and a collaborative mindset.

• Building Modular UI: Designing and developing composable, high-quality UI components from the ground up using SwiftUI.
• SDK Development: Shaping and evolving our open-source Universal Components iOS SDK, ensuring seamless integration with core identity and authentication services.
• Authoring Developer Resources: Writing, curating, and polishing technical content, including tutorials, guides, sample applications, and clear documentation.
• Community & Advocacy: Engaging directly with the open-source developer community, championing modern developer experience, and providing technical support.
• 3 to 5 years of professional experience in native iOS development.

• A strong interest in developing reusable iOS libraries and SDKs consumed by third-party developers.
• Solid understanding of modern iOS frameworks, Swift best practices, and the broader Apple ecosystem.
• Experience building or contributing to at least one shipped iOS application or public SDK using SwiftUI.

• Familiarity with CI/CD platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI) and running automated mobile tests in continuous integration pipelines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a proven track record of authoring developer documentation or technical content.
• A collaborative approach to engineering, with the ability to self-direct and execute independently while thriving in a globally distributed team.
