AI Infrastructure Architect

Overview

AI Infrastructure Architect. We are looking for a smart and versatile AI Infrastructure Architect to build and evolve the AI infrastructure and platform that powers our identity security solutions. Your work will enable internal teams and product groups to integrate AI capabilities safely, securely, and at scale—empowering Okta’s mission to protect millions of digital identities worldwide. While your primary focus will be to architect scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure supporting AI-driven tools, frameworks, and identity services, we value someone who isn’t afraid to get hands-on when needed to help solve complex challenges and drive projects forward.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, security, data science, and product teams to align AI platform architecture with business and security goals.
• Architect scalable, resilient, and secure AI infrastructure that supports AI-powered tools and features across Okta’s Identity Platform.
• Lead infrastructure decisions across AWS, GCP, or hybrid environments with a focus on secure identity data handling.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code frameworks (e.g., Terraform, Helm) to ensure consistent, reproducible deployment of AI services.
• Champion security and compliance by embedding data privacy and identity protection standards directly into the AI platform and infrastructure design.
• Serve as the key advocate and strategist for AI-driven efficiency initiatives across infrastructure platform teams and pre-production systems.
• Implement robust MLOps practices, such as model evaluation, rollback strategies, and A / B testing, to guarantee the reliability and governance of AI in production.
• Drive continuous innovation by staying current with AI and cloud infrastructure trends and evangelizing best practices internally.
