Spend on technology is one of the biggest items in an enterprise CFO’s budget, second only to headcount. Traditional procurement

Sunday Times' Tech 100 and named the fastest-growing startup in the UK and Ireland by the FT’s Sifted.
With headquarters in London and hubs in New York, Brno, Sydney, and Johannesburg, we are fundamentally reshaping the global B2B
economy.

ABOUT US Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview. We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law. Joining Legora means three things. * We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions. * We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback. * We grow together: as a team and with our customers. Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place. This is the most senior seat on the advisory ladder and the person our largest clients trust when it matters most. In legal AI, that trust is hard-won: matters run to fixed dates, data is privileged, and clients hold Legora to the same standard of care they apply to their own work. Part technical advisor, part incident lead, part operating model owner, you hold the technical health of Legora's most complex client relationships and define the playbook the whole function runs on. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Own the relationship: Hold the technical health and escalation outcomes for our Strategic Accounts, serving as their primary point of escalation and continuity, and read usage and adoption signals to get ahead of risk. * Lead in a crisis: Act as incident lead on Sev1 and Sev2 events, owning coordination, customer communication, and the path to resolution. Drive post-incident reviews as trust-building artifacts and product feedback loops, not just process checkboxes. * Set the standard: Define and own the escalation criteria, account-health model, and cross-team interfaces the function runs on. Build mechanisms that make the team consistent and not dependent on individual heroics. * Own the Technical Blueprint: Maintain the single source of truth for each account, including data setup, integrations, security and legal considerations, and workflow context. Carry technical context from implementation into the live relationship so nothing is lost in the handoff and the whole account team can rely on it. * Drive adoption and enablement: Run technical reviews and enablement sessions that deepen product usage, unlock new value, and keep customers current on the platform. * Partner proactively: Work with Engagement Managers (CSM function) on Quarterly Business Reviews that tie technical health to business outcomes. * Coordinate escalations: Align the Platform Consultants and the Technical Platform Expert around a single resolution path, holding customer-facing ownership while technical root cause is driven in parallel. * Stay close to the signal: Own the highest-stakes cases in the L2 queue for your assigned Strategic Accounts, and serve as the escalation point for Platform Consultants before an issue reaches the Technical Platform Expert, so you stay close to the ground truth of each account's technical health. WHAT YOU BRING * You have owned strategic, high-value B2B accounts and kept clients confident when things went wrong. * You have led incident response or major escalations under pressure, start to finish. * You communicate with executives as clearly as with engineers: confirmed facts, explicit trade-offs, named owners, and no speculation presented as certainty. * You build frameworks, not workarounds, and you raise the bar for everyone around you. * A background in legal AI, legal tech, or a regulated professional-services domain is a strong plus. WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU * Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across regions, on work that crosses every major legal market. * Meaningful work: Your work shapes how the world’s leading legal teams adopt AI day to day. * Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and the tools to do your best work. * In-person environment: A workspace built for ambitious builders. Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. THE IDENTITY TEAM The Identity team's mission is to secure the world's identity connections while building the foundational trust layer for the modern enterprise. As organizations successfully adopt phishing-resistant MFA, attackers have shifted their tactics—increasingly deploying Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing kits and info-stealer malware to execute session hijacking via cookie theft. Furthermore, with the explosive rise of autonomous AI workloads, securing human identity is no longer enough; we must now protect and govern a fast-growing sprawl of non-human, agentic workflows. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Principal Identity Engineer at Okta, you will be the cornerstone of our internal IAM team, driving the vision, strategy, and execution of our identity infrastructure. In this role, you will champion our "Customer Zero" philosophy, partnering directly with our product engineering teams to deploy Okta’s newest features, products, and capabilities internally before they ever hit the market. This is a highly autonomous, high-impact role for a technical leader who acts with a fierce sense of ownership and urgency. We are looking for someone who turns action into traction, ruthlessly simplifies complex problems, and scales solutions. You will not only raise your own bar but will actively pull the rest of the team up with you, serving as a mentor and strategic visionary. Working in close partnership with product, security, and engineering teams, you will influence the future of the platform by validating emerging capabilities, driving innovation, and ensuring the organization is ready to adopt new technologies—including AI-powered services and intelligent agents. As a trusted technical leader, you will mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, and help determine what’s next for the platform. RESPONSIBILITIES * Act as the primary bridge between internal stakeholders, IAM and Okta’s core Product teams. You will ensure Okta is the first to deploy its own cutting-edge capabilities, providing world-class, rigorous feedback to mature products and catch bugs before they reach global customers. * Serve as a foundational pillar and mentor for the IAM engineering team, fostering a culture of high performance, continuous learning, and technical excellence. * Embody the philosophy of "Move fast, simplify, and repeat." You will identify systemic inefficiencies, automate legacy processes, and champion agile execution. * Take initiative to identify what is needed next and lead the organization toward it. * Partner daily with cross-functional stakeholders to push the boundaries of identity security, modern authentication, and governance. * Act as both the architect and the technical implementer for key strategic initiatives, rolling up your sleeves to implement, guide, and validate critical deployments. * Regularly deliver clear, data-driven leadership updates, translating complex technical milestones and risks into strategic insights for Okta’s executive team. * Establish, track, and report on key performance metrics and KPIs to prove the health, security, and maturity of our IAM ecosystem. * Facilitate design strategy and successful execution of playbook adoption, planning, and intake processes. * Drive the secure adoption of AI technologies by designing, deploying, and governing AI agents and AI-enabled services within the enterprise. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS To be successful in this role, you should have deep, hands-on architectural experience across the modern identity and cloud infrastructure lifecycle. We are looking for a practitioner who understands both theory and real-world implementation. * 10+ years experience implementing and/or supporting enterprise IAM solutions * Expertise with industry IAM concepts and best practices, particularly relating to SSO, MFA, IGA, and PAM * Deep expertise in modern authentication protocols (OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0) and advanced multi-factor authentication paradigms, including FIDO2/WebAuthn, passkeys, and phishing-resistant MFA. * Comprehensive understanding of secure session lifetimes, token binding, token revocation strategies, and continuous access evaluation to mitigate session hijacking risks. * Proven experience designing and securing machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and cloud-native service-to-service authentication. * Deep knowledge of enterprise secrets management architectures (e.g. Okta Privileged Access) ensuring secure storage, dynamic rotation, and strict access controls. * Advanced proficiency using IaC tools, specifically Okta Workflows and Terraform, to manage identity configuration, access policies, and cloud infrastructure as code. * Strong background in integrating IAM configuration and testing into modern CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) to ensure safe, automated, and repeatable deployments. * Experience leading and developing other engineers * Leads by a automation first mindset * Occasional travel as required #P5614_3488197 #LI - hybrid The Okta Experience * Supporting Your Well-Being * Driving Social Impact * Developing Talent and Fostering Connection + Community We are intentional about connection. Our global community, spanning over 20 offices worldwide, is united by a drive to innovate. Your journey begins with an immersive, in-person onboarding experience designed to accelerate your impact and connect you to our mission and team from day one. Okta is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
