Application Integration Engineer

Job Title: Application Integration Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking an Application Integration Engineer to help modernize authentication patterns across approximately 28 legacy applications by guiding and supporting their adoption of standardized OIDC or SAML integration models. This role will work directly with application teams to help them adapt their applications to a centralized identity provider architecture using a defined target-state approach.

This is not purely a development role. The engineer will act as a hands-on technical advisor, integrator, troubleshooter, and enabler for application teams as they transition from siloed authentication methods to enterprise identity standards.

Key Responsibilities

Partner with application teams to integrate legacy and custom applications with a centralized identity provider using OIDC or SAML .

Serve as a technical guide for application modernization efforts related to authentication and authorization.

Help application teams understand and implement approved identity integration patterns and standards.

Assist with application-side updates needed to support centralized authentication, token handling, redirect flows, session management, and claims consumption.

Troubleshoot issues related to federation, login flows, authorization behavior, and role/claims mapping.

Work alongside IAM and Okta specialists to ensure application integrations align with platform standards and enterprise security requirements.

Help triage integration blockers, identify remediation paths, and accelerate onboarding across multiple applications in parallel.

Support intake and assessment of existing application authentication models and recommend the best-fit integration path.

Contribute to implementation playbooks, onboarding guidance, and repeatable integration patterns for broad adoption.

Support pilot integrations and help refine patterns before scaling across the full application set.

Participate in working sessions with client engineering teams and provide practical hands-on guidance.

Required Qualifications

5+ years of experience in application integration, software engineering, IAM integration, or related roles.

Strong hands-on experience with OIDC and SAML integrations.

Experience integrating applications with enterprise identity providers.

Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, tokens, claims, sessions, and federation flows.

Experience working with development teams to modify application authentication patterns.

Ability to assess legacy application constraints and identify practical modernization approaches.

Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across app and identity integration layers.

Ability to communicate technical guidance clearly to both engineering and project stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience integrating legacy applications into Okta or other centralized IdP platforms.

• Familiarity with application modernization in enterprise environments.

• Experience with Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, or other common enterprise app stacks.

• Experience with API security, secure session handling, and access control implementation.

• DevSecOps or secure application engineering background.

• Exposure to regulated, federal, or large-scale enterprise environments.
