# Oleg Andreyev > Principal Engineer | Okta Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/olegandreyev I am a strategic technical leader and Principal Software Engineer in Test at Okta, where I focus on the intersection of Product Quality, Resilience, and Delivery. As an owner of group-level KPIs, I drive large-scale initiatives that eliminate operational bottlenecks, optimize cloud-based delivery pipelines, and achieve significant cost savings. My career is defined by a commitment to software craftsmanship and the architecture of robust systems that empower engineering teams to deliver with both velocity and absolute confidence. My expertise spans the entire quality and resilience spectrum—from architecting mission-critical CI/CD systems to leading service incident management and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) deliverables. I specialize in mitigating technical debt and resolving complex system instability by pioneering AI-driven solutions for real-time debugging and automated failure resolution. With a leadership background in identity management, insurance, and government sectors, I conduct deep performance and scalability audits that ensure enterprise-level architectures remain reliable under the most demanding conditions. Beyond my core engineering leadership, I am a committed advocate for the global technical community, serving on the organization committee for the IEEE International Conference on Software Testing (ICST) and sharing expertise as a public speaker. I believe that technical excellence is inextricably linked to a culture of professionalism, respect, and inclusion. By fostering collaborative environments and mentoring the next generation of technical leaders, I help organizations navigate their most complex engineering challenges while upholding a high standard of excellence. ## Work Experience ### Principal Software Engineer in Test @ Okta Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area ### Staff Software Engineer in Test @ Okta Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Program Chair @ CI/CD Industry Workshop, ICST Jan 2025 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer, SDET @ Centene Corporation Jan 2016 – Jan 2021 Led agile development strategy and QA strategy across three software projects incorporating RESTful services, RabbitMQ, database/backend and front-end application coverage Expertise in ensuring total quality throughout every architectural tier incorporating Performance and Accessibility coverage analysis.
