Ping Identity is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the evolution of their global, multi-tenant SaaS identity platform serving millions of identities and more than half of the Fortune 100. This is a high-impact technical leadership role focused on designing and implementing scalable, resilient distributed systems.
Key responsibilities include leading the design of distributed systems capable of handling rapid global growth while maintaining low latency; partnering with SRE and DevOps teams to enhance CI/CD pipelines, automated scaling, and self-healing infrastructure; driving rigorous design reviews and fostering a culture of high-quality, maintainable code; and championing the technical adoption of AI across both product capabilities and the software development lifecycle.
Mandatory technical skills include deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot for building high-scale microservices (connection pooling, JVM tuning, asynchronous programming, cache management, REST API design); strong understanding of Apache Kafka for event-driven architectures (consumer groups, partitioning, tenant fan-out, event sourcing, exactly-once processing); hands-on experience with LDAP and OpenSearch for large-scale identity and search workloads; strong experience designing and operating applications on AWS; working knowledge of React.js; and experience designing resilient, highly available, multi-tenant distributed systems with strong observability.
Desirable skills include Identity and Access Management (IAM) expertise (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM provisioning, SAML federation); identity lifecycle management knowledge; Kubernetes and container orchestration experience; and experience building enterprise SaaS platforms with stringent security and compliance requirements.
Minimum 10+ years of software engineering experience required, with 4+ years in a Staff role focused on large-scale SaaS. BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience preferred. Ping Identity offers a flexible, collaborative work environment with a culture that empowers talented professionals to do their best work.
