About Ping Identity:

At Ping Identity, we believe in making digital experiences both secure and seamless for all users, without compromise. We call this digital freedom.

Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.

While protecting digital identities is at the core of our technology, protecting individual identities is at the core of our culture. [We champion every identity.](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/company/championing-every-identity.html) One of our core values, Respect Individuality, reminds us to celebrate differences so you are empowered to bring your authentic self to work.

We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we have offices and employees around the globe. We serve the largest, most demanding enterprises worldwide, including more than half of the Fortune 100. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.

We're seeking an accomplished staff software engineer to join our PingOne Directory team and help drive the development of our industry-leading multi-tenant user store.

- Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement within an agile delivery team.
- Participate in an on-call support rotation for a multi-tenant SaaS product.
- Work remotely, with 1-2 days per week in our Austin-based office.

What you’ll bring:

- Extensive hands-on development experience delivering major features for products with complex user workflows.
- A product-minded approach to engineering, balancing technical constraints, scope, customer needs, and business goals.
- Experience using AI-assisted workflows to accelerate different parts of the software development lifecycle, such as design, code generation, testing, refactoring, and code review.
- Strong Java development experience, with a track record of applying object-oriented design principles to deliver high-quality, well-tested, maintainable software.
- Experience with Spring or similar Java frameworks.
- Experience designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs, ideally within a microservice architecture.
- Familiarity with containerized deployment environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
