• Handle incident resolution, perform root cause analysis, and lead continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate with Product, Software Engineering, and Infrastructure teams to balance competing priorities.

• Five years of direct experience with Ping, LDAP, and directory structures.
• Three years of experience working with Ping Federate and Ping Directory or comparable identity federation and directory solutions.
• Three years of experience with a Java application server such as Web Logic, Web Sphere, Glassfish, or Apache Tomcat.

• Proficiency with Ping Federate and Ping Directory.
• Experience with identity protocols including SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and LDAP.
• Java development experience and experience coding in OGNL.
• Knowledge of web services such as REST, SOAP, and CGI.
• Familiarity with Windows, UNIX, and Active Directory operating platforms.
• Experience with the Atlassian Collaboration Stack and markup languages like XML/XHTML.

This is an opportunity to work on an enterprise platform ecosystem and have a direct impact on guest‑facing digital experiences.
