Role Overview and Technical Requirements
We are going to need a strong team to support the transition, including the warranty period and ongoing support. I believe there are currently three requirements associated with this effort.
We are in the process of moving away from our existing platform and transitioning the remaining vendors into PingFederate. Some team members already have significant experience in this area and are also supporting the PingFederate work. However, we need an additional resource to help with the onboarding and migration of these vendors.
Position Focus
The job description references a full-stack developer with strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC) experience, including at least one developer with experience setting up inbound and outbound SSO. While the role is classified as a full-stack developer position, the primary focus will be broader than traditional application development.
The individual will be expected to work with:
Infrastructure as Code
CI/CD pipelines
AWS infrastructure
Deployment automation
Security and identity management (IAM)
Infrastructure and policy code
Java and Python
AWS/EKS and related cloud technologies
SSO and authentication
PingFederate - nice to have
The most important requirement is that the candidate understands identity management and security. Direct PingFederate experience would be beneficial, but it is not necessarily a requirement if the candidate has strong experience in identity management, security, DevOps, or a similar technology.
Ideal Candidate Profile
We are looking for someone who is truly comfortable working across the development and infrastructure lifecycle. Ideally, this person can build the application, create the infrastructure, develop the pipelines, and deploy the solution into production without relying heavily on another team.
One of the challenges we have seen with candidates who identify as full-stack developers is that they may have extensive development experience but limited exposure to deployment and production infrastructure. For this position, we need someone who understands how their code gets into production and is comfortable managing that process.
For example, if someone has strong Java, Python, and AWS experience but has not worked directly with PingFederate, that could still be a very strong candidate. We can teach them the specific tool. It is much more difficult to teach someone development, infrastructure, and policy-as-code fundamentals if their only experience is with the tool itself.
Candidates with previous experience in security, identity management, DevOps, or similar environments would be particularly attractive.
Experience Level
Ideally, we are looking for approximately five or more years of relevant experience. The position is aligned with a Level 3 / intermediate-level resource, generally representing approximately 5–7 years of experience, although we can be flexible for the right candidate.
Strong communication skills, initiative, and self-motivation are very important. We need someone who will be proactive, take ownership, and be comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment.
The ideal candidate is a strong full-stack/cloud developer who also understands infrastructure, CI/CD, security, and identity management. Direct PingFederate experience is preferred but not mandatory.
The priority is finding someone who can independently build, deploy, and support solutions across the development and infrastructure lifecycle rather than someone who only specializes in the PingFederate tool itself.
