Desirable

• The DevTools team sits in the center of all of our SaaS offerings
• Ping Identity offers critical Identity-as-a-Service products for enterprise customers, where reliability and security are highly valued
• To support this, Ping builds a bespoke platform-as-a-service on top of Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies allowing our product to be built reliably and securely
• The DevTools team owns the continuous delivery model and supporting tools of this platform, as well as self-service tooling for allowing product teams to confidently automate their infrastructure with reduced stack complexity
• It is our team’s mission to remove operational and knowledge barriers for developers to push changes to production, automating necessary manual gates, and to reduce the risk in a deployment by building a repeatable pipeline, in one of the world’s most highly secured development environments
• Our team works in three major focus areas:
• Build and support the continuous delivery capabilities of the platform, allowing product group teams to deploy to production continually and with minimal risk
• Build and support self-service infrastructure automation for common platform capabilities
• Build and support audit features and security controls for audit, legal and security stakeholders
• Day-to-day, you’ll also work with Kubernetes and Jenkins quite a bit. We also maintain Spring-Boot apps, Jenkins plugins, and building pipeline-as-code in both Jenkins and ArgoCD. Knowledge in Groovy, python, BASH, JSON, and anything Kubernetes are huge plus!
• As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for technical leadership: mentoring junior engineers, coaching engineering best practices, being a ‘thought leader’ by keeping current and up to date on emerging technologies, and being reliable for completing critical infrastructure work
• A good person in this role takes inspiration from new challenges and the ability to learn, grow, and innovate with like-minded people
