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. And it's not just something we provide our customers. It's something that inspires our company. People don't come here to join a culture that's built on digital freedom. They come to cultivate it.
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. 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.

- Familiarity with observability platforms like New Relic, Grafana, and CloudWatch.
- Experience with CI/CD and automation tools like Jenkins and Artifactory.
- Strong Linux/UNIX administration skills, including troubleshooting and scripting.
- Solid grasp of networking principles in cloud-based environments.
- Understanding of security best practices and their implementation in production systems.

- Experience supporting high-traffic or mission-critical production services.
You have an advantage if:
- A background in software development or engineering.Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and how reliability fits within it.
