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. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.
This role sits in our Platform Engineering team, which delivers features and design work that spans the Ping platform. The team is focused on building Ping's identity for AI offerings to secure and govern AI agents.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can turn ideas into production capabilities and work well in a fast-paced, collaborative, cross-functional, and global team.
The ideal applicant will bring strong software development experience, sound technical judgment, creative problem-solving skills, and a passion for research, innovation, and experimentation. They will be excited by work that spans products, services, APIs, models, and user experiences, and by using AI tooling as a practical part of the engineering workflow to accelerate discovery and delivery.
This is an opportunity to contribute to features that help customers identify, secure, and govern AI agents.
You Will
- Deliver IAM (Identity & Access Management) capabilities across the Ping platform encompassing the whole stack from infrastructure and databases through to UI experiences
- Contribute to the design and implementation of APIs, models, workflows, orchestration surfaces, and services
- Research and prototype solutions in emerging areas, working with senior technical leaders and product teams to turn validated ideas into product features
- Work closely with product management, UX, and engineering teams across Ping to refine features and designs to deliver elegant, usable, and scalable outcomes for customers
- Participate in development life cycle activities such as design, coding, testing, rollout, and production support
- Use modern AI tooling such as Claude Code as part of day-to-day engineering work to accelerate research, code understanding, prototyping, implementation, and documentation while maintaining strong engineering judgment
- Communicate clearly, share knowledge, and support other engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and delivery
- Thrive in a rapidly changing environment, continuously adapting to evolving customer needs, technology trends, and new ways of working
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
