About this role
Leading a developer platform engineering team at Ping Identity means owning the infrastructure that enables 400+ engineers to ship code safely and at scale. You'd manage a globally distributed group of senior and staff engineers while setting technical direction for the continuous delivery model, CI/CD pipelines, and build systems supporting PingOne's multitenant SaaS platform. This role requires both hands-on technical depth—architecture reviews, design leadership, and direct problem-solving in Jenkins, Kubernetes, AWS, and infrastructure-as-code—and strong people leadership across North America and India.
The position sits at the intersection of platform engineering and product thinking. You'd treat developer tooling as a product, defining "paved roads" and self-service workflows that accelerate productivity, while establishing operational rigor around observability, incident response, and root cause analysis. A significant part of the mandate involves driving adoption of AI-enabled capabilities to improve reliability and automate failure remediation across the platform.
This is best suited to someone with 5+ years of engineering management experience leading platform or DevTools teams, backed by 8+ years of hands-on development in Java, Python, Groovy, or shell scripting in cloud environments. You'll need a proven track record running developer platforms for 100+ engineers, deep expertise in modern CI/CD architectures, and the ability to operate at a Principal-level technical bar while scaling a team. The salary range is $157,248–$224,640, and the role is fully remote.
