Leverage PingOne DaVinci to orchestrate low-code identity workflows and integrate third-party security services.
Utilize Ping REST APIs and scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) to automate operational tasks, monitoring, and administrative functions.
Support Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) processes by integrating Ping stack components with upstream identity sources and downstream SPs.
Collaborate with App Owners and Security teams to migrate legacy applications to modern protocols (OIDC/OAuth 2.0/SAML2.0/SCIM).
Troubleshoot complex authentication issues, latent LDAP queries, and synchronization errors across the Ping ecosystem.
Create and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and automated operational run books.
Minimum Requirements
