  • Collaborate with the SOC and Network teams to integrate identity signals into our broader security monitoring and incident response workflows.
  • Act as the subject matter expert for integrating PingFederate as the core Identity Provider (IdP) with third-party Zero Trust ecosystem components, including Privileged Access Manager (PAM), Master User Record (MUR) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).
  • Create and maintain authentication policies, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Risk-Based Authentication (RBA).
  • Knowledge of directory services (Active Directory, LDAP, Azure AD).
  • Familiarity with NIST 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture standards.
  • A security-first mindset with the ability to troubleshoot complex authentication handshakes.
  • Provide guidance and hands-on training for onboarding new applications into PingFederate using self-service templates, OIDC, and SAML to ensure consistent security standards across the enterprise.

  • Have an active Secret Government security clearance that requires U.S. citizenship
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 6 years of hands-on experience in ICAM (Identity, Credential, and Access Management) within enterprise or government environments.
  • Deep proficiency with PingFederate (OIDC, SAML, OAuth protocols).
  • Strong experience with Ping Access for protecting web applications and APIs at the gateway level.
  • Active CompTIA Security+ (or equivalent IAT Level II certification) to meet compliance requirements
