Delivery Centric is seeking an experienced
Identity Engineer

Ping Identity and/or ForgeRock

Go and/or Java
to deliver secure and scalable identity solutions.
What You'll Do
Design, implement, and maintain identity solutions using Ping Identity (PingFederate, PingAccess, Ping Directory, PingOne) and/or ForgeRock (AM, IDM, DS, IG) products.
Build and maintain authentication and authorization flows: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, MFA, and password less/adaptive authentication.
Develop custom plugins, nodes/authentication trees, policy scripts, and extensions in Java or Groovy (ForgeRock) or via SDKs/APIs (Ping).
Build and integrate backend services and APIs in Go or Java that consume or extend IAM platform capabilities (token issuance, session management, user provisioning, etc.).
Configure and manage federation with external Identity Providers/Service Providers (B2B, B2C, partner integrations).
Own directory services architecture (LDAP/DS) including schema design, replication, and performance tuning.
Automate deployment and configuration using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible) and CI/CD pipelines.
Troubleshoot production identity issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive resolution with minimal downtime.
Ensure solutions meet security, compliance, and audit requirements (OWASP, NIST, ISO *****, PCI-DSS, or relevant regulatory standards).
Collaborate with security, platform, and application teams to define IAM standards and best practices.
Participate in on-call rotation for critical identity infrastructure.
Must-Have Qualifications
4+ years of hands-on experience
with
Ping Identity (PingFederate/PingAccess/PingOne) and/or ForgeRock (AM/IDM/DS/IG) platforms.
Solid understanding of identity protocols:
OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML 2.0, SCIM, WS-Fed.
Working proficiency in
Go or Java
for building
backend services, custom authentication nodes, or API integrations.
Experience with
LDAP directory services
(design, tuning, replication).
Familiarity with containerized/cloud environments (
Docker, Kubernetes
) and cloud platforms (




AWS/Azure/GCP
).
Experience with CI/CD tooling and
Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.).
Strong understanding of
security fundamentals
: TLS, encryption at rest/in transit, secrets management, least-privilege access.
Excellent troubleshooting skills across
distributed systems and network layers (HTTP, TCP/IP, DNS).
Nice-to-Have
ForgeRock or Ping certifications (e.g., ForgeRock Certified Access Management/Directory Services Specialist, Ping Certified Skilled).
Experience with adaptive/risk-based authentication and fraud detection integrations.
Exposure to financial services or other highly regulated environments.
Experience with API gateways (Apigee, Kong, PingAccess as gateway) and microservices architecture.
Familiarity with policy-as-code and zero-trust architecture principles.
Scripting experience in Groovy, Python, or Bash for automation.
