Equifax is where you can power your possible. If you want to achieve your true potential, chart new paths, develop new skills, collaborate with bright minds,  and make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you.

Take the helm of our mission-critical identity services, where you’ll be responsible for maintaining a zero-downtime environment for our most vital applications. You will lead the charge in sunsetting legacy credentials in favor of sophisticated passwordless journeys, all while integrating AI to optimize and self-heal our PingFederate infrastructure. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who views identity as the ultimate frontier of both user experience and enterprise resilience.

• This position is based out of our Alpharetta, Georgia office. 
• We believe great things happen when teams connect. Our schedule is built around 4 days of high-impact, in-office collaboration (Monday–Thursday), paired with Friday Flexibility to wrap up your week remotely. 
• This position does not offer immigration sponsorship (current or future) including F-1 STEM OPT extension support.
• This position is not open to third-party vendors or C2C. 
• In person interviews are required.

What you’ll do

• Perform as the technical lead for a high-performing squad of 10+ identity engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and "zero-downtime" operational discipline.
• Own the SSO Roadmap: Serve as the chief architect for our Tier 0 PingFederate environment, translating complex business requirements into scalable, secure, and resilient identity patterns.
• Act as an Incident Commander: Provide executive-level technical leadership during critical outages, ensuring rapid restoration of service and leading deep-dive post-mortems to prevent recurrence.
• Deploy Agentic AI Workflows: Build and oversee autonomous AI agents that monitor infrastructure health in real-time, enabling proactive anomaly detection and automated self-healing of the PingFederate cluster.
• Enforce Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Standardize all configuration and deployment pipelines using Terraform and GitOps, ensuring that the identity fabric is reproducible, version-controlled, and free from manual drift.
• Be a visionary who can move us toward a self-healing infrastructure, where automated agents orchestrate real-time recovery and optimization.

What experience you need 

• 10+ years of experience managing PingFederate in a high-availability, clustered environment.
• You have designed and deployed agentic AI workflows that proactively monitor system health to identify and mitigate potential outages before they impact the user base.
• Experience in "Zero-Downtime" upgrades, configuration replication, and managing mission-critical (Tier 0) authentication traffic where even a 5-minute outage is unacceptable.
• Proficiency in automating PingFederate deployments using Terraform, Ansible, or Jenkins.
• Ability to treat identity configurations as code to ensure consistency across dev, staging, and production environments.
• Beyond basic SSO, understanding of managing complex OAuth Grant Types, OpenID Connect (OIDC) policy management, and Token Exchange—critical for supporting modern mobile apps and AI-agent identities.
• Ability to be a Team Lead of up to 8-10 engineers. 

What could set you apart

• Developed agentic AI workflows that reduced Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) by 40% through automated self-healing.
• Maintained 99.99% availability for a PingFederate cluster supporting 50k+ concurrent sessions.
• Led the migration of 10,000+ users from legacy MFA (SMS/OTP) to phishing-resistant FIDO2/WebAuthn passwordless flows.
• Ping Identity Certified Expert – PingFederate (PFAA-001).
• Automated 100% of PingFederate configuration deployments using Terraform and GitOps, eliminating 95% of manual console errors.
• Designed custom OAuth 2.0 Grant Types and OpenID Connect (OIDC) policy fragments for 200+ integrated enterprise applications.
• You have been a Team Lead for a global team of 10+ IAM engineers, overseeing a $2M+ annual budget and cross-functional roadmap delivery.
