Product Manager, Developer Experience (SDK)

Ping Identity is dedicated to making digital experiences secure and seamless. As the Product Manager for Developer Experience, you will champion developers building on Ping’s IAM platform, ensuring a seamless integration experience across various platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Drive Developer Adoption: Own the product strategy and roadmap for Ping’s Orchestration SDK across Web, iOS, Android, and Hybrid frameworks, turning complex IAM capabilities into highly adoptable developer tools
• Champion Developer Experience (DX): Partner with the technical documentation and developer relations teams to deliver world-class documentation, quick-start guides, and sample apps that developers love to use
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Work closely with core Engineering and PM teams across the organization to ensure the SDK seamlessly exposes new identity capabilities and aligns with broader platform releases
• Gather Developer Insights: Actively engage with customers, partner engineers, and the open-source community to gather technical requirements, map developer journeys, and translate feedback into a prioritized backlog
• Evangelize the Product: Write technical blog posts, participate in developer forums, and create content that highlights SDK capabilities and modern integration patterns
• Execute the Vision: Manage the product lifecycle from concept to release, maintaining a well-groomed backlog, defining clear success metrics (e.g., SDK adoption, integration time), and ruthlessly prioritizing high-impact work
• Stay Ahead of the Curve: Continuously monitor evolving app development trends (e.g., Swift/Kotlin updates, cross-platform frameworks like Flutter/React Native) and next-generation identity standards to keep Ping’s SDK cutting-edge
• Incorporate AI-Focused Mindset: Seek to make mobile and web app integration more effective by staying ahead on AI-related trends (e.g., Agent Skills) as well as broader developer experience how that relates to agents and developers
• Contribute to wider developer-experience: Constantly assess how to improve Ping’s developer-experience holistically, contributing to wider forums and championing original ideas

• A keen product sense for 'clean code' and developer ergonomics
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or similar as part of day-to-day engineering or product workflows
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to translate complex architectural concepts into clear product requirements for engineering, and compelling narratives for external stakeholders
• Experience defining and executing a product roadmap based on market trends, competitive analysis, and customer feedback while managing a product backlog in an agile environment
