Job description

About Ping Identity:

At Ping Identity, we believe in making digital experiences both secure and seamless for all users, without compromise. We call this digital freedom. And it's not just something we provide our customers. It's something that inspires our company. People don't come here to join a culture that's built on digital freedom. They come to cultivate it.

Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.

While protecting digital identities is at the core of our technology, protecting individual identities is at the core of our culture. We champion every identity. One of our core values, Respect Individuality, reminds us to celebrate differences so you are empowered to bring your authentic self to work.

We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we have offices and employees around the globe. We serve the largest, most demanding enterprises worldwide, including more than half of the Fortune 100. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.

Senior UX Design Developer

Location: Remote (UK-based)

Team: UX Design

Hybrid role blending user experience design and frontend prototyping

At Ping Identity, we believe the best user experiences are designed through exploration, iteration, and hands-on prototyping. We're looking for a Senior UX Design Developer who thrives at the intersection of design and code—someone equally comfortable designing experiences and bringing them to life in code.

You'll use code as a design tool—not simply as an implementation medium—to explore ideas, validate interactions, and shape product direction. As design and implementation continue to converge through modern frontend tooling and AI-native workflows, we're looking for someone excited to help define what that future looks like at Ping Identity.

As part of our UX team, you'll help shape the experiences customers use to discover, configure, manage, and get the most out of Ping Identity's products. Working closely with designers, product managers, researchers, and engineers, you'll transform ideas into interactive prototypes that validate concepts, influence product direction, and help ensure exceptional implementation quality across our products and supporting experiences.

What You'll Do

• Prototype interactive user experiences in code to explore, communicate, and validate ideas.
• Rapidly prototype workflows, interactions, and usability concepts before implementation.
• Design user experiences for complex enterprise SaaS applications and supporting customer experiences.
• Collaborate with product managers, UX researchers, designers, and engineers to define requirements and shape product direction.
• Partner with engineering throughout development to ensure designs are implemented with exceptional quality and attention to detail.
• Advocate for design quality by reviewing implementations and helping ensure the final product reflects the original design intent.
• Balance user needs, accessibility requirements, technical constraints, and business goals.
• Use modern design tools to explore concepts, communicate visual design, and contribute to our design system.
• Build prototypes using modern frontend technologies including React, Vue, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Contribute to the evolution of our design system, reusable UI patterns, and coded component libraries.
• Leverage AI-native design and development tools to accelerate ideation, generate realistic prototype data, build interactive experiences, and explore multiple design directions.
• Design and prototype AI-assisted experiences such as conversational interfaces, guided configuration, and intelligent recommendations.
• Champion thoughtful UX practices and contribute to Ping's growing design culture.
• Provide constructive design feedback and mentor other designers through critique and collaboration.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in UX Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years of experience in UX design, frontend development, or a hybrid design/development role.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating both thoughtful UX design and interactive coded prototypes.
• Expert proficiency with modern UX design tools and component-based design systems.
• Experience building interactive applications using React, Vue, or similar modern frontend frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, CSS, responsive design, and frontend best practices.
• Experience using code as a prototyping medium—not just for production implementation.
• Experience working with component-based design systems and frontend component libraries.
• Solid understanding of accessibility standards and WCAG guidelines.
• Excellent interaction design skills and attention to visual detail.
• Ability to communicate design decisions and technical tradeoffs effectively with designers, engineers, and product managers.
• Experience using AI-native tools and workflows to accelerate design, prototyping, or frontend development.
• Curiosity about emerging interaction patterns for AI-powered products and experiences.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing enterprise SaaS products.
• Experience in identity, authentication, or cybersecurity.
• Professional experience in both UX design and frontend engineering.
• Experience with AI-native design and development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, v0, or similar.

Why Join Ping Identity?
