Role Overview
ID.me is seeking a Senior Fullstack Software Development Engineer to join the Person team. You'll design and build the systems that define who a person is on ID.me — the canonical record of their identity, the APIs that serve it, and the unified experience where members see and manage it.
As a Senior Engineer, you will play a key role in architecting and scaling the Person platform to ensure it is secure, consistent, and performant across ID.me's ecosystem. You'll partner with design to build the Person experience, and own the Backend for Frontend APIs and services that serve as the source of truth for personal data — working across teams to deliver systems that keep a person's identity accurate and consistent for millions of members and the partners who rely on them.
This position will be based full-time in either our McLean, VA or Mountain View, CA office.
