Role Overview
ID.me is seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Platform & Data Infrastructure) to architect, scale, and maintain the core cloud-native platform and data infrastructure that powers our digital identity platform. In this role, you will take ownership of multi-region Kubernetes fleets, automated GitOps pipelines, policy-as-code governance, and enterprise data workflow orchestrations. Working closely with Platform, Security, SRE, and Product Engineering teams, you will turn complex infrastructure into self-service developer capabilities, enforce security guardrails, and ensure high availability across critical production services. This is a hands-on technical role for a senior engineer with deep expertise in cloud-native distributed systems, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps continuous delivery, and data platform operations.
This role is based out of our Mountain View, CA or McLean, VA offices and requires full-time in-office attendance.
