Role Overview
ID.me is seeking a Software Engineer III to join the Developer Portal team, where we're building the self-service platform that enables organizations to rapidly integrate id.me
Identity proofing is fundamentally complex. Integrating an identity proofing flow requires many steps while meeting standards-body assurance requirements. The Developer Portal is the product that brings those pieces together for the external developer.
Today, much of that onboarding is still performed manually by in-house Solutions Consultants who have many other responsibilities. Our mission is to enable customers and their developers to register their application, configure their identity needs, test in a production-like sandbox, and launch to production all through a modern self-service experience.
This is a . You will spend most of your time designing and building the services, APIs, and data models behind the portal — application registration, authorization, and the developer-facing APIs our customers integrate against. You'll also ship the user-facing surfaces of those services power, working in our Next.js and React frontend to take features all the way to the customer rather than handing them off at the API boundary.
