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 backend-leaning full-stack role. 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.
You'll own features end-to-end: from API contract through database schema, deployment, and production operation. You'll take defined problems, coordinate across teams to land them safely, and grow into technical ownership of the systems you build.
Our backend services are primarily Java (Spring Boot) alongside legacy Ruby services powering identity, organizations, applications, and authorization. The frontend is a micro-frontend platform built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript. Previous Ruby experience is welcome but not required — we value engineers who are comfortable learning whatever technology the problem requires.
This position is based in our Mountain View, CA office five days per week.
Design and implement Developer Portal capabilities end-to-end — from API contract design through database schema, frontend integration, and deployment. Independently drive small-to-medium features, coordinating with adjacent teams where your work crosses service boundaries.
Own the data models and REST API contracts for the capabilities you build, making deliberate decisions about backwards compatibility and versioning. Our customers integrate directly against these contracts, so changes must be additive and safe by default.
Build secure Developer Portal capabilities spanning OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, enterprise SSO, multi-tenant authorization, relationship-based access control, session management, credential management, and identity-aware application provisioning. Partner with our Identity, Organizations, Authorization, and Platform Engineering teams to evolve these capabilities without disrupting existing integrations.
Partner with Product, Design, Architecture, and platform teams to clarify requirements, surface risks early, and keep the developer experience coherent as the platform grows.
