Role Overview ID.me is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join the Trust Service team, where we build and operate the core infrastructure that decides how much trust to extend to every identity claim made by over 152 million members. The Trust Service owns the Trust Graph, a structured, queryable record of identity inspections that captures what was verified and how reliably it was verified. Every downstream access decision at federal agencies, state governments, healthcare organizations, and consumer brands depends on the trust data our service produces. The Trust Service is a foundational platform API: its correctness, availability, and contract stability directly affect every team that builds on top of it. As a Staff Engineer, you will be the technical anchor for this service. You will drive architectural decisions, set the standard for correctness and reliability on a system where errors have real identity and access consequences, and lead complex cross-team initiatives that span the identity and authentication platform. You will shape how the trust data model evolves, own the API contracts that downstream teams bind to, and raise the bar for engineering quality, security, and operational excellence across the team.
