ID.me•Mountain View, CA

7d•$166,000 - $216,000•Onsite

About The Position

ID.me is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Front End to join the Applications team, building the SuperApp — ID.me's web experience that helps members discover where their verified identity unlocks benefits, offers, and services across commerce, government, healthcare, and travel. This role covers the SuperApp's customer-facing web surfaces, which include the Browser Extension along with other front-end experiences such as the Home Page, Life Events, and Government section. As team priorities evolve, this role may also extend into the broader ID.me Shop web experience. This position will work from our Mountain View, CA office five days per week.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Strong frontend engineering experience (typically 4+ years, or equivalent: 2+ years with a Master's degree)
Experience building or maintaining browser extensions (Chrome/Edge/Firefox), including content scripts, background/service workers, and Manifest V3
Solid production experience with React (and Next.js) — required for adoption, not only for wrappers

Nice To Haves

Deep expertise in vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and the DOM
Hands-on experience shipping native Web Components in production (Custom Elements, templates, Shadow DOM, slots, events)
Experience with micro-frontend architectures or contributing to a shared internal design system
Experience building personalization, recommendation, or discovery-style UI
Experience building e-commerce, marketplace, or discovery UI (cashback, coupons, affiliate/offer detection)
Familiarity with identity, benefits, or credential-based access concepts
Experience with UI component libraries or design systems
Familiarity with design tokens, theming, and scalable CSS (custom properties, shared stylesheets)
Proven collaboration with design on system-level UI
Strong grasp of accessibility standards and cross-browser behavior
Experience integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs
Experience optimizing performance for lightweight, injected, or embedded UI
AI-native engineering practices — comfortable using AI tooling (e.g., code generation, test coverage, documentation) to accelerate development

Responsibilities

Build and maintain the SuperApp's customer-facing web surfaces — including the Browser Extension's web-facing UI (content scripts, popup, in-page injected components) as well as other experiences like the Home Page and Life Events — using React and TypeScript.
Build contextual offer discovery, coupon/cashback detection, and in-page notification patterns that surface relevant offers as members browse and shop online.
Integrate with Shopping Graph and Developer Portal APIs for merchant, offer, and eligibility data rather than hardcoding business logic client-side.
Contribute to the broader ID.me Shop web experience alongside SuperApp surfaces as roadmap priorities evolve.
Work closely with Design and Product to turn discovery and personalization concepts into working, member-centered web UI.
Ensure shipped SuperApp features meet ID.me's standards for performance, accessibility, and cross-browser reliability (Chrome, Edge, Firefox).
Provide production support and maintenance for shipped features, including triaging and resolving incidents and bugs.
