About The Position
ID.me is seeking a Software Development Engineer III to join the Commerce & Loyalty team and build Shop, the platform that connects members of trusted communities (military, first responders, teachers, nurses, students, and government employees) with exclusive offers, cashback, and benefits from leading brands.

This role is 5 days a week onsite in Mountain View, CA or McLean, VA.

Partnering with the Product, Design, Application, QE, API, and Infrastructure teams, you will deliver fast, delightful, and reliable experiences at scale, and hold them up under major peak-traffic events.
