ID.me is a full-time, in-office culture. Unless a specific job description explicitly states otherwise, all roles are on-site five days per week at one of our offices in McLean, VA; Mountain View, CA; New York City, NY; or Tampa, FL. Certain roles — such as field-based sales or other remote-by-design positions — may have different work arrangements as noted in their individual postings.

At ID.me, we embrace the thoughtful use of AI tools in our daily work and there are even occasions where we leverage AI in our hiring process. However, during the interview process, we want to understand your individual skills and experiences. Therefore, we have guidelines on how AI can be appropriately used during your application and interviews which can be found here.

Role Overview

ID.me is seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Platform & Data Infrastructure) to architect, scale, and maintain the core cloud-native platform and data infrastructure that powers our digital identity platform. In this role, you will take ownership of multi-region Kubernetes fleets, automated GitOps pipelines, policy-as-code governance, and enterprise data workflow orchestrations. Working closely with Platform, Security, SRE, and Product Engineering teams, you will turn complex infrastructure into self-service developer capabilities, enforce security guardrails, and ensure high availability across critical production services. This is a hands-on technical role for a senior engineer with deep expertise in cloud-native distributed systems, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps continuous delivery, and data platform operations.

This role is based out of our Mountain View, CA or McLean, VA offices and requires full-time in-office attendance.

Responsibilities

  • Operate Cloud-Native Kubernetes Fleets: Own the lifecycle, network topology, node-pool migrations, and multi-region deployment of production Kubernetes clusters (GKE/EKS) supporting microservices at scale.
  • Drive GitOps & CI/CD Delivery: Maintain automated GitOps reconciliation pipelines using FluxCD and Helm, driving cluster bootstrapping, progressive rollouts, and secret integrations.
  • Scale Infrastructure as Code & Policy Governance: Architect modular Terraform codebases, manage enterprise workspaces (Terraform Enterprise/Terragrunt), and enforce compliance guardrails using policy-as-code frameworks (Sentinel/OPA).
  • Maintain Data Platform Infrastructure: Build and optimize data pipelines and workflow orchestrations using Apache Airflow, Kafka, and enterprise data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery).
  • Enforce Zero-Trust Security & Secrets Management: Integrate enterprise secret management tools (HashiCorp Vault, External Secrets Operator, Google Secret Manager/KMS) and enforce Workload Identity and network perimeter controls.
  • Lead Complex Infrastructure Migrations: Direct zero-downtime infrastructure initiatives, including IP-addressing migrations, cluster rebuilds, and database cutovers.
  • Drive Reliability, DR & On-Call Excellence: Active participation in on-call rotations, designing observability dashboards (Splunk, GCP Cloud Logging/Stackdriver), writing runbooks, and executing regional disaster recovery (DR) failover drills.
  • Technical Mentorship: Guide mid-level and junior engineers through code/design reviews, establishing self-service infrastructure standards across the organization.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Graduate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 4+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or cloud data infrastructure.
  • Strong programming skills in modern languages/scripts such as Python, Bash, SQL, or Java.
  • Deep experience operating enterprise-scale Kubernetes fleets (GKE or EKS) and container ecosystems.
  • Extensive, practical experience writing modular Terraform and managing Infrastructure as Code at scale.
  • Demonstrated experience operating event-streaming and workflow systems such as Apache Airflow, Kafka, or BigQuery.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certifications: Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD).
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform Enterprise (TFE) and writing Sentinel or Open Policy Agent (OPA) policy-as-code guardrails.
  • Proven experience with GitOps workflows utilizing FluxCD or ArgoCD across multi-tenant production fleets.
  • Advanced secrets management expertise using HashiCorp Vault and Kubernetes External Secrets Operator.
  • Track record of executing large-scale cloud migrations, data warehouse transitions (e.g., Vertica to BigQuery), or networking range overhauls with zero customer impact.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
