Requirements
5+ years of professional software development experience, with significant focus on mobile or client-side engineering.

1+ years experience developing production mobile applications for iOS (Swift/Objective-C) or Android (Kotlin/Java), or cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) with native module integration.
Experience implementing W3C Verifiable Credentials (VC Data Model 1.x/2.x), Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), or related decentralized identity standards (SD-JWT VC, mdoc/ISO 18013-5 mDL).
Demonstrated ability to independently own and ship complex features end-to-end with minimal oversight.
Hands-on experience with platform secure hardware APIs: iOS Secure Enclave, iOS Keychain, Android Keystore, Android StrongBox, or equivalent Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) primitives.
Responsibilities
ID.me is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Wallet/Authentication Platform team, with a focus on the client-side and credential-layer experiences that power the ID.me digital identity wallet.
This role sits at the leading edge of digital identity — building the mobile and web surfaces through which over 140 million members hold, manage, and present their credentials.
Our team is investing heavily in next-generation wallet capabilities: W3C Verifiable Credentials, ISO 18013-5 mobile driver's licenses (mDL), passkeys, and cryptographically-bound credentials secured by device hardware.
You will bring deep experience in mobile development, secure hardware APIs, and digital credential standards to help us ship these capabilities securely and at scale.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will operate with a high degree of independence, designing and shipping features across iOS, Android, and/or web wallet clients while partnering closely with Platform, Security, Identity, and Product to ensure our credential issuance and presentation flows meet the highest bar for usability, interoperability, and security.
