About ID.me

ID.me is a high-growth enterprise software company that simplifies how people prove and share their identity online. We empower individuals to control their data through a portable and trusted login, eliminating the need for multiple passwords when visiting sites with our ID.me button.

Our digital identity network has over 117 million registered members and is used by fourteen federal agencies, thirty states, and more than 600 corporations for secure identity proofing and verification.

We meet federal standards for consumer authentication set by the Commerce Department and are approved as a NIST 800-63-3 IAL2 / AAL2 credential service provider by the Kantara Initiative. Our 'No Identity Left Behind' initiative strives to expand digital access and inclusion for all people. We offer various pathways to identity verification – online self-serve, live video chat agents, and in-person options.

About the Role

We're looking for a Principal Security Engineer to join our growing security team. This role offers the opportunity to innovate within the digital identity ecosystem. You'll design, build, run, and automate distributed, fault-tolerant security solutions at scale, ensuring our infrastructure is high-performance, resilient, secure, and observable.

This position involves thought leadership, research, and innovation on a broad scale. As an onsite position based in Mountain View, CA, you'll work closely with our team to drive technology direction and roadmap for development and continuous improvement of our security infrastructure.

  1. Develop and implement long-term strategic plans for security infrastructure.
  2. Set technology direction and roadmap for security infrastructure development.
  3. Lead system and solution design for security infrastructure across the team.
  4. Optimize security systems for reliability, stability, and performance.
  5. Ensure ease of maintenance, monitoring, logging, business continuity, scaling capabilities, and replaceability of security infrastructure systems.
  6. Analyze complex problems, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop paths forward.
  7. Maintain relationships with cross-team and cross-functional groups necessary for success.
  8. Serve as a role model for the team and shape the culture.
  9. Teach, mentor, and guide less-experienced engineers on the team.
  10. Define standards and best practices for the team and organization.
