You'll set technical direction for the areas you own, mentor and unblock teammates, and take accountability for both the engineering health and business outcomes of the systems in your sphere. Your work will sit at the intersection of identity, security, and consumer experience, directly shaping how millions of people prove and access who they are online., * Own & Ship Authentication Features: Build, maintain, and improve the ID.me Wallet authentication experience - sign-in, registration, MFA, account recovery, password reset, and MyWallet. Take loosely defined problems, clarify requirements with stakeholders, create a plan, and independently drive medium-to-large features end-to-end from definition through deployment and post-launch evaluation - delivering well-tested, production-ready results with minimal oversight, and setting technical direction for the areas you own. * Security, Risk & Production Reliability: Own and evolve the team's real-time risk engine and its integration across authentication flows - detecting and mitigating credential attacks, account takeover, and abuse while preserving a low-friction experience for legitimate members. Apply security best practices as a first-class concern in every feature you ship. Take accountability for the production health of these systems - participating in the on-call rotation, leading incident response and post-mortems, and driving improvements to reliability and observability across the team's services. * Code Quality & Technical Leadership: Write high-quality, maintainable code with strong test coverage, following team best practices around code reviews, CI/CD, and documentation. Raise the bar for engineering excellence across the team, and mentor and unblock other engineers through pairing, code review, and knowledge sharing - creating team redundancy on the systems you own. Improve the health of the codebase by identifying and addressing technical debt and strengthening shared components. * Third-Party & Internal Integrations: Integrate with MFA providers, email/SMS delivery services, internal identity services, and downstream relying parties. Proactively raise issues or opportunities discovered during integration work. * Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence: Act as a connector between your team and others - partnering with Product, Design, Security, Identity, and adjacent engineering teams to deliver cohesive auth experiences, anticipating cross-system dependencies, resolving ambiguity, and driving alignment on technical approaches. Participate actively in planning, retrospectives, and cross-team discussions - bringing your perspective to help shape the team's roadmap.
