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.

- 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.
- 8+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or cloud data infrastructure.

- 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.
