Principal Engineer Person & Trust Platform

IDMe is seeking a Principal Software Development Engineer to serve as the technical authority across the Person and Trust platforms — the systems that define who a person is and how much confidence IDMe can place in that identity. You will own the data model strategy, API contracts, and long-term architecture across the Person API, the Trust Service, and the Inspection Catalog, along with the verification and validation evidence that connects them.

Person, Trust, and the Inspection Catalog are foundational systems at IDMe: together they determine who someone is, how inspection evidence is collected, and how much confidence to place in that identity. The role calls for deep expertise in data modeling and graph structures, applied to how verification and validation evidence and the resulting trust decisions are represented and queried. You will own how identity data is modeled — including how Person-to-SSN, Person-to-Face, and Person-to-Legal relationships are expressed — and how confidence in an identity is determined.

You’ll set technical direction, establish the patterns and contracts that other teams build against, and partner closely with Product, Architecture, Identity, Security, and Compliance to deliver a trustworthy foundation used by millions of users and trusted partners.
