Software Development Engineer III — Commerce & Loyalty
ID.me is seeking a Software Development Engineer III to join the Commerce & Loyalty team and build Shop, the platform that connects members of trusted communities (military, first responders, teachers, nurses, students, and government employees) with exclusive offers, cashback, and benefits from leading brands. You will craft the member-facing experience with a modern frontend stack (Next.js and React), shaping how millions of members discover offers and claim rewards. This role is 5 days a week onsite in Mountain View, CA or McLean, VA.
You will work on a team where AI-first development is the default: AI tooling is woven through how we design, build, test, and ship. Partnering with the Product, Design, Application, QE, API, and Infrastructure teams, you will deliver fast, delightful, and reliable experiences at scale, and hold them up under major peak-traffic events.
Key Responsibilities include building and maintaining the Shop member experience with Next.js and React, developing responsive, accessible, high-performance UI for offer discovery, cashback, and rewards, integrating the frontend with backend REST and GraphQL services and internal identity systems, contributing to and reusing a shared design system and component library, optimizing frontend performance and reliability under peak shopping traffic, practicing AI-first development, upholding the security and privacy of member data on the client, collaborating across teams to ship features end to end, writing high-quality, well-tested code with automated tests and observability instrumentation, and participating in system design discussions, code reviews, and technical documentation.
Required qualifications include a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience), 4+ years building web applications with strong frontend depth in React and Next.js, proficiency with TypeScript and modern frontend tooling, fluency using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as a core part of development, proven ability to deliver features end to end, including automated test coverage, observability, monitoring, and documentation, experience building in a containerized, cloud-based, infrastructure-as-code ecosystem; exposure to GCP with Docker, Kubernetes, or Nomad, and the ability to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly and work collaboratively.
Preferred qualifications include building and consuming REST or GraphQL APIs in production, performance optimization for high-traffic consumer web (Core Web Vitals, SSR/ISR, caching), experience with design systems and component libraries, accessibility standards (WCAG) and building inclusive UIs, experience in e-commerce, marketplace, offers/affiliate, loyalty, or payments domains, backend familiarity for full-stack contribution, and experience with event-driven architectures and cloud-native patterns.
The annual base salary listed does not include a company bonus, incentive for sales roles, equity, and benefits which will be determined based on experience, skills, education, relevant training, geographic location, and role. ID.me offers comprehensive medical, dental, vision, health savings account, flexible spending accounts (medical, limited purpose, dependent care, commuter benefit accounts), basic and voluntary life and AD&D insurance, 401(k) with company match, parental leave, ability to participate in unlimited paid time off subject to the terms and conditions of the PTO policy, including 8 company-wide holidays, short and long-term disability insurance, accident and critical illness insurance, referral bonus policy, employee assistance program, pet insurance, travel assistant program, wellbeing and childcare discounts, benefit advocates, and a learning and development benefit.
