Software Development Engineer

Who you are

• 4+ years of experience (or equivalent: 2+ years with a Master's degree) as a software engineer in modern web applications and distributed systems
• Proficiency in Python/TypeScript/JavaScript/Java
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Jest, and API automation
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD)
• Experience testing e-commerce/marketplace experiences, including offers and cashback logic, affiliate/attribution and click-tracking accuracy, consent-gate and error-state flows, and persona- or member-group-based test coverage (e.g., logged-in/out, cashback vs. community offers)
• Browser & Client-Side Testing: Experience building E2E test frameworks for browser extensions or other client-side commerce surfaces from scratch (page objects, extension-context fixtures, network/HAR-replay stubbing for anti-bot sites, cross-browser dispatch)
• API & Systems Testing: REST APIs, microservices, distributed and event-driven architectures; workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal)
• Testing Strategy & Ops: Canary/phased rollouts, automated rollback, contract testing (Pact), performance/load testing (Locust, k6, Gatling); exposure to failure-triage or flaky-test classification approaches that reduce manual CI triage
• Engineering & Platform: Java/Spring Boot or Ruby on Rails; GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform/Helm, Vault-based secrets management; observability and chaos engineering
• Identity & Security (nice to have): OAuth 2.0/OIDC, RBAC/ReBAC, secrets management, tenant isolation, IDV/KYC and PII/compliance validation
• AI-Augmented Testing: Using agentic tools for test generation, code review, and test planning
• Debugging: Strong root cause analysis across frontend, backend, APIs, and distributed services

What the job involves

• As a Software Development Engineer III on the Quality Engineering team, you will build and maintain automation frameworks and testing infrastructure that give ID
• Me engineering teams the confidence to ship quickly and safely
• You'll build tooling for functional, end-to-end, and security-focused test automation, help extend testing coverage into production through canary releases and progressive delivery, and apply AI-assisted testing practices as part of the team's broader adoption
• This includes building test coverage for consumer-facing commerce and marketplace experiences (offers, cashback, affiliate/attribution flows) alongside core platform and identity services
• You'll work closely with engineering, product, and security teams to raise the bar on quality and resilience across a platform that verifies the identity of millions of users and the commerce experiences built on top of it
• Build and maintain automation frameworks (Playwright, Python, Jest, API automation) that provide comprehensive, reliable test coverage across ID.me's services
• Develop end-to-end and integration tests for complex, asynchronous, event-driven, and eventually-consistent systems, including workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal
• Support testing-in-production practices, including canary deployments, progressive/phased rollouts, synthetic monitoring, and automated rollback triggers, to help validate real-world behavior safely before full release
• Build and maintain test automation for commerce and marketplace surfaces, such as offers, cashback, affiliate/attribution and click-tracking accuracy, consent gates, and persona-based experiences (e.g., logged-in/out, member-group-specific offers), including client-side surfaces like browser extensions
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions), contributing to reusable/shared workflow components that other service teams can adopt
• Use AI tools to accelerate test authoring, test plan generation, and code review
• Collaborate with development teams on testable code structure, coverage gaps, and quality checks throughout the development lifecycle
• Debug and root-cause issues across frontend, backend, APIs, and distributed services, and drive fixes to closure
• Help define and track reliability metrics (e.g., time to detect, time to remediate) for the systems you test
