- Collaborate closely with delivery teams, UX designers, and stakeholders to ensure successful implementation and adoption.
- Provide technical guidance to partners implementing open identity standards, including verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers.
- Contribute to Rust-based codebases that operate across backend, mobile, and browser environments.
- Support deployment operations, manage infrastructure in cloud environments, and assist with post-launch support.
What We're Looking For
- At least two years of experience developing backend systems in Rust, Go, C#, or Java.
- Strong proficiency in frontend technologies such as React and TypeScript, with attention to security and accessibility.
- Proven track record of delivering robust, production-grade software in cross-functional teams.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps practices including CI/CD and infrastructure as code.
- Excellent communication skills and comfort engaging directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- U.S. residency and interest in working with government and public sector organizations.
Nice-to-Have Experience
- Background in digital identity, cryptography, or blockchain-related technologies.
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, GraphQL, or REST API design.
- Experience with mobile development using React Native or Flutter.
- Knowledge of federated identity, OAuth, OpenID Connect, or PKI systems.
- Prior work in regulated or high-compliance environments, especially in government tech.
- Active participation in open-source projects or standards bodies related to identity.
- Commitment to inclusive design principles and accessibility standards like WCAG and Section 508.
Our Approach
We build open, standards-based solutions that empower individuals with control over their digital identities. Our work emphasizes privacy, community collaboration, and long-term sustainability. You'll contribute to open-source projects, engage with standards organizations, and help shape the future of trusted digital services for the public good.
