About this role

Join us in building the future of digital identity! With IDs in Wallet, users can use their IDs in person, in app, and on the web. We build the backend systems that make this possible.

Our services sit between Apple Wallet and digital credential issuers like state and national governments. We work at the intersection of distributed systems and cryptography, implementing cutting-edge identity features while maintaining the highest levels of security and user privacy. We're actively contributing to and shaping the digital identity ecosystem through standards like ISO 18013/23220, ICAO 9303, and the W3C Digital Credentials API.
