What you'll do
- Build and maintain the SuperApp's customer-facing web surfaces — including the Browser Extension's web-facing UI (content scripts, popup, in-page injected components) as well as other experiences like the Home Page and Life Events — using React and TypeScript.
- Build contextual offer discovery, coupon/cashback detection, and in-page notification patterns that surface relevant offers as members browse and shop online.
- Integrate with Shopping Graph and Developer Portal APIs for merchant, offer, and eligibility data rather than hardcoding business logic client-side.
- Contribute to the broader ID.me Shop web experience alongside SuperApp surfaces as roadmap priorities evolve.
- Work closely with Design and Product to turn discovery and personalization concepts into working, member-centered web UI.
- Ensure shipped SuperApp features meet ID.me's standards for performance, accessibility, and cross-browser reliability (Chrome, Edge, Firefox).
- Provide production support and maintenance for shipped features, including triaging and resolving incidents and bugs.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong frontend engineering experience (typically 4+ years, or equivalent: 2+ years with a Master's degree)
- Experience building or maintaining browser extensions (Chrome/Edge/Firefox), including content scripts, background/service workers, and Manifest V3
- Solid production experience with React (and Next.js) — required for adoption, not only for wrappers
Nice to have
- Deep expertise in vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and the DOM
- Hands-on experience shipping native Web Components in production (Custom Elements, templates, Shadow DOM, slots, events)
- Experience with micro-frontend architectures or contributing to a shared internal design system
- Experience building personalization, recommendation, or discovery-style UI
- Experience building e-commerce, marketplace, or discovery UI (cashback, coupons, affiliate/offer detection)
- Familiarity with identity, benefits, or credential-based access concepts
- Experience with UI component libraries or design systems
- Familiarity with design tokens, theming, and scalable CSS (custom properties, shared stylesheets)
