IDMe is a full-time, in-office culture. Unless a specific job description explicitly states otherwise, all roles are on-site five days per week at one of our offices in McLean, VA; Mountain View, CA; New York City, NY; or Tampa, FL. Certain roles — such as field-based sales or other remote-by-design positions — may have different work arrangements as noted in their individual postings.

At IDMe, we embrace the thoughtful use of AI tools in our daily work and there are even occasions where we leverage AI in our hiring process. However, during the interview process, we want to understand your individual skills and experiences. Therefore, we have guidelines on how AI can be appropriately used during your application and interviews which can be found here.

Overview

Solution Consultants at IDMe are the technical and product experts in the presales process, playing a key role in advancing customer requirements. In this role you will collaborate with sales teams to deliver product demonstrations, respond to technical proposals, lead integration design, and create documentation and architecture diagrams.

Ideally based in Mountain View, CA, the Senior Solution Consultant, Workforce West supports IDMe’s Workforce Identity business across the full western territory. Workforce Identity puts biometric identity verification at the front of the hiring workflow, confirming a candidate is a real person before any screening, reference check, or placement decision. Our customers are rarely employers themselves — they are the background screening, talent intelligence, applicant tracking, and staffing platforms that employers hire through, which makes most of these integrations B2B2B. This is IDMe’s newest vertical and it is being built now: time to go-live is the number most in need of improvement, so the work is not only winning the technical deal but designing rollouts that reach production. You will also support the overlay model, partnering with SLED, Healthcare, and Commerce & Loyalty teams in the region who carry workforce opportunities alongside their own.

We value strong listeners who can deeply understand customer challenges and provide structured advice on overcoming them using IDMe’s technology. You must be highly technical and comfortable interacting directly with customers.

In the rapidly evolving digital identity market, you must understand IDMe’s architecture and capabilities while applying business insights to solve customer problems. Our mission is to give users something invaluable: their time. Solution Consultants at IDMe make a direct, positive impact by helping people access services online more efficiently.

• Work through the partner’s downstream employer customers, designing integrations the partner can activate and support at scale rather than one employer at a time
• Own the technical shape of the rollout, favoring phased and waved launches over big-bang cutovers that overwhelm partner support teams

• Experience designing partner-facing reporting, webhooks, and dashboard provisioning as part of an integration rather than as a post-launch follow-up
• Comfort with phased rollout planning and sandbox-to-production promotion discipline
• Experience enabling other field teams on a product they will sell but not specialize in

Growth From Here

From Senior Solution Consultant, the ladder forks into three tracks: Principal Solution Consultant (generalist IC, P5), Specialist Solution Consultant (lateral IC, P5), or Manager, Solution Consulting (people leadership, M3).

Movement between Principal and Specialist at P5 is lateral, and does not require going through management. Because Workforce Identity is a new vertical, there is unusual room to define the specialization itself and carry it forward into Distinguished Solution Engineer (P6) and Technical Fellow.
