Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Downie is a results-driven engineering leader with 14 years of experience building and scaling identity and account systems, most recently serving as Senior Director of Engineering for Identity at ID.me. He has a track record of growing organizations (expanding engineering from one to six teams), delivering high-stakes, high-availability integrations with government agencies, and driving cost savings and revenue through strategic product and vendor decisions. Comfortable both in hands-on technical oversight and organizational strategy, he led core systems spanning identity verification, fraud controls, wallets, and mobile experiences. Now on sabbatical in Virginia, he’s spent time finishing long-delayed projects and exploring new interests after nearly a decade at ID.me—an indicator of both deep domain expertise and a refreshed perspective. Collected, pragmatic, and experienced in mission-critical consumer identity at scale, he blends operational rigor with a people-first approach to leadership.
