Authorium is a no-code, cloud-based platform exclusively for government administrative operations. Backed by SJF Ventures.
About the role
Hands-On Technical Contribution: You are comfortable in the codebase. You are able to take work yourself rather vs. only routing it. You personally investigate complex, ambiguous problems before deciding how to tackle them with the team. You are a technical mentor to the engineering teams you work with.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years building software, with at least 2–3 years leading engineers directly — and you are still writing and reviewing code today
- Strong fundamentals in distributed systems and cloud architecture
- Demonstrable recent technical depth: you can walk us through an architecture you designed, a production incident you personally diagnosed, and a technical decision you got wrong and corrected
- Track record of maintaining predictable quality and delivery, with specifics on how you managed it and what it cost
- Experience leading a distributed team, holding quality and communication together across time zones
- Fluency with modern AI-assisted development, plus a real point of view on where agent-generated code needs human scrutiny and where it does not
