This is a hybrid role that focuses on building user experience but specifically for developers. This includes API design, software integrations, CLIs, client libraries, GUI interface, and documentation.

ℹ️ About AuthZed

We’re pioneering open-source authorization solutions for scaling businesses tackling complex end-user permissions in zero-trust architectures. Our focus is on providing the most feature-complete authorization software, SpiceDB, and enabling global production deployments with single and multi-tenant as-a-service products, SpiceDB Cloud and SpiceDB Dedicated.

We decided early on to protect employee equity and raise strategically; this allowed us to effectively deploy our $3.9M seed capital to build the most mature project in our space, garner credibility, and grow our open-source community. Now, with increasing user interest in commercial products supporting the deployment of SpiceDB, we’re ramping up the revenue organization to handle scale.

AuthZed is a fully remote company with employees across the US and Europe. We’re a hardworking group with a software-driven culture; even sales folks know how to code! We bring integrity to all our interactions and trust each other to make the right decisions.

⭐️ We value:

  • Agency - we have the autonomy and resources needed to succeed.
  • Collaboration - we help each other tackle complex problems.
  • Open-Mindedness - we leave biases out of our ideas and thoughtfully consider challenges to them via alternate perspectives and solutions.
  • Diversity - we’re not interested in echo chambers.

If you’re a passionate, self-motivated, and ambitious individual who is excited about creating something from the ground up - we’d love to speak with you!

  • Prior experience in Developer Advocacy, Developer Relations, or a similar role.
  • Strong empathy for developers and a passion for creating delightful user experiences.
  • Experience in designing, building, and maintaining APIs, CLIs, and related software as a part of a scalable system.
