About the role

  • We have deep product market fit and are scaling to meet the demands of the world's most complex government agencies.
  • This is a foundational role for a senior engineer who thrives in an in-person, collaborative environment and wants to be "in the room" where our most complex architectural decisions are made.
  • While Authorium is a distributed company, our SF office is where we tackle our most intricate "war room" challenges-from modularizing our core domain to whiteboarding the next generation of our workflow engine.

Responsibilities

  • Authorium is building the operating system for the infrastructure of democracy.
  • We serve the agencies that support millions of citizens.
  • Own the most complex infrastructure work - designing internal developer platforms, CI/CD pipelines, deployment abstractions, and the foundational systems that product teams build on top of.
  • Work in-person (Monday-Thursday) with our SF engineering leadership to design platform capabilities, resolve production incidents, and translate engineering pain points into infrastructure solutions.
  • You'll lead infrastructure code reviews, define SLOs, and drive improvements to observability, automated testing, and deployment safety.
  • Use Cursor and Claude to automate infrastructure toil and focus on high-leverage platform design.
  • You partner with engineering teams to turn reliability pain into well-scoped platform investments.
  • A history of high-quality infrastructure-as-code, runbooks, and a drive to build self-service systems that reduce toil for the entire engineering org.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems, networking, and cloud architecture.
  • Systems Thinker: Proven track record designing and operating reliable, scalable infrastructure - including service meshes, internal tooling, and developer-facing APIs or abstractions.
  • Hands-on experience with ECS/EKS, CloudWatch, IAM, VPC design, Parameter Store, and modern IaC tooling (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK).

Nice to have

  • AWS Depth: Hands-on experience with ECS/EKS, CloudWatch, IAM, VPC design, Parameter Store, and modern IaC tooling (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK).
  • Regulated Industry Experience: Previous work in compliance-heavy environments such as GovTech, FinTech, or HealthTech (FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA) - ideally with a focus on infrastructure compliance controls.
  • Grow Stage Veteran: Previous experience at a company in the $5M-$30M ARR range where you were one of the senior-most individual contributors.
  • Previous work in compliance-heavy environments such as GovTech, FinTech, or HealthTech (FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA) - ideally with a focus on infrastructure compliance controls.
